writing 3/3
my goal was to get over 90.
i was surprised about some things. in verbal, i did oddly well. it was nothing like kaplan course at all. kaplan course = very difficult vocab that made me feel dumb as manure when i was prepping for the test
i did horrible in reading. in kaplan, i got around 70% in reading
and some advice: don't sign up for the $1400 kaplan course unless you are willing to commit. i honestly believe that if you study based on kaplan's regimen, you will get over 90 comp easily. but you have to forgo your life entirely and focus on studying. the course pace is insane, asking students to read 10 chapters of material and then moving onto something else in a matter of days.
i took the course in aug 08 while taking classes, and obviously, my priorities were on my classes. i did not feel ready to take the PCAT so i waited nearly a year to take it (i was hoping to just the prepharm reqs and go onto pharmacy school). i started actually studying for the test around early july 09 while taking summer school and crammed like mad for the last week (i'm talking 8 hours of studying a day in that last week!!). \
essentially, kaplan personnel sucks. my instructor sucked (in retrospect, she might have been good but i didn't study last year so my impression of her is biased). i just studied off the books they provided from aug 2008 and did all the multiple choice tests they had. i think they had 7-8 full length tests for each section which was really helpful.
if i could go back in time, i would NOT pay for the kaplan course. i would probably try to bum off a friend to let me use his/her online access so i could download the sample tests and study on my own which was what i essentially did. i could have saved 1400 (probably given 200 to the friend for lending online access)!!!! if i had that money now, i could have purchased a ps3, an iphone, a decent gaming comp, etc... maybe then i wouldn't be so poor to the point where i am scourging funds to buy a new vid card
