PCAT Strategies - The 7 Tips You Will Need In Order To Ace This Pharmacy Entrance Exam
Posted on July 7, 2008
There is no type of studying system that will guarantee you a perfect mark on the PCAT; however, there are strategies that you can use in order to get a score better on the PCAT. The following strategies are:
1) Do not study from the textbook. Studying from the textbook is an absolute waste of time and the volume that you will need to cover is just too vast. Instead focus on a few selected study guides that I have chosen.
2) The PCAT is not the 100 meter dash. It is a marathon. You must be physically and mentally in shape. How can you do this? Simple. Just get a good night's rest 1 week prior to the exam. You must establish a rhythmic schedule at least 1 week before taking the exam. Study in chunks instead of the regular cram sessions that most students tend to practice.
3) Make sure to bring a sweater or jacket on the day of the exam. It may be hot and humid outside, however, inside may be cold as the North Pole. Just to be safe, make sure you dress in layers.
4) Do not skip any questions. Unlike the SAT, when you answer a question incorrectly you will not be penalized. So make sure that you answer every single question to the best of your abilities
5) Work out of the test booklet first then bubble in you answer sheet later. You will save time and less likely to commit the "miss a bubble agony" when you go back and bubble your answers by using this method.
6) For the Writing sections, make sure that you outline what you are going to write first. Then write the essay. This will not only save you time but also gives you ample opportunity to plan for the things you are going to write about.
7) The day before the PCAT, make sure that you do not study. There is no use in studying for the PCAT the day before the exam. Just go watch a movie or hang out with family or friends. Enjoy your day!
There you have it. The 7 PCAT Strategies that you can use today in order to increase your score. Print it out and share this information with your pre-pharmacy friend.
