TL;DR - 26 AA, 27 TS, used DATDestroyer and DATBooster What’s up everyone, I just took my DAT on Tuesday and I scored pretty well. I prepared using a combination of DAT Destroyer and DATBooster. My study schedule consisted of: 5 weeks of the Destroyer + 3 weeks of Booster. Went through...

Hey guys! I recently took my DAT and scored pretty well, I just wanted to share my experience studying for the DAT. The main resource I utilized was DATBooster and it was the highest yield resource I've used, I also used DATbootcamp for a bit but do not suggest getting it as I feel like some...

Background: I am a Bio major just now starting my Junior year. I didn't even know when I had to take the DAT so it was good doing some research online, and I kind of panicked when I realized you had to schedule it 2 months in advance. Also, a lot of breakdowns are scary talking about studying...

So I haven't been an sdn user, I just made this account, but I visited the site frequently during the prep process and figured with applications coming up I would get more involved. Sorry if I unintentionally break any site rules, just let me know and I will try to correct any errors. I found...

Alright! So I’m pretty new here and have mostly just been lurking on here, but I really wanted to review this software. Also, in case you need reassurance about what feels like crappy studying.. So basic stats and GPA: DAT: AA 23 TS 22 OC 26 GC 21 BIO 22 RC 30 QR 16 ☹️ PAT 19 GPA...

Alrighty folks just got word of my mcat score and a bit disappointed 508 (128/123/127/130) As you can see everything else is fine but CARS killed me...if I had even scored an average 125 then I would be happy ugh!! I've never scored that low. Is an uneven breakdown a red flag? On AAMC, I scored...

The breakdowns on SDN were super helpful in guiding my own studying, so I figured I would contribute one as well to help out those who are taking the DAT in the future. Just took the DAT today, very excited with my results. Here are my specific scores: PAT: 23 QR: 22 RC: 28 Bio: 26 GC: 30...

Firstly, thank you to my friends and famliy who have supported me in this long long journey and also, thank you to every one who took their time out and responded to my questions on this forum. You guys are amazing!! 3 years ago, I was a dental student in Pakistan and everything was going...

Hello everyone, After approximately 2 months of studying (studying on average for about 8/9 hours a day), I can finally say that I am forever done with this exam! I can’t express how happy I feel about not having to study for this dang exam anymore. Some Stuff About Me (aka not important...

I have been a long time lurker on SDN. Today I took the DAT and scored pretty well so I decided to create an account and post my breakdown. I firmly believe that the Good Lord blessed me with a strengthened mind through this whole process and I want to help anyone else who's willing to work get...

Hey guys! I’ve been on SDN quite a bit recently to get advice on the DAT so I felt like I should give back to the community! :) I took the DAT last Wednesday morning, and here are my reflections! Some background: I come from a fairly strong science background but finished my bio/chem/orgo...

ty for response

I just took my DAT today and did better than I was anticipating with a 21AA. I wanted to make a brief post to encourage people who are still studying and still feeling like they're not hitting the scores that they want to get on the actual test. Obviously this is just my experience, but I...

Hey guys, I just took my DAT this morning! So glad to be done! :soexcited: I have read tons and tons of breakdowns and utilized SDN a lot. I wanted to give my 2 cents to future test takers :) Here are my scores: PAT: 21 QR: 17 :shrug: RC: 20 Bio: 19 Gchem: 24 Ochem: 21 TS: 21 AA: 20 Quick...

I wasn't going to write a breakdown because my scores are average at best (and aint noone wana read that). BUT there are a few things that I wish I would've realized during my studies, and I wanted to share how I suffered from VERY BASIC DAT advice that i've probably read like 20 times. So to...

Before I start… I apologize for how lengthy this post is! I took my test yesterday! I studied for around 10-11 weeks. The first month and a half was inconsistent studying, and I studied between 0-6 hours a day (probably with a mean of 3-4 hours a day). I didn’t crack down until the last month...

Took the DAT this past Friday and was pretty bummed. I was hoping to score way higher but obviously that did not happen. I know my scores aren't bad but I put in so much work and thought I deserved better. (Studied from early June to mid-August) I'm considering a retake. Here are my scores: PAT...

Let’s start this breakdown! Study time period: I graduated at the end of May, and after being with family for a week or so, I started to do research about this DAT thing. And if you take anything away from this post, it is this: do research about all the different study materials and...

Just took the DAT and since I always looked at other sdn'ers breakdowns during my downtime, thought I'd share my own testing experience. Firstly, I want to thank Ari, orgoman (dat destroyer), feralis, and scsc7211. I would not have gotten my scores if it weren't for them. PAT: 20 QR: 19 RC: 21...

Hi guys, I just got back from my exam and thought I'd post this breakdown as quick as possible to get my fresh thoughts posted. My goal was to get an AA of 22 and well I did meet my goal and I'm very happy. I hope this breakdown can give you some insight on what I did to prepare for this exam...

Hello, First off I'd like to extend my thanks to Ari from bootcamp, Dr. Mike from bootcamp and the DAT destroyer people (orgoman). I took the DAT yesterday morning and came up with the following scores: PAT: 22 QR: 19 RC: 18 Biology: 26 GChem: 27 OChem: 23 TS: 25 AA: 23 PAT: This section is a...

Hello again, SDN! As I was typing that title thread just now, I still couldn't believe it. Brace yourself, this will be long. Here are my scores: PAT:22 QR:25 RC:25 Bio:25 GC:26 OC:22 TS:24 AA:25 First, how test day was, then how I prepared! But first, some background: oGPA= 3.88, sGPA=3.99...

Greetings, After a grueling 10 weeks of preparation, I finally took the DAT a few days ago. At the beginning of my studying I was putting in about 4-6 hours of studying a day. In the last month, this study time was increased to a minimum of 8 hours daily. Within the two weeks of my test date, I...

Just took my dat on july 25th and figured I'd post a breakdown. Studied for 2-3 months using destroyer, Crack Pat, bootcamp and chads and Achiever. I scored: 23 aa 22 ts 21 bio 22 orgo 27 gc 22 qr 21 reading 21 pat 3.78 gpa. 3.68 science gpa First, I would like to say I am very happy I am done...

Just finished taking my DAT this week. I studied for a total of 8 weeks. The first four weeks consisted of 6-7 hours of studying a day with breaks on Sundays. The last 4 weeks consisted of 3 hours a night, because of work, with one FL practice test every Sunday. My breakdown is provided below...

Hello Everyone, I just took my DAT this morning and managed to score fairly well. My scores: BIO/GC/OC/RC/QR/PAT/TS/AA 21/ 23/ 23/ 20/ 21/ 22/ 22/ 22 I can honestly say I performed far better than I thought I did once I finished the end survey. First things first. I studied a bit on and off...

Hey guys. Bare with me and my poor grammar as I am still mentally fried from taking this exam this morning. 2 stressful months ended up paying off in the end! First off, huge thanks to @Ari Rezaei for the Study Guide. I followed it exactly for the first month or so, then did what I thought was...

I took the DAT a few days ago. If you're reading this then you are doing exactly what I had done for the past two weeks straight it feels like. And reading about 24AA scores made me feel inadequate and dumb. Hopefully this helps out some more normal folks like myself. Remember that this is just...

Hey guys, I took the DAT a few hours ago and thought I would make a breakdown to give back to the amazing people of SDN. Here it goes! Scores: PAT: 20 QR: 28 RC: 23 Bio: 20 GC: 23 OC: 23 TS: 22 AA: 23 Resources used: DAT Bootcamp, Chad's Videos for GC and OC, Cliff's AP Biology 3rd Edition...

Hi y'all, I took my DAT a little less than a month ago, and since then it's been on my mind how much anxiety DAT breakdowns gave me, and felt that I needed to write a breakdown that gives people who are taking it soon a little more hope than I was able to find. I don't think I did a great job...

Alright guys, so I made an account just to post my DAT breakdown. SDN has been such a great help during my studies that I found it necessary to give back to the community and see if I can help answer any of your questions in this post! Well to start off, I'm 20 and I just finished Sophomore...

I went from: AA 18 TS 18 BIO 14 GC 20 OC 21 PAT 17 RC 22 QR 15 (May 2016) to AA 22 TS 22 BIO 24 GC 20 OC 22 PAT 22 RC 23 QR 20 (June 2017) I took the DAT this morning and I am very satisfied, especially if I take in account how I did last year. I changed my time management and study...

I've been looking forward to doing this :claps: This is really long... sorry in advance... DAT was taken on 6/20/17. Background: - Just finished my junior year of undergrad - Overall GPA 3.91 - Science GPA: 3.93 - Major is Biomedical Diagnostics and...
