I was looking at other member's post and was wondering why the percent varies with the actual score. For example, Biology I got a 82.4% and that is equal to 19, but another person got 78.6% and that was still equal to 19. And PAT I got a 98.5% and the other person got a 93.1% but we still got the same scores. I am just a little curious. Any ideas? Thanks. Also, thank you SDNers for all the help and guidance!

Reading comp was my weakest section on the dat. I was scoring around 17 and 18s. Utes was able to give me an advice. I tried it and it increased my score up to 21 on the DAT achiever and 20s on the topscore. The advice was to just read the question and look for the answers. My reading topics were magnesium, cell, and herbs.

Biology, I was hoping that they had the sea urchin question but nope. I had some plant questions, which I heard was never on the dat but yeah.

I was hoping to get all over twenties. It wouldve made my day super awesome, but hey I am cool with these scores. Im just proud of my reading comp score, even though bio and math went down.

I used topscore, ada sample exams, kaplan, dat achiever (2 exams) after hearing that dat achiever was way harder I decided to spend my time elsewhere like on the reading comp section of the 3rd exam and on topscore.
 
good job 🙂

I think the % is different because of two reasons:
- they have different versions of exams
- their is the range for each score. (for example, you can score 19 on PAT by doing 65 to 69 questions correct) If you do 69 correct and someone does 65 correct, then your score will be same as the other person but your % will be higher.

good luck with the interviews 👍
 
Well done ieutront.
You should have no problem to get interviews and acceptance letters. Don't worry too much not getting all 20's accross the board, your scores are well above average.
