Which Kaplan PCAT book should I get, the 2007ed. or the 2008-09ed? Or does it really matter?
I'm not taking the PCAT until June of 2008.

Also, besides a Stats textbook and Calc textbook what else would be good to study for the apparantly CRAZY hard math section?

Thanks!

I had the 05 edition but I went ahead and purchased the latest one out which is 2008-2009. There are some changes that are noteworthy. Stick to the latest edition.

Thanks for that info!

Anyone have any advice on my other question?:

Your basic high school mathematics textbook should be sufficient. The problems on the exam aren't hard, it's the timing that's hard. You need to get comfortable with doing the problems quickly. You should be familiar with the types of problems that take a long time (i.e. rate problems, derivatives, integrals, areas under curves) and learn how to set them up quickly. Remember every question can be done in less than a minute. That's how they design the test.
