Hey everyone i just did my first DAT today...unfortunately the results were not as i expected from my practice exams
PA: 15 (ouch)
QR: 16
Rc:20
Bio:19
GC:20
Org:24
TS:21
AA:20

The math is simply my weak point everytime and not consistent. The pat was rough the angle rank was harder than it usually was.
The question i have is should i plan to retake the test again, im a bio major with a 3.75 gpa. Im mainly applying to schools in texas... any advice?

Hell no. Don'tretake. You did fine. Congratulations 👍. That score will earn you some interviews and probably acceptance if everything else in your application is strong.

Your score should be fine for Texas schools. Just make sure you ace your interviews. 🙂

Don't worry too much over the PAT and QR. The most important are the science scores. If the schools make an issue out of this then its their problem.
