PAT:22-98.9% 😀
QR:19-85.5%
RC:19-67.3%
Bio:19-91.2%
GC:23-96.4%
OC:20-88.9%
TS:21-96.5%
AA:20-92.6%

Finally over, what a relief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍
Boy was I nervous when the computer was calculating my score after the test, but at least I didnt have to wait too long for my score like other standardized tests.
Now hopefully the interviews will start coming!!!!

Overall Kaplan did a good job preparing me for the test even in Bio. The PAT section on real DAT seemed more diffucult than Kaplans exams even though 22 was my highest PAT score including practice tests 👍 .QR and RC pretty comparable to Kaplans. Science sections pretty comparable in level of diffuculty to Kaplans. Overall the level of diffuculty on the real DAT might of been slightly harder, but they must grade it easier as the 20 overall score was higher than any practice test.
For any future DAT takers I really suggest taking many practice exams with the explained answers, because one of the easiest ways to pick up your score is eliminating careless mistakes, and without going over your mistakes its hard to learn from them. Also this was a good way for me to pick up new info and finally on the real test it wont be the the first time you have to sit through a 4:30 hour test but rather youll be used to it as well as being comfortable withthe test format

Are you sure about that Bio percentile? My 20 only put me in the 90 percentile and I took it in mid-September.

Congratulations on your score! Not bad!

Greaaaaaaat job. I'll be taking mine in march. for following cycle. What's scaring me is that your saying the kaplan tests are the same as the real test. I thought those are pretty tougher on kaplan but not the real thing. And then your saying overal the real DAT is harder than Kaplan. Crap. How long did you study. Did you only use kaplan materials.
Thanks

What I mean is the diffuculty level is in the ball park with Kaplans practice exams(just my experience), but the real exam seems to be graded on an easier scale resulting in slightly higher scores. My overall score was higher on the real DAT than any of the practice ones I took from KAplans. As far as studying, I mostly used Kaplans(I took their online course) in addition to using textbooks and notes from my classes. I also got schaums for bio but didnt use it that much. Don't freak out if you put in the time to study you should be fine. The DAT is doable. Good Luck!
