Test Prep 101: Introduction to the PA-CAT

The PA-CAT is a new, three-hour exam administered for pre-PA students to test their knowledge on a variety of subjects like anatomy, physiology, microbiology, statistics, psychology, and more. If you are applying to schools that require the PA-CAT instead of the GRE, come to this webinar to learn about what to expect on the exam. HPA’s test prep specialist will be detailing the basics of the PA-CAT, including when it is offered, how to register, and how to study for the exam.
Our Test Prep 101 series includes Intro to Test Prep sessions, mock exams, and score report sessions. This series will give you a general introduction to your standardized exam (MCAT, GRE, DAT, etc.) and will help you get a sense of what the exams are like and how to prepare.

Who can take the test? What are the prerequisites?

[@ucdhealthprofessionsadvisi1754]

The PA-CAT is for people applying to PA School. At the current time, most PA scools do NOT require the PA-CAT. A person taking the PA-CAT should have already taken A&P, General Biology, General Chemistry, Microbiology, and possibly Organic Chemistry/Biochemistry.
