Tips & Warnings
Register early, as test centers have limited seating and seats are filled on a first come, first served basis.
Double-check all registration deadlines on the PCAT website.
If you do not bring your Admission Ticket and two forms of valid identification to the PCAT test center, you will not be able to take the PCAT and fees will not be refunded.
If the name on your Admission Ticket does not exactly match the names on your two forms of identification, you will not be able to take the PCAT.
