What is on the PCAT?
The Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) is a computer-based standardized multiple-choice graduate entrance exam used across the United States and Canada for entrance to a pharmacy college. The PCAT measures a student’s scientific aptitude, analytical expertise, and critical thinking skills, which are essential to pharmacy schools. The PCAT is not a requirement in order to apply to a pharmacy school; however, choosing to take this exam, and mastering it, can give students an enormous advantage when applying for admission.
The first section of the PCAT is the Writing Subtest, in which students need to comprise a cohesive essay in 30 minutes. The writing prompt will present a certain problem and students need to propose the best solution. These problems are based on either health issues (relating to medicine, fitness, drugs, prevention, medications, or therapies), scientific issues (relating to research, theories, controversies, or education), or social, cultural, or political issues (relating to behaviors, beliefs, laws, or policies).
Students need to master
The second section of the PCAT is the Biological Processes Subtest, in which students need to answer 48 multiple-choice questions in 45 minutes. Students will need to use their knowledge of Biology (topics include cell and molecular biology, genetics, and health), Microbiology, Anatomy, and Physiology in order to answer the given questions correctly.
The third section of the PCAT is the Chemical Processes Subtest, in which students need to answer 48 multiple-choice questions in 45 minutes. In this section, students need to use their mastery of Biochemistry, General Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry to answer questions correctly that
The fourth section of the PCAT is the Critical Reasoning Subtest, in which students need to answer 48 multiple-choice questions in 50 minutes. Students will be given a text passage that may address either historical or contemporary cultural, ethical, political, social, or technical concerns pertaining to the natural or social sciences, or humanities discipline. Students must use their proficient critical thinking and reasoning skills to recognize, analyze, and evaluate certain biases, arguments, or conclusions pertaining to the certain passages to answer these questions correctly.
Students who perform in the 90th percentile or better on the DAT generally receive a score of 430 or higher.

The fifth section on the PCAT is the Quantitative Reasoning Subtest, in which students need to complete 48 questions in 50 minutes. For this section, students need to use their proficient knowledge of Elementary Math, Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus, and Statistics to answer questions correctly pertaining to various topics in mathematics, including, but not limited to, fractions, quadratics, vectors, derivatives, integrals, and probability. For this section, a calculator will be provided for students.
Students will be graded on their correct answers, as there is no penalty for guessing on the PCAT. Students will receive their official score report five weeks after they have taken the exam. This score report is composed of five individual scale scores ranging from 200-600, with accompanying percentiles. The composite score, or overall score, is the average of the five scaled scores. The Writing Subtest is scored differently, as it is scaled from 0-6. The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) has released an official score report sample for students to become familiar with what the scoring looks like.

Who benefits from PCAT tutoring?
Students sometimes become stressed and intimidated when attempting to prepare for the PCAT on their own. Some students may not be able to self-identify their academic obstacles and knowledge gaps that would be tested on the PCAT. This may be due to the entrance exam’s vast amount of preparatory material, from mastery skills needed for reading comprehension to proficient knowledge of Organic Chemistry.
In an attempt to ameliorate this issue, students go to general preparatory resources, such as study guides, and ultimately realize that these resources do not provide the constructive feedback and personal guidance that

Learning principles that we stand by
Each student has a unique learning style
We understand that everyone learns differently. That's why we tailor our lessons to meet the specific needs of each individual student.
Learn how to think, not what to think
During their academic career, students may fall into the habit of memorizing facts as their primary method of learning. However, this does not allow students to think for themselves. Instead, we constantly challenge our students in a way that requires them to think and formulate their own decisions, leading to intellectual growth.
Nothing great is achieved without commitment
Mastery does not happen overnight. It requires hard work, perseverance, and a commitment to lifelong learning. We help our students maintain their commitment throughout their academic journey.
Grades are the result, not the goal
We focus on something more important than just getting a certain grade on a transcript or report card. Our goal is to provide our students with an interdisciplinary understanding that will help them perform better both in and out of the classroom.
