Pharmaceutical schools have a special application test called the PCAT (Pharmacy College Admission Test) designed to identify qualified applicants. It measures general academic ability as well as the scientific background necessary for pharmaceutical study. If you feel like you could use an edge in your preparations, Varsity Tutors can help you find a knowledgeable PCAT tutor who can meet your needs.
The PCAT has five timed sections, and you are not permitted to go back to a previous section after finishing another. This makes time management a very important skill throughout the entire test. The first section is a 30-minute Writing portion where you are expected to compose an original essay arguing for a solution to a provided problem. Many students struggle to articulate themselves in writing, but an experienced PCAT tutor can show you how to outline your thoughts so that you have some direction. An outline also ensures that you don't forget any important points you intended to make.
