Great Review....

I haven't taken my PCATs yet, I'll update this when I do, but as far as I can tell, this is a great book. It covers everything in depth and real well. I don't know what the other guys were crying about. You definitely want a study book that is either as hard or harder than the actual test? Otherwise, what good will it do you. I guess you could read a 3rd grade book on biology to study. But that doesn't help now does it. The writing sample on the cover means that there are sample passages in the book duh!! Excellent book. I highly recommend it.

Great Hints

This review book had some very helpful hints and if you are good at preparing yourself in enough time before the PCAT I think it is very beneficial. The questions are harder than the actual questions that are asked on the PCAT but it allows you to go over the subject so you understand it. I think it was most helpful with all the tips like what to do the week before the test, answers that can easily be excluded etc. I'm very happy that I got the book because it made me feel very prepared even though the questions were difficult.

Preparation for PCAT

I bought Preparation for the PCAT and took the exam last spring. I found the book extremely helpful and I scored quite high on the exam. The outlines of what to study were great. It pointed me in the right direction for my studying, especially since I had been out of school for a couple of years. It also has a full length practice exam with answers. I liked how this book focused on the exam material and did not go into much detail about how to apply to pharmacy colleges etc. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is taking or is considering taking the PCAT.
