The PCAT is administered in January, July, and September via a computer-based format on a first-come, first-served basis. Plan to register for the PCAT by the recommended “register and schedule by” dates suggested by Pearson to receive your preferred testing date, time, and location.
The PCAT measures:

| Studying for the PCAT |
Note: UVU does not endorse or recommend specific PCAT preparation courses or materials. Research potential study methods and determine which ones fit your needs most appropriately.
The PCAT is a challenging exam that merits careful preparation. Successful test takers will generally complete most of their Pharmacy pre-requisite courses before taking the PCAT. Your Pre-Health counselor will assist you in planning out your pre-requisite courses and how they correspond to the date you will select to take the PCAT. Plan to study for the PCAT for several weeks in the way that fits your budget, schedule, and learning style best.
