Here are my DAT scores from today:
PA 22 (90.9%)
QR 20 (88.3%)
RC 21 (77.1%)
BIO 19 (75.3%)
GC 20 (75.5%)
OC 18 (55.3%)
TS 19 (72.7%)
AA 20 (83.7%)
Breakdown: Overall, I thought the exam was quite difficult and different from what I had practiced. Unfortunately, I believe the majority of my scores reflect that. The questions (especially biology) were not at all straight forward and required interpretation. RC was not a lot of S/D, etc.
Here is what I used to study:
Biology: KBB, Cliff's AP Bio, Chad's Videos, and Alan's Notes.
Gen Chem: KBB, Chad's Videos, DAT Destroyer
Orgo Chem: KBB, Chad's Videos, DAT Destroyer
PAT: CDP 10 Test Version (which I was getting 23-25 on (not reflected in my PAT score))
QR: Math Destroyer, Chad's Videos. (Actually test was about half of the stuff covered in Math destroyer)
RC: Kaplan Course Materials
Overall, the Kaplan course was a complete waste of money. I will be writing them a letter. Chad's and DAT Destroyer were probably the best two resources. I did them all once and ever really caught on to the complexity of the destroyer orgo stuff, which I spent alot of time studying. It is far too difficult for the real exam and you should not waste your time on it. Learn the basics and you will do just fine. If you have any questions, please let me know. I really enjoyed reading the breakdowns of other SDNers, so hopefully I can help someone in return. I'm exhausted, it's been a long, long day!
cGPA: 3.61
sGPA: 3.52
Hopefully these scores are good enough to get me into some schools. What do you think my chances look like? I have over 900 hrs of dental experience, including work as an assistant in and endodontic office. In addition, I have lots of EC involvement. Let me know what you think!!
