DAT done 6/16... a little late

SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)

I finally get to post this.


Actual Test:

PAT- keyholes definitely more based on proportions
hole punching was so easy, a lot easier than CDP
TFE: about the same as CDP
angles- harder than CDP for some reason
pattern folding- more complex folds than CDP

BIO: random, and a couple huh? questions. I didn't feel like I did that well on it when I was taking it, but I guess I did!

GChem: A little disappointed. I was averaging around a 22 on qvault. Don't really know what happened here.

OChem- really easy elementary and basic concepts.

QR- I have always been good at math on standardized tests. Scored a 34 on ACT math. On this, I actually thought I got like a 25, so a little disappointed, but a 22 is great, I'm not complaining.

RC: all search and destroy baby, and actually interesting passages


How I prepared:

Studied for 6 weeks, 8 hours a day.
PAT- used CDP, ranged from an 18-23.

Chemistry- Chad's and Destroyer, enough said.

Bio- AP Cliffs, Kaplan, qVault, and Destroyer

RC- took 5 RC qvault tests, that was it

QR- destroyer, chad's and qVault

Practice tests
The only tests I took were qVault


Overall I was very pleased. I was determined and studied hard. It paid off!

You rocked this test. 27 in orgo! Lol, they should pay you to go to dental school.

Those are awesome scores! Congrats! Why the sad faces, you killed it!

The sad face, only because when I was taking the gen chem part I was kinda of frustrated. It was a lot different than qVault.

So qvault was the same or easier than dat? Also I heard there's more concept questions for the Orgo section than reactions. What were the concept questions like?

QR- i'd say qvault was on par
RC- qvault's passages a little longer. On the real test I just read the passage and did some S and D.
Sciences- a little tougher on qvault than the real thing

As far as ochem, the conceptual questions were all ranking acidity, etc. The reactions were very basic.

Great TS. Congrats on the scores, I'd be happy with that.

Lol shut up. Those are freaking fantastic scores

hey duke 2121- when you say that gen chem was a lot different than qvault, what do you mean? was it harder or more like destroyer?

I had some tough calculation problems that you needed to get an exact number rather than having you set it up.

ahh got it, thanks! and agreed with the others, your scores are greatt!

Nice scores! Congrats!

No, you can't.

excellent scores! congrats. how comparable is qvault orgo to the real thing? i've been getting 20s and 21's for the most part but i feel like i hit two pretty difficult test earlier this week and got a 16 on each.

Here are my ochem qVault scores. I would say qvault is more difficult.

Hi,

Those are amazing scores!! Would you mind posting your other qVault scores as well? I'm studying my remaining week with qVault and it would be great to compare and see where I'm at
