Customer Rating:
Summary: Don't waste your time nor money
Comment: The answer keys are often wrong. Sometimes simply B instead of C, but several math errors where the correct answer they have listed is completely wrong. This book will underprepare you for the real PCAT. Avoid at all costs
Customer Rating:
Summary: Do NOT purchase this book
Comment: This book appears to have been written by a 2nd grader. SO many typos, so many contradictions--and the reading comprehension, well let's just say that just about every question has two possible answers, ambiguous and opinionated. The typos alone make this book not worth purchasing. I'm going to have to buy a different book--do NOT under any circumstance buy this book--by the way, it's not really five exams--many of the same questions show up again and again throughout.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great review
Comment: Great general review for the PCAT experience. Just plug through all five exams and use them as a means to identify weak areas. NOT a review or reference book. Few errors/typos stop this from being a 5.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good PCAT prep
Comment: This book provides a comprehensive review of everything you need to know on the PCAT but cannot be used alone. For more detailed help, supplement with an MCAT prep book because the information is pretty much the same on the PCAT.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good practice
Comment: Decent practice test questions for math, biological, & orgo & general chemistry. However, the verbal analogies/sentence completions are too easy, and the reading comprehension section depends primarily on outside knowledge and assumptions, rather than actual reading of passages. E.g., a question asked about the bioethical scientist's view on stem cell research. The direct statement from the passage states that the bioethical scientists want more stringent laws regarding the research, without explaining why they advocated legal regulations. However, the correct answer given by Cliffs is that the scientists debate whether people have the right to play God...Nowhere in the passage was God/religion ever mentioned.
Also, some answers to chemistry and math questions provided wrong letter choices, even though explanations were correct. There are also typos in the questions and answers.
