I am starting my first 7 hours of College on January 13th. I am taking Psychology and Biology with labs. I was wondering when a good time to start studying for the PCAT will be..? My goal right now is to get into Pharmacy school. I want to be best prepared before I take that test.. any suggestions? Thanks!

Best time to study is the year Before you are going to apply to pharmacy school. Im applying next year, and I have been studying for 6-9 hours daily since December 10th. My exam next week [on the 7th]. I think I have studied enough. Been doing the practice Pearson exams and have been getting 75-95% percentile on them 🙂 Don't start studying now!!! its WAYYY to early.

Learn the material from your prereqs. Do not memorize/ cram then purge it. You will need to know it. Pcat prep starts in the classroom. I reviewed about 30 hours and got a 97, but that was not from " studying for the pcat" it was from doing my best to really learn the material in my science and math courses.
