ok so I took the DAT earlier today. I cant believe that I am actually done.
Here are my scores:
PA 21---92.2
QR 17---65.7 😱
RC 22---90.3
BIO 24---98.7
GC 23---95.0
OC 30---100 😎
TS 25---99.6
AA 23---98.3

Science GPA 3.65
Over all GPA 3.64

I studied for 8 weeks averaging 7 hrs a day and took every sunday off. I went over princeton review study matterials twice and did gchem and QR from destroyer.
I also took the topscore test 5 days before the exam and took the last two days off.
BIo: was just really random and its a good idea to learn as much as you can on every topic mentioned on ADA guide
G Chem: was really simple. I dont even know what I got wrong
O chem: was also very basic and simple.
PAT: this was the lowest PAT score I ever got.🙁 GET CDP
I struggled w the qr section, mainly because I was very tired by the time I got to that section and couldnt even make a simple multiplication in my head.
over all its not too complicated and pretty doable. My topscore scores were:
Test #: 1 2 3
Bio 18 18 18
GC 19 19 23
OC 19 19 21
PA 22 22 22
RC 17 20 20
QR 17 20 20

It feels good to be done.

Are you from cali? QR is by far the least important section. 17 should be fine.

Yeah I live here in LA... You are right I was just reading their website and they say they mostly care about PAT other than science. Thank god. Now I can try to actually relax a little bit

I'd personally say you have a great chance. Brush up your interview skills and learn a bunch about the school cause that interview will be coming up shortly my friend. Best of luck :luck:

Wow great scores. Did you not have CDP? and for the Qr did you use math destroyer? How did you study for the Ochem and Gchem? Would you think going through destroyer for all the questions and knowing how to do them along with the Ochem road maps would help a lot? Sorry for the questions!

yes I did use CDP. For Qr I went over princeton review books and did the entire Destroyer( I only had 4 tests).
With O chem I was lucky to be just good at it. I tutored Ochem for my school's Learning resources center and was an SI leader for it. I just went over the Princeton review did about 50 Qs on destroyer but I felt like it was having a negetive affect because it had way too much info and was killing my confidence. G-chem I went over princeton review's books and made good notes for myself and kept reviewing them. I also did all the destroyer qs.

I would go through all Gchem and math qs on destroyer. O chem and bio are very much detailed oriented and discouraging.

hello,

you said the chems were simple - what materials would you suggest using for these (which are similar to actual exam)?

thanks

Topscore was almost identical to the actual test. Use destroyer as well

I did, I did. But Columbia is expensive 😛

We will see how much scholarship I get.. I will most likely go to the cheapest school 🙂

Especially because I think UCLA is better than Columbia in terms of their dental education.
