Mini Breakdown -
RC - I got frapped, but I am happy with the score I got. I was very scared after the posts on here, but I feel I did well. Frap was a certain section that got a lot of heat on SDN because of the intense material and the difficulty of the questions. In prep like all of the other sections I utilized kaplan paired with the things that worked well for me on practice tests in order to get my highest scores.
BIO - This section covered some unknown material, but I feel like I did well for what the material covered. There was a pretty long string (4-5 questions) straight all about taxonomy, but I am sure this kind of stuff varries from test to test. Kaplan was effective in getting me prepared for this section, I just feel like I would have done more before test day.
OC - Wasn't my best subject in college, but I think that I performed well considering this circumstance. The kaplan books and in class did a good job as far as preparation, but again i wish i would have put more personal effort into raising my scores. I was satisfied with scoreing in the low twenties because I figured that was good enough. I wish that I had visited SDN before my test so I could have used some of the 27's on here as motivation!
GC - Haven't had this in 3 years so I am happy with the score. Some unknown material on here, but I feel like I did well for the study coverage I had. The main thing with the natural sciences section is that there is soo much material to cover, and so little appears on test day. I feel like you could study everything and still get lower scores due to what you focused on while studying. That said, just do as much as you can because the more that you put in the more you will get out.
PAT - This was what I thought to be the hardest section on the DAT, but one of my best. I think the extra reviewing helped. This section was easy to review and study because I thought it was fun. It is just like doing a crossword puzzle or something like that, so I think that if you look at PAT that way then it makes it a lot more fun.
QR - I just flat ran out of time. Poor time management, so I feel this score looks horrible next to all of the others
What will colleges think when they see such a large gap in scores?
I would like to be happy with my DAT performance, but I have been soo upset over the QR score as math is one of my better subjects
I prepared had, but I thought QR would be easier, due to the fact that I have performed well in all of my math classes, and I knew how to do all of the problems on certain practice tests.
