Summary: Sample Test most like the PCAT
Comment: I used this review book for taking the sample tests. They were in exactly the same format as the actual PCAT, unlike some of the other books. The biology section was pretty much equal to the test in difficulty. Both the test and the book contained fairly simple questions. The chemistry and verbal analogy sections were also equal in the level of difficulty. The PCAT mathematics was a little harder than the questions in this book, even though it contained only geometry and elementary algebra. You only have 30 minutes to complete 60 questions and they neglect to tell you that fact in this book. I found that the reading comprehension questions were not anywhere as difficult as the actual test.
I do recommend this book, even if you just use it to get familiar with the format of the test. I scored at the 98th percentile and I think that part of that is due to this book. When I took the test, it seemed very familiar to me which helped my anxiety levels.

Summary: Good Way to Review
Comment: I just took the October PCAT and I this was the only outside book I bought to study with. Between all the review questions and the 2 practice tests this was an excellent way for me to review concepts I had learned a couple years ago. The questions are pretty accurate with the real test, however the Reading section on the PCAT was more difficult. I would reccommend this book as a great study companion to all you old science books.

Summary: How to Prepare for the PCAT
Comment: I agree with Chadd's review regarding time mamagement. I took this test earlier today (10/25/2003) and found this book to be very useful for preparing in the Verbal, Biology and Chemistry sections. However, the Reading Comprehension was significantly more difficult than the passages/questions given in this book. Many questions on the actual exam were "What did the author infer from "...." in the passage". Also, on the actual exam, be very careful with your time management in the Quantitative section since there are 65 questions in about 30 minutes. I would suggest finding other sources to supplement this text for the Reading Comprehension section. The method that I suggest is to study for this exam by practicing taking as many tests as you can find. Good Luck.
