I better suggest you to go through the post once before getting the resource link because you will get an idea about the book and to whom it for. Before going any further about this post I want to give you a brief introduction bout PCAT – Pharmacy College Admission Test. The Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) is a standardized exam that is used to assess applicants to pharmacy schools. It is required as part of the admissions process by most U.S. pharmacy schools. The test is created and administered by Harcourt Assessment, the oldest commercial test publisher in the nation and a leader in the test development and publishing industry. The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) endorses the PCAT as the official preferred admissions test for entrance into pharmacy school. The questions on the PCAT are basically designed to measure your problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. Three test sections assess your mastery of basic concepts in biology, chemistry, and quantitative ability. A fourth test section tests general, nonscientific word knowledge and usage. A fifth test section requires you to read passages on general topics and answer questions by applying your reasoning skills to what you have read. Finally, a sixth test section requires you to write two essays that demonstrate an effective use of language conventions and the ability to suggest the solution to a problem. This is all about the exam. Now I am going to give a book review and how it is organized. Please be patient and read the full post. I am saying this over and over because at the end of the post you might get positive feeling about the book and the exam, as well.
? In Part I, you’ll learn basic facts about the test, be familiarized with the test format, and learn about the kinds of questions that you’re going to encounter. You’ll also find important tips about pacing and guessing. In addition, you can review some basic test-taking strategies to keep in mind throughout all phases of the exam.
? In Part II, you can take a half-length Diagnostic Test. The questions on this test follow the PCAT format and cover the same topics as the actual exam. When you finish the test, use the results to measure how well prepared you currently are to take the PCAT. You can also use the results to decide which topics to focus on during the course of your review.
? In Parts III through VII, you can review every subject you must know for the PCAT. Parts III through VII present detailed coverage of all tested topics in verbal skills, biology, chemistry, mathematics, and writing. Concise chapter summaries, “Cram Sessions,” at the end of each chapter reiterate key terms and concepts for quick and effective review. Many also offer valuable advice for tackling PCAT questions in the particular topic area. Each science review ends with “On Your Own” practice quizzes that you can use as a fast, efficient way to test your mastery of the subject. Part VII covers the Writing section—the parts of the PCAT most dreaded by many test takers. Here you’ll find numerous sample essays illustrating exactly what the graders are looking for. Read the samples carefully—and learn how you can score high on these difficult PCAT sections.
? In Part VIII, you’ll find a complete sample PCAT for practice. This test presents questions spanning the entire range of subjects and difficulty levels you’re likely to find on the PCAT. Take the test under actual testing conditions: set aside the time you’ll need to take the entire test at one sitting. Screen out distractions, and concentrate on doing your best. Of course, this practice test can provide only an approximation of how well you will do on the actual PCAT. However, if you approach it as you would the real test; it should give you a very good idea of how well you are prepared. After you take the test, read through the explanations for each question, paying special attention to those you answered incorrectly or had to guess on. If necessary, go back and reread the corresponding sections in the subject reviews in this book.
That is all about the review about the exam and book. Hope I given you the information which you are looking for.
