Materials:
KBB- I used this for bio before anything. I liked it. It gave me a great foundtaion of bio. I didnt use that back whatsoever. I solely used it for biology notes.
Bangitys notes- God, these were a life saver. Use these if you can. I think I would have goten a 15 without it.
Chads- Only used it for gen chem. Your dumb if you dont. I kinda wish I used them for orgo too just so I could have had my 25.
CDP- only way to go on PAT
Achiever- Wasnt too much harder like everyone said. My PAT went up like 5 points, RC 5, but Bio, gen chem, and orgo only like 2 or so.
Topscore- About a point lower on topscore than the regulars. I did better on topscore bio though 🙁
DATqvault- consistantly around where I would get on everything. Use this.
Destroyer- Must for ochem, recommend it for gen chem. I wish I used it for bio. Maybe this was what I was missing. I wish somewhere there were bio lectures since through lecture is how I learn 100x better.
PAT: Obviously used CDP. I felt that it was definitely on par with the real thing. Maybe even a bit harder. On CDP I was scoring between 20-22 every time. I felt that my test was easier then I had anticipated.
Keyholes- I was usually good at these, averaged around 12-14 on my CDP. I knew I would be solid on this section. I got to the first question, most random intricate shape ever. After that it was smooth sailing.
TFE- this is one of the sections I dreaded the most usually but I got good at it. I usually get around 10 right. I felt the real DAT was easier, probably got around 12-13.
Angles- My worst section by far. I did however feel this was easier on the real DAT. Probably got 10 or so.
Hole Punching- This and cubes are my two strongest sections. Without a double at least 14 right. I dont use paper, I can just visualize it. There were no crazy ones, I probably had 2 half punches maybe. No triples or quarters. I little bit easier than CDP.
Cubes- Breezed through. No optical illusions. Very straight forward. At least 14 right again. Assuming no dumb mistakes
Pattern folding- probably my second weakest. I felt that it was definitely easier on the real thing. I would get maybe 8 right on CDP. Definitely did better ont he real thing.
QRT- I didnt study at all. Have always been really gifted in math. Got right where I wanted. Not complaining.
RC- Passages were pretty straight forward, at least 90% search and destroy. Dont think I got to the last 4 questions or so. I really dont know why this is even on the DAT. Has no correlation to your comprehension level lol.
Biology- Oh god. I knew I was gonna do bad. Was going to be happy if I scored an 18, estatic for a 19. Apparently I couldnt even hit that. I open up my exam, first question "Microarray" im like, what? Second question? Another lab technique. Great way to open my exam. I really cant believe I got a 17. I hope I dont have to retake b/c of this.
GC- My last 2 practice qvaults I scored 24's. I was hoping to get around that. 21, pretty satisfied. A lot of straight forward basic math questions. More of those than theory.
OC- I TA'd it for 2 semesters so i knew my stuff. All I did was destroyer. Master that and your golden. Not much popped up that I cant recall seeing from there. I wish I knew which ones I got wrong. I know I had 2 lab questions again (wtf is up with lab questions).
