Voiding PCAT Score Inevitable?

I was reading the candidate booklet on scores cancellation for the upcoming PCAT exam when all of a sudden I just realized that my score may be voided!!!! I took the PCAT last August and I did horrible. I got lower than a 30th percentile. This time I know I can do better. My question is, if I get to a 90th percentile on my next PCAT score, will Pearson automatically cancel my score? What can I do afterward?

I believe if your score jumps by over 50% they automatically void it. Then I believe as long as you show a receipt of a study guide/course or transcripts that you took certain classes that they'll validate your scores.

So can I show them my receipts for purchasing Pearson's online practice exam?

Is that all you used?

But yes, I think that could work.

Well I used the 2008-2009 Kaplan book that I bought from Amazon, and the GRE verbal book from Borders. But I don't think I have the receipts for them, unless Pearson want my credit card statement lol.

Haha well I'm sure you'll be fine. Since you bought it online there's a copy on the internet...somewhere!

same problem, took the June 2010 PCATs, scored lower than 30th percent. due to personal reasons I was not focused on the exam but I'm taking it again in Aug...so hopefully they won't void it because it's going to mess up everything!
