Hi SDN Community,
I CANNNNNTTTT BELIEVEE I AM FINALLY POSTING MY SCORES ON HERE!!!
I have just been a long time lurker but never really posted anything. However I TOOK MY DAT yesterday and boy am I relieved.
PAT: 20 (81%)
QR: 18 (86.6%) =/
RC : 20 ( 78.5%)
Bio: 20 (91.8%)
GChem:23 (97.3%)
OChem: 21 (89.7&)
Total Science: 21 (96.2%)
Academic Avg: 20 ( 93.4%)
My score isnt as great as some of the more awesomesauce people on here but I am happy with what I got because it required some blood, sweat and tears.
I am a Business Major but I have completed all of my prerequisites.
Overall GPA: 3.65 and Science GPA approx: 3.45
What chances do you guys think I have??
Thank you SDN community for all of the guidance you have provided.
If anyone would like to ask me anything in more detail I would be more than happy to help.
TOTAL TIME of consistent 10-12 hours a day for 3 weeks. NO DAYS OFF.
Breakdown:
PAT : Materials CDP, CDP and CDP
The first time I did CDP I cried because I got a 16. I was not good AT ALL.I didnt even have the time to finish. But I just kept practicing like an animal.I started getting 20s and 21s Finally after the 5th test. SO the moral of the story is ..DONT GIVE UP!!!
After I read this post my TFE increased drasticallly! THANKS SAMA951.

Actual DAT PAT: Keyholes, TFE and Angles were the same difficulty as CDP. But the Patterns were so so difficult. The shapes were so irregular. Cubes were easier because there were NO ILLUSIONS. =)
QR: I watched Chads videos all in one day and took the supplementary quizzes. But when I took my first Math Destroyer test it took me 2 hours!!! I was soo frustrated that I just gave up. Finally, I came to my senses and did about 5 tests from that book.
Actual DAT QR: wth?! I dont know how anyone can finish that entire test fully within the given time. My strategy was to answer all of the algebra questions. Clearly that is my lowest score (18) so dont listen to me. haha.
RC Topscore and Kaplan book tests
Topscore was not very indicative of the actual DAT. That is the only thing I practiced timed. THANK GOD I DID NOT DO SEARCH AND DESTROY. From reading various posts, I realized that the actual DAT was more tone and critical thinking. So, on the actual DAT I started reading the passage and answered the questions as they came. English is my second language and I was able to finish reading the passages in time so YOU CAN TOO!!!!

I wish I read Cliffs but I didnt have enough time.
I love Bio so I had fun studying it. However, I HATE TAXONOMY.
Actual DAT: I got really lucky in the sense that there was barely any taxonomy.

Gen Chem: Chad + DAT Destroyer
I am not very good at Gen Chem so I spent allot of time studying it! I literally memorized his videos and did DAT destroyer twice for it.
ACTUAL DAT: Not allot of calculation which I was soo happy about. Allot of it was concepts.
Orgo Chem: Same prep as Gen chem.
I also did all of the road maps 2 days before the tests without looking.
Actual DAT Orgo: Allot of Free radical bromination and multiple step reactions.
FULL LENGTHS: Topscore and OAT Sample test.
Motivation during my weak moments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkltJT6PQ-g
I have been very humbled by my experience. It was tough but I am glad to be done!!!! ready for summatime!!!
