Is it just me or is anyone else out there got really hard bio questions? I had at least 8 questions about new research and latest technologies -- you know, the ones on discovery channel/tv. Neither Kaplan book nor my 4 years of undergrad have even skimmed through those topics -- and i took 300- upper 400 level Bio classes. :mad:

THEN there was RC ( frap and ethics ) I was getting 20's on Achiever then suddenly BOOOM -- 16 on RC! :(

I definitely think I got the harder version of the test. I'm venting, but I want to know if anyone else had the same test as I did.

PS. I did OK overall and have an interview from one school right now - but thats because I completed my secondaries late in August.

Yeah it totally sucks... But you still did ok. You'll probably be fine. I had the FRAP too and I know I could have done better. I am actually scheduled to retake the DAT in October but I am still getting interviews so dont worry you will too

i think these experimental biology questions just require a little more reasoning and time. definitely not easy but not impossible either.
