What should I do?

So, after taking the PCAT on Thursday I still don't know how to feel about my score. Overall, my composite is where it needs to be, but my scores are ALL over the place.

VA 406/58
Bio 430/89
RC 392/36 😕
QA 407/61 🙁
CHM 455/98

Comp 82

The reading comp REALLY caught be off guard. There were multiple 8 paragraph passages and the others left me wondering what the hell I read. This really discouraged me and also impacted my QA score-- by the time I got to QA, my brain was fried. As far as VA, vocab has never been my forte, so I highly doubt I would get a better score if i retook it.

So, with all of that being said, should I retake it in September? I have a 3.59 from a reputable university and have over 5 years of tech experience in multiple environments.

No you don't need to retake it. The school cares lot more about your biology and chemistry score. I suggest you go ahead fill out your application. PCAT is just a way to get you an interview, and with that score I don't see why you wouldn't.

if u want to show off better score to schools, yes retake it. if u just want to get into schools, stay with it

if you don't mind me asking, do you have any study tips for the PCAT? I'm taking it in 4 weeks and even though this isn't my first time i'm freaking out more than ever.
