The sample questions in this software are basically the same type of questions you will encounter in the real test, but they are just a little bit harder. Therefore, it does give you the practice you need before the real PCAT test. If you could do all or most of the problems correctly in the software, you should be able to do fine in the real test. However, this software does not come with answer explanations at all, which I think is an essential part of a good test preparation. Remember, in the real PCAT test, you only have 35 seconds in average to answer each biology and chemistry question. If you do all the calculations in chemistry part, you will never be able to finish it within such a short time. Therefore, you need to know the shortcuts to find the correct answers very quickly. A good PCAT preparation book or software is supposed to serve this purpose by teaching you all these smarter ways to do the problems; this software, however, obviously fails to do so. I would recommend Kaplan PCAT Prep instead of this one.

This review is from: Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) Sample Tests and Guide, TopScore Pro for the PCAT (CD-ROM)

Loved this review! only down fall was that it was on the computer when the original was on paper and it doesn't contain explainations at all. However, it WILL prepare you for the PCAT. I studied off and on for it and scored in top 10%. However, I did attend an MCAT review course a few months prior. These questions were harder than the real pcat but definietly felt prepared. Uesd this in conjunction with Peterson's Pcat success which gives explainations but easier questions. honestly use this, petersons, and try to get a really hard review course (such as an MCAT), and you'll do fine. Also you only get three tests and same questions on each test or section you do until you change the test.

I just received my copy about an hour ago. Installed and tried out a couple of exams. There is no explanation for answers, no learning mode, etc. Little user control over exam administration. Has not been updated for new version of the PCAT. If you don't care about why an answer is correct or not, go to the official PCAT website and use their practice exam. At least the questions on the PCAT website are more complex.
