Book Reviews of CliffsTestPrep PCAT: 5 Practice Tests
Book Review: Good Practice, Needs Proofreading
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is styled exactly like the real PCAT. If nothing else, it will improve your speed in answering questions if you complete the entire book. I feel the questions in this book were really similar and at some point almost the same as the real PCAT (not for every question of course but, once in a while). This is a good learning tool to help you review the questions you missed and show you areas you need to study. I feel that while the explanations to the answers were brief at times, they were sufficient.
The cons of this book (and why I give it 3 stars) are that it is not proofread as well as I would like it to be. You can drive yourself crazy trying to figure out why you got a question wrong only to find out that you were actually right and the answer was marked incorrectly. I think from a reputable publisher such as this they should have more focus on putting out an accurate and quality product where every single question is correctly worded and every answer is correctly stated. I mean how hard is it to have a group of people like me (recent college graduate) sit down and take these tests and point out mistakes?
In summary DO buy this book if you need to improve your test taking speed however do not depend on it as a reference source and approach the questions with a mindset that the book authors could be incorrect in their answers.
