Two Writing Sections?

[wigwam]

I'm not sure, but i think i've read somewhere that the October PCAT has two writing sections. Is this true? If so, will both be on different types of writing? thanks.

Yes, PCAT is general has two writing sections. I believe you are only graded on one of them and the other is experimental. Obviously, they wouldn't tell you which is which.

Really.. that sucks.. They took examinee's time and energy on writing for experimental purpose...😡

Hehe, well you can think of it as an opportunity. If they're sucking your time and energy out with that experimental section, they're doing it to everyone else too. So as long as they suck less out of you than your fellow testtakers, you're in a better place right?

They've been doing that on the other sections too, so don't be too put off.😉

Yes, it is correct. Like you said they are using experimental on other sections too. I am taking a kaplan course and the instructor states that they do that on other questions too. So within some of the chemistry, biology, reading, calc, etc. The downside again is that you don't know which one and the good side is if you didn't do well on the questions that are experiential you still have a chance. But I guess you are taking your chances.
