As part of the plan to retire the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) during the 2023-2024 admissions cycle, this email serves as a reminder that the final PCAT test administration will be offered January 3 to 9, 2024.
No PCAT testing dates will be offered during the 2024–2025 admissions cycle or beyond. All test-takers may continue to request Official Transcripts and Personal Score Reports through the Pearson website until February 2026. Information regarding the PCAT can be found on the Pearson, PharmCAS, and AACP websites.
AACP first established the PCAT Advisory Committee to work with The Psychological Corporation (now Pearson) to develop a norm-referenced standardized test in 1973. The PCAT was first administered for admissions purposes in 1974. Current and past members of the PCAT Advisory Committee were instrumental in advocating for these changes. We greatly appreciate their outstanding leadership, dedication, and insights over the years. Both organizations are grateful for our long-standing and successful partnership.
If you have additional questions, please contact PCAT Customer Relations at Scoring.Services@Pearson.com or AACP staff at cas@aacp.org.
