5.0 out of 5 stars
I did well with this book,
By
This review is from: PCAT Success 2005, 8th edition (Arco Master the PCAT) (Paperback)
Along with my biology textbook/cd from my freshman year, this was my primary study guide (I was after my junior year of college as a chem major). The intro, as someone else mentioned is kind of worthless. If you're far along enough to be taking the PCAT, you probably know a fair amount about pharmacy practice and how pharmacy school is structured. However, I thought the test questions paralleled what I saw on the test very nicely. I scored in the 92nd percentile overall. Practice a little bit everyday to get your fundamentals down and hopefully you'll do well too!
By the way, the PCAT has a writing section now, and I don't think this book covers it. The question is seems to be something rediculously general ans science related. I'm not sure a lot of schools really evalute your PCAT essay score so I wouldnt fret a whole lot.

Good for practice, bad for content review,
By J. D. "Student" (State College, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PCAT Success 2005, 8th edition (Arco Master the PCAT) (Paperback)
This book is ok if you only need more practice questions to work on. The book doesn't provide any review of the test topics...no review..at all. Instead, each section has a brief outline that states what you should already know before taking the practice questions. If you need a review for any of the topics, you will need to find another book.
The practice questions include 100 verbal, 100 quantitative, 75 biology, 100 chemistry, and 45 reading comprehension questions. There is also a practice test at the end. There are "explanations" for each question, but they are much too brief to be helpful, especially for verbal. The first 45 pages cover non-test related topics about preparing for pharmacy as a career & preparing for the schooling. At the very end of the book is a list of accredited pharmacy colleges, which is helpful if you are at a loss of where to apply. In short, it would be a helpful book if you just want a little more practice, but that's about it.
