Hi,
I'm trying to buy a used dr. collins study packet. I don't know whether if its a scam or if the person is legitimately selling it. Can anyone tell me what the packets/study guide generally looks like? Appreciate it, thanks

It took one of my colleagues a few weeks to finish the guide. He said even though it looks photocopied it is a very thick guide overall and takes time to master. I will try to get my hands on one soon.

If you've taken General & Organic Chemistry and Bio 1 you should be fine, I don't recall any difficult bio-chem problem. Know the basic structure of all four types of organic molecule.

If you buy it from dr Collins website it does come in a pretty big box of loose papers stapled together in sections. Which is why it is easy to duplicate, if you see posting on here selling for cheap are most likely duplicating. It is best to buy from dr Collins himself to ensure you are not missing any information .

It looks like a bunch of loose computer pages. LOL. It is not bound or anything, and just someone photocopying their information. It is such good information, though.

Does it mention Dr. Collins anywhere on the pages? I recently ordered this packet, and I seem to have all of the exams, but not all of the pages indicate "Dr. Collins Copyright"

Also, can you help me in telling me if my packet is up to date??? On the bottom of the biology section, it says Copyright 1997, 1998, 2000, 2004, 2007, 2009 - is there a later version? The packet also includes updates to July 2012

The only pages that say copyright are the biology section. I don't remember the date on it, but it was a few years old. Does it include the January update? You probably got everything.

$100.00(used) vs $300+(real). You at least have 3 chances if you get scammed three times lol. I should have bought a used one back then when I was taking the PCAT. The guide is definitely not worth $370.00 but its probably one of the best PCAT guides none the less.
