DAT score 2nd time.

PAT: 20
QR: 20
RC: 18
BIO: 17 😕
GC: 20
OC: 16 :scared:
TS: 17 😡
AA: 18

sGPA: 3.53 oGPA: 3.64
Work as dental assistant for pediatric dentists (part-time) for last couple years.

Feeling very crappy, I spent majority of the time on BIO and OC (~ 70%).
I have no clue how I drop from 19 to 16 in OC.
What are my options now?

Thank you for your time.

Your scores aren't horrible, but they aren't great either. You are borderline average with one score below a cutoff of 17 for some schools. If you are applying now give it a shot (If you have a good GPA and ECs). If you don't have a stellar GPA or ECs, then I would plan on retaking while watching Chad's videos if you haven't already and do Destroyer. Use Bootcamp/Datqvault for practice tests and use 2009/2007 ADA practice DATs a week or so before your retake. You still have hope...maybe share your study habits and I can help out.

I took the DAT today and got destroyed in organic as well. If we had the same math test, did you want to strangle people after getting the cat question?
