Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a disorder characterized by chronic respiratory tract infections, abnormally positioned internal organs, and the inability to have children (infertility). The signs and symptoms of this condition are caused by abnormal cilia and flagella.
Apart from the writing sections, all the five sections contain a total of 48 questions. Out of these 48 questions, 40 contribute towards the score in PCAT, while the remaining 8 questions are experimental questions that are not scored. Out of the two writing sections, one section is for experimentation.
The PCAT test is scored in a range of 100-300, with the average person scoring around 200. Of course, each school sets its own standards for a minimally acceptable score, and because of the competitive nature of pharmacy school admissions, some require scores in the 80th percentile and higher.
