Hi guys! I know it varies with each person but would about 3-3.5 weeks of day/night studying for PCAT be good enough to get a decent score?
 
Depends where you are and what score you are looking for. In 3-3.5 weeks you can definitely increase your score however you probably wont go from a 50 to an 80.
 
I think the biggest factor is how much you know prior to actually studying for the PCAT. If everything is review for somebody, 3 weeks would be more than enough time to polish up on concepts and such.

However, if maybe....half of the material is new to a person, 3 weeks would probably be cutting it close. Might need a bit more time.
 
I was taking my PCAT on a Monday, I started reviewing (consisted of reading an older PCAT prep book I got from my roommate) on Friday night. I didn't score nearly as well as I had wanted, but it's ok because I'm made it into school.
