Hey all, this is a quick question to those who already took the DAT about just the setup of the sciences section of the real DAT test.

I just took a full length kaplan practice test and it lets you review marked/skipped items at the end of each section. Like for example, in bio, after 1-40, a mark/review items screen pops up and you can choose to move on to the g chem section. Now once I finished all of bio, g chem, and o chem, it doesnt let you review all questions in the entire 100. Sometimes I finish with about 10-15 minutes left and want to go back to bio at times to just double check again. Is the test the same thing where it only lets you review that particular section one by one and not at the very end?

Just wondering if its the same thing because I think topscore lets you review everything: all 100 questions at the very end.
 
Yea you are allowed to mark and review like kaplan, But the major difference is that on the real DAT you cannot review in the middle of the section you have to wait to complete the section and then review, whereas on the kaplan practice exams you can review in the middle of the section. Actually i just relooked at you post and you mentioned that it let you review the bio section after the first 40 questions, its definitely not like that on the DAT, that weird my kaplan practice tests never prompted me to review after bio?
 
Can you review any of the natural sciences sections after you have completed the entire science section, or is it that once you move past bio for example you cannot go back to it after finishing orgo (or the entire natural sciences section)?
 
Theres a website that explains it all in detail if i had the link i woulda post it, but i dont....but pretty much after you done with the whole Natural science section(bio,gchem,ochem) u get to review marked qestions. The the same thing with all the sections, after the all sections of PAT you go back and review, then you get a break....come back, start RC after all three passages then you review, and same for QR.
 
ha i dont think i answered your question lol. yea after your done with All the sciences you can still go back to bio...
 
ah ok i hope so about being able to go back to bio at the very end. I just did the online practice exams with kaplan and they wouldnt let me review back to bio or g chem after finishing o chem. There was a review marked section at the end of each science section though. I prefer reviewing at the very end of all 100 because sometimes you get some insight to a previous answer sometimes.
