Real
PAT 24 (I expected 30 cuz i knew every question..)
QR 30 (as I expected)
RC 16 (REALLY BAD!! expeted 19~20.)
BIO 21 (really surprised)
GC 29 (never expected)
OC 29 (never expected)
TS 24
AA 25 (99.8%)


I really love my score even though my RC was really CRAPPY.
Except the RC, all other parts are much easier than Kaplan, Topscore, or Achiver.
For ppl whose gonna take exam
here is my practice score

My overall GPA is 3.54
My Science GPA is 3.87
with that ugly 16RC and pretty 25AA,24TS, 24PAT

Can I get into these school, such as Harvard(my favorite)
UCSF(Second)UCLA(Third)Columbia(4th)?
and I am California Resident

wowzers, what did you use to study for Bio, OC, GC?

Edit: Are you foreign? Perhaps of Asian decent? The reason I may be correct is due to the fact that your RC is low, an indication of English being the second language

Actually i never studied for Gchem Ochem. I just knew all the mechanisms and reactions since i took classes.

I only studied for BIO 12hours a day like 2weeks since everybody said Bio is random. I just read kaplan WB twice since i dont like to read.. I bought Schaums and Cliffs too, but I didnt read it cuz it was so boring. Actually I solved like more than 1000 question on Bio, such as Kaplan Online sources, Topscore, DAT Achiever,AP Cliffs and Destroyer.

For me, Solving questions was better for memorizing than just reading

dont believe Destroyer too much, it s only 300 questions
I just hate ppl who lie scores and advertise Destroyer here.
its not worth 180bucks. There are so many mistakes in destroyer.
Kaplan is also too expensive its not worth 1400 dollars.

Yeah. English is my secon language.
STill I scored 19~22 on practice RC.
and I got 16 on real one. 🙁
there was no detail question like practice RC.

if I had score like 24 on RC.. My AA would be even higher like 27,
I just wonder that I scored AA25 with that low RC16.

 

[joonkimdds]

wow...is that even possible???

 

[Andrew324]

Indeed, very impressive

 

[achilles2]

I got a 25 and it says AA is 99.9

Why is yours 99.8???


insane scores tho esp the quant

 

[polarmolar]

They should let you in just for that 30 QR, congrats!!!

 

[klutzy1987]

Good Grief. Helluva job with these scores. It sucks that you bombed the RC I hope that doesnt hold you back from getting into your top choices. English being your second language will help a little but you should call up your schoos and talk to them about you scores and your chances. Harvard esp. is very helpful and curteous.

 

[eldirty]

WOW ... very very nice ... congrats on dropping the bomb on the DAT ... IN THE FACE

 

[Neuro178]

Wow! Amazing job. I already took mine, but I'm curious.. how did you study for math? Were you a math major or something?? 😳 I don't think I've ever seen a QR of 30 on here before!

 

[doc3232]

great job

 

[heatwheat]

Nice scores. I don't think that RC score will hold you back with all your other scores. You should be fine.

Incredible scores,gc,oc,qr and especially PAT (24). I am very impressed with high PAT scores because I was thinking that angle ranking is unbelievably hard on real DAT(I remembered that I guess 8-9 of them since 2-3 choices were almost the same).Furthermore, pattern folding; I totally guessed 2-3 questions(I found them very challenging). I guessed 1 key hole and 1 tfe (they were taffies). Overall PAT was the hardest section on DAT(maybe because of the version I got).You said that u r sure to get 30. I think that I am a pretty stupid person . Moreover your aa is very impressive. I think that u will get into whatever school u want. If I were u, I can try to go to Harvard(of course, this is my choice and I respect urs).Another CA resident did another phenomenal job. I think that I need to be a resident of another state .I agree with SDNers that u will be probably asked for ur low RC, but ur good gpa takes care of it. Good luck with ur application.

Kudos on the score! Really happy for you 🙂

 

[HowAboutDAT]

PAT was my favorite part in DAT. I really love to see 3D pictures from 2D such as the organic chemistry. I usually scored like 27~28 in my crack DAT PAT with much harder angles. Anyway i scored 24~26 on Achiver. anyway the real one was easier than even topscore. like you said, the angle part was toughest part but it was still easier than Crack DAT PAT.. Crack DAT PAT angles go crazy.

great scores!
what did you score on topscore and achiever practice tests?

Here is my practice score
----Achiver ----Topscore--- KAPLAN
----1st 2nd 3rd 1st 2nd 3rd Mid Final 1st 2nd
PAT 24 -25 -26 ------------28- 28 ------30
QR -30 -30 -- --------------24--30 --- --24
RC -18 -19 -21 -19 -20 -20 -19 -21 -----18
BIO 18 -18 -17 -20 -19 -19 -19 -22 -20 -16
GC -28 -28 -25 -25 -- ------17 -23 -20 -21
OC -19 -23- 23 -20 -- ------20 -21- 25 -20
TS -20 -21 -20 -22----------19 -22- 22 -19
AA -21 -22 -- ---------------22 -23 -- 21

**ignore bars , i just put that to line up well.

I missed a lot of PAT QR test cuz I thought I knew everything.
I took Bio exam a lot cuz Bio was my weakest score.
I took all tests on last 8 days. starting with Kaplan 2ndtest.
That low Bio16 made me to study only Bio.

First of all, greattt job!
second, your RC won't hurt you much. My friend did well in everything, except she got a 15 in RC and called schools such as UCLA and they told her not to worry bout it!

 

[Emmie]

I hate to be the first one to drop the bomb, many schools have a min cut off for each sections. For some schools, RC being the most important section. i.e. Case won't even look at a profile that has anything lower than a 18 on RC. Should call up @ schools and see what they say. Havard and UCSF are out of the picture.

 

[Kotik]

very impressive!!!

 

[thethethe]

where do you think these stats can get me:

3.78 ugrad gpa
science gpa around that too
23 TS 22 AA 22 PAT

these stats alone should get me some looks from most of my schools right?

can get you an interview pretty much anywhere....how you interview may determine if you get offers

About Case it's probably true b/c many people got a hold with RC 17 , even one guy with RC 18 , and one international guy with RC 17 got an interview, so you never know. GL And one guy got a Harvard interview with RC 17, I was impressed, it means they at the whole appl package, I guess.
