Hi every body, I took the DAT august 15th. I just realized that me finishing this section a half hour early is either normal... or very abnormal. I had time to double check every question and to rest for 5 mins before the next section. I figured this info may keep future takers from worrying about the time on that section. I didn't study ALOT for that section tho. I used cliffs notes, feralis notes (read entire thing day of exam to lock it in), kaplan (bio only), and chads videos. My scores are below for that section.

TS 20
bio 21
GC20
OR19

I finished my SNS right on time, but hurriedly. I marked many questions, so I had to go back and try to make several educated guesses. What ate away my time was just being indecisive on which option to choose because both A and B sounded plausible. Luckily, I did pretty good with a TS of 22, but I never want to go through that torment again haha. There was also a moment during my exam where I accidentally pressed something that took me to the end (?) and I meant to press next so I freaked out and had to sift through starting at question #1 and click "next question" like 20 times just to get to the last question I was on before. AND let me tell you, there was a slight lag in between each click so that ate away my time as well and set the heart racing a bit. I took the exam months ago, so I can't quite remember what button I'm talking about, but I just knew I couldn't go straight to, say #25.
 
I had about 20-25 min left, double checked and then forced myself to relax. I changed one or two of my GC answers and sometimes wonder if I could've gotten a 30 or if I would've gotten a 23 if I didn't change it. The world will never know 😉
