So, I am happy with my scores, but expected to do better. 😕

I am especially embarrassed about my reading comp score. My second passage was pretty much fact after fact after comparison after fact. (I think it was 23 paragraphs) The descriptive words were being used over and over describing different things, which made it really hard to just look for key words. Then I ran out of time on the last passage and guessed on like 5 at the end.

The math: whatever... I like calculators

PAT:
I had one that didn't display right, o well. Not about to take the test again. (my girlfriend would chop my wiener off) I would say that it is a little harder than Kaplan. The TFE was easier but the angles and hole punching are a little more difficult. I was getting between 21 and 25 on Kaplan.

The sciences:
Going in the exam I felt most comfortable with OC and ended up getting the lowest score on it. I really don't know why. I must have zigged when I should have zagged. The Biology was tough. It was just really random. But, I guess that is what you get when you take a test on the “study of life”. GC was like the same as destroyer.


I used Destroyer and Kaplan.

After AADSAS my GPA’s are both 3.2.
I am wondering what your thoughts are. My application is complete and this was the last thing I was waiting on. Should I be excepting interviews or not?

I have very similar scores to you and I have 2 interviews so far. I think that you faired pretty consistently across the board and the 16 on QR isn't too much of an outlier compared to what many people are getting. I would think that you'll hear back from some schools. Congrats on your Bio!

Not bad scores... I think I had that same RC passage, it was 23 paragraphs and term after term.. sucked so bad.

Skiing in Nevada, you go to UNR too?

Yeah I took it on the Aug 24th had that 23 paragraph one too...spent way to much time on it. Got a 17. Denticus, when did you apply and where did you apply? get interviews at already? (if you don't mind me asking)

UNR, yup. sure do.

I submitted my AADSAS May 30th but because I hadn't taken my DAT until the 5th of July, my application wasn't technically complete until around the 19th of July. Here are the list of schools I applied to. So far I've only interviewed with Baylor and I have another interview with UNLV scheduled on the 4th of October. Got rejected from Case pretty quickly though. The rest of my stats are on predents. Good luck!

Don't worry about it. you'll definitely get some interviews, so just enjoy the time off.

nice scores 🙂
