Well, the DAT was everything that I expected. I'm new to posting on this site but i have been snooping around here for the last 2 months. This site can be very helpful in many aspects. So here are my scores
BIO 19
GC 27😎
ORGO 24😎
TS 22😎 ( 95th)
QR 18
RC 19😡
AA 21 ( 91 th)
PAT 19
I am a chemistry major so the chemistry section was a breeze for me. THe destroyer was a great study guide for ORGO and GC.
NOW... BIO.... i studied like an animal for this section but it didnt matter..
Prostate questions, Signal transduction... 2 SUPER hard pictures that i had NO idea.. and other crazy stuff i had to guess on. THe bio section had like 30 questions that were like for a 1st grader and then like 10 super hard ones. WHATEVER my advice.. just study everything and dont study random detials.. just learn everything
GC... Couple of quick calcs, not too much conceptual.. Pretty easy studyer destroyer and study some Acid Base stuff
Orgo... there was a question on my test which was wrong.. It had a hydroboration that added carbons to chain.. who cares. study destroyer and most off study lab techs... C 13 NMR H 11 NMR TLC etc etc.....
PAT.. WOW everything practice test on this was a 20-23... let me tell you.. i though that section was impossible. everything was just hard but who knows its just me. if you are scoring 19 on practice ones you better be careful.
RC... The first two passages were sooooo easy i must have gotten everything right. the last passage was super impossible onthe most random subjects. No need to read the passages. If i wouldn;t have had a stupid last passage i would have had a 23 24 easy. passages were actually short and nothing too crazy. its more like a scavenger hunt than a reading comp
QR.. soooo i like how everyone on this site complains about not enough time on this section.. well i went through the questions once and had about 15 mins left and 11 marked questions. It didn't matter how much time you gave me for these questions i would have never got them. I would have needed like a good 5-6 mins to actually think out the questions. AND BTW the word problems are the easiest questions they give in my opinion. NO tricks nothing..I AM really good in TRIG and Math in general butt he trig on this test was in another world. i had to guess it was so bad. probability was super easy baby stuff.
I am a chemistry major so thats probably why im complaining about bio and did awesome in chem. i studied for 8 weeks about everything.. the problem was all i studied was bio becuase the kaplan diag for bio i got a 8.. Thats right an 8.. n
Top score tests
Bio 19-23
GC 22-perfect
ORGo 24- perfect
RC 22-23
QR 21 -23
PAT 22- 23
Kaplan tests i actualy had more trouble with.
BIo 18-21
GC 20-22
Orgo 20 - 30
RC 19- 21
QR 19-22
PAT 22-23
As you can see i always did well in the PAT. i didnt study for it one second and didn't buy anything either. I would def tell people to give the PAT a little time and to buy whatever the stuff is people buy nowadays.
Study guides.. Kaplan class( total waste of time) taught at a 2nd grade level.
Destroyer... was very good.. dont turn it into the bible and worship it.. it doesnt work miracles. i used AP cliffs 2nd edition for bio which helped me understand fundamentals but gave me no shot at the tough questions on the test. I spent so much time on this website trying to find information and it was def worth it. I would have just studied kaplan bio and kaplan crap and would have never had a chance of getting into dental school. THis site really made me study and know the tough tough competition. There was like 5-6 kids in my kaplan class that i had no idea about the DAT and really had no chance without ever visiting this site.
ANd one last thing.. I love how everyone puts up there numbers and GPA and goes what you think. Unless i was not told but i didn;t know that there was ADCOMS on the SITE. no one knows... there is much more than GPA and DAT scores. My dad went to PENN and he had a 3.2 GPA and 18 on the DAT. that was like awesome back in the day. its just crazy now that like 22 has like slim chance for me to get into STony. WEll sorrry about the long post and I know this post will help others study.. ANy questions i would love to answer.. and one last thing.... There is no better feeling that when you are done with the test. I gave up my family, friends, beer, and esp my girlfriend. i went into my room at school and just studied and had no life. Maybe I'm not as smart as others but there is a good amount of time that has to be invested if you want to take this career path.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
