in your opinion, at what academic average on the DAT should one be able to claim to have aced the test?

minimum 30. anything less indicates that you should just give up.

Depends on your definition of "aced"..

26AA is considered ~ 100% percentile

I'd say 26AA or higher

 

[Weakfart]

if 93% is an A then 27.9 would be an A. So 28!

 

[FeralisExtremum]

Whatever score I got!

(ravioli ravioli give me the formuoli) I agree with him

if 93% is an A then 27.9 would be an A. So 28!

People who don't pick "27 AA" are just in denial and cannot live with their substandard scores.

24AA.. no question about it! 😀

You got a 23 though, dummy.

Hi, my name is BrazilianRider, and I have a substandard DAT score.

Well, technically 30's across the board, but I'd say anything that is good enough to get you accepted 😆.

Well the difference b/w a 30 and a 26 can sometimes be getting just 1 or 2 questions wrong. And to get an "A" in a class exam you usually need to be 92% correct overall.

IMO, 22AA is like an "A-", 23-25AA is "A" and 26+AA is "A+" if that existed. At 23AA, you basically got 2-4 questions wrong on each section. So I think 23 and up counts as having aced the DAT.

Aww @Blake1e , stop you're making me blush.

 

[tombradyschin]

haha 86th percentile is like AA20, so 21 would be over 90. and anyone who tells you that you need over a 23 on this website is full of s*** and loves to just brag about themselves

Strictly speaking, since it does not involve a letter grade, golf or tennis there is no such thing as acing the DAT.

@doc toothache, if I go play golf with you and ace a shot will you hire me out of dental school?

 

[gsquared]

pretty sure it doesn't even count unless you get over a 28

 

[deleted659902]

23, it is!

 

[deleted659902]

22, it is!

I guess I'll try and get the lowest score possible. You know. Diversity and whatnot.
