The Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) is a specialized test that helps to identify qualified applicants to Pharmacy College by measuring the general ability and scientific knowledge necessary for the commencement of education.
 
The Pharmacy College Admission Test consists of 280 multiple-choice items and one Writing topic. Each multiple-choice item consists of a question or incomplete statement followed by four answer choices, only one of which is correct. The answer to each item can be determined independently of the answers to any other item.
The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) endorses the PCAT as the official preferred admissions test for entrance to Pharmacy College. Generally, pharmacy schools require the following courses as a prerequisite for taking the PCAT – General Chemistry with Lab, Organic Chemistry with Lab, General Biology with Lab, Mathematics, Physics, English Composition, and Electives in Humanity or Social Sciences.

The PCAT, first introduced in 1974, is the premier examination for people applying to pharmacy schools. Consisting of approximately 280 multiple-choice questions, plus the new writing component, the PCAT is a product of Harcourt Assessment and endorsed by AACP. The PCAT is used currently by 59 of the nation’s 89 pharmacy colleges. More than 98 percent of applicants register online to take the PCAT at pcatweb.info.


The PCAT is constructed specifically for colleges of pharmacy. The design and content of the PCAT are determined by the types of abilities, aptitudes, and skills deemed essential by colleges of pharmacy for success in the basic pharmacy curriculum, and by research concerning the kinds of tests that most accurately predict success in science oriented courses, such as those included in pharmacy education. Periodic reviews of the test content are conducted with deans, faculty, and administrators from schools of pharmacy to ensure that the test items reflect current pharmacy curriculum requirements.
