AA: 21

PAT: I was scoring 21-22 on CDP, so but the actual test was a lot harder, so I'm a little worried about this one.

QR: Probably didn't even get to work at 8-10 questions and straight guessed on those, so I'm not too surprised by the score, but also not sure if schools will red flag this score.

BIO: I have a strong biology background, so I kind of focused on GC and OC more and blew this off. My TS score is a 20, so maybe it will take some pressure off this bio section?

Any suggestions in general/for schools? I'd be happy to answer questions as well!

I have yet to apply, but from what I've read on these forums and seen on the websites of various dental schools, these scores are perfectly fine. I just took my test today and I agree that the PAT was OUTRAGEOUS. I wouldn't stress out about these scores! Especially if your GPA is good, they're great.

If your gpa is high enough then you probably wont need a retake.

GPA is about average--3.5.

Your scores are perfectly fine, your lowest score is in QR which is generally considered the least important section. Your AA and TS are both 20+ and your PAT is solid as well. I wouldn't consider a retake at all if I were you, just apply broadly and you'll be fine.
