I think I googled Trig Chart or something like that and found a site that had free pdf downloads of Trig function and Calc properties charts. I paid for the 2 electronic practice tests on the Pearson site and studied out of the Kaplan book. My only gripe is that the Kaplan book didn't prepare me at all for the Bio portion.

Why can't you study and review them simultaneously? Like study bio for 40 min, read a passage, then review a couple quant and chemistry concepts? imo, bio > va = rc > chem = quant for you.

I took the PCAT in August of this year. The organic chemistry was few and not too difficult. If I remember correctly, most of what was covered dealt with reagents in reactions. All I used for the chemistry section was my Kaplan PCAT book, so I guess the Kaplan DAT book will suffice for you.

The composite score does not include the writing prompt. One of the writing prompts is tossed out and never even looked at, as it is experimental.

I didn't think that math portion was that bad. Just know how to do derivatives and i think you should be fine. It really similar to SAT math, from what i remember.

Yes, I don't remember where it is off-hand. I think I remember being it on the reverse of the answer sheet. But yes, you have a no-score option which you can elect to use at any time until you turn it in I believe.

I've taken the SAT, PCAT, and GRE. PCAT vocabulary is a breeze compared to GRE vocabulary, so don't waste your time with GRE words. If you already have a decent grasp of vocab, you should instead spend some time learning a few word roots to help you figure out unfamiliar words. If you're still unsure, studying a few SAT words might help.
