Hi, I am planning on taking the DAT on 7/20. I forgot the detailed break down for the achiever scores, but the AAs for test 1-3 were 16, 15, 17, which were taken about a month ago. 🙁🙁🙁

So far, I took 2 topscore exams in the past 2 weeks...
TS 1 2
Bio 20 19
GC 18 19
OC 19 17 🙁
RC 18 20
QR 21 20
PA 20 22
TS 19 19
AA 19 19

I am freaking out since my score has not improved much. I went over the DAT destroyer twice, read Cliff AP Bio and Kaplan blue book. I don't know how to get to the 20+. My exam is in exactly 10 days, should I postpone it? Is there anything else I can do to improve my score? (I'm going to take the 3rd topscore next week.) Is the paid sample DAT from the ADA any good? It seems the ordering and delivering is going to take some time from other posts... PLEASE HELP!!! 😕😕😕 And Thank you in advance!

My cumulative GPA is 3.65, science 3.7, chem major 3.85.

I would postpone if it you arent ready, but looking at your topscore test results I think your ready. Topscore is pretty accurate and with your gpa u should only need a 19 to get in. so a 19 on topscore would equal +/- 2 and my guess would be its 1/2+ 🙂

If your not ready don't take it, if you do bad, you'll have to wait 3 months so it's best to be prepared before going in.

If you don't feel ready, then don't take it. Though I'd also caution against putting it off just for the sake of doing so, if that makes sense. Looking at your Topscore scores, you seem to be ready (judging by what other people on the site have said), so... it's really up to you. Good luck!

I think you should be ready to go. I personally was in your same shoes. Make sure you run through OC at least once more and do the road maps daily!

Thank you for the suggestion. Although I know it is essential to go over the road maps frequently, but having someone actually telling me that is a really a good call!🙂

Yea, I was thinking about the same. Waiting for 3 months means to go through the unbearable torture again, and I just can't even imagine that! As you can tell, I'm pretty much burnout about studying...
