Summary: Poor Preparation
Comment: Overall, this book is a poor representation of the PCAT. The verbal, biology, and chemistry sections are much more in-depth than the actual PCAT. However, the math and reading comprehension section were useful. Explanations for answers were provided at the end of each section but not for the sample PCAT. The answer key contained some errors. Not recommended.
Rating: 4
Summary: Very good help aid!!!
Comment: I've ordered this book from Amazon and I have to tell you that Amazon knows how to choose a good PCAT test preparation book. Despite the few errors it has, it is a great help aid in preparation for anyone who wants to take the dreaded PCAT. It has complete "quick and dirty" review of the subjects emphasized on the PCAT, it has concise and clear examples and it even gives you some test stragety. If anyone gets this book at least 6 months before taking the PCAT, there is a good chance that you will do well when you take the PCAT.

Summary: Great Book for preparation.
Comment: I don't know what the negative reviews are talking about, maybe they're trying to sell Barrons' book or something because I got this book from the library and compared it to other PCAT books that were available there and this one is clearly the best. After using it for a while, now I am buying it here at Amazon. If you want sample tests, this is not the best book, but if you are looking for a book that will help you prepare for the test, there is none better than this one that I have seen. What makes this book uniquely good is its in depth outline of topics that will be on the test (and by the way, the guy that said he got 99% on all parts of the exam is lying because the scores are NOT given in percentile, they're rankings, and to get the exact same ranking in 5 different categories would be statistically near impossible). All of us have taken tests before and think about what helps you STUDY the best: knowing in great detail all the possible topics that are on the test, or having an old exam from another profesor which has multiple choice questions which will NOT show up on the actual exam. You can get an idea of what the test will be like by seeing an old exam, but it will not help you know to select A B C D or E on the actual exam which has completely different questions on similar topics.
I am STUDYING now to take this test a 2nd time. The first time I took it I just wanted to get an idea of how I would score and I ended up with an overall ranking score of 73 without studying at all. If English is your first language and you normally use a dictionary when you read a novel, the analogy/vocab section will be a breeze for you (I got an 86 on that section). I am 37 years old and have not been in school for a number of years, until recently, and I absolutely did crappy on the quantitative section which is full of basic math skills that I forgot long ago (eg. percentages of two 7 digit mostly zero decimal numbers multiplied together, order of operations, numbers to a fractional or decimal power, etc.), by using the outline in this book I know I will do MUCH better this time on the quantitative section. There is a tiny, tiny bit of organic chemistry in the chemistry section but if you haven't taken organic yet don't worry about it (you can guess on those 2 questions). The main thing you need to concern yourself with on the chemistry section is the TIME. You have 35 minutes to answer 65 questions which means you have about 25 seconds to read, decide, and color in the box (go to an art supply store and get a big FAT #2 pencil OR one of those new liquid pencils, yes liquid, so you can make one quick swipe instead of wasting seconds coloring in the multiple choice bubble). I sort of blew it because the proctor announced "5 minutes left" and I had about 15 questions left and I totaly freaked and rushed to finish (which I did) and I finished early, but I shouldn't have panicked because if you are answering the questions at a pace of about 20 to 25 seconds each you should have about 5 minutes left when you have 15 questions to go, so understand your timing for the different sections and don't freak-out like I did. This book does tell you how many questions will be in each section and how much time you have to finish each section. Well this is getting way too long, I hope it helps. Good luck!
