From my experience with Kaplan materials, their practice tests seem to be more difficult than the real thing. So, don't fret if you bomb it as you score could be off by 10 percentiles.

On a side note, I wonder if Kaplan intentionally makes their practice tests difficult to lessen the number of people cashing in on their "Higher Score Guaranteed" pledge. I have no evidence to it, but it seems logical that Kaplan wouldn't want to make their exams so easy that people don't do as well on the real PCAT leading to many people wanting a free retake of the course.🙂
