Finished today. I was wondering if QR was very important? I hear that they are taking out QR next year for DAT so i'm not sure how important it is? I know that the cut off for most schools is 15 for every section. But let me know what you guys think....

PAT: 20 (96.7%)
QR: 14 (29.0%)
RC: 19 (60.2%)
Bio: 21 (93.8%)
GC: 20 (86.1%)
OC: 22 (93.0%)
TS: 21 (94.9%)
AA: 19 (82.3%)

I was averaging about 18 on everysection for top score except for PAT (22).
i also only did one QR test on topscore, cuz i did a lot of gre math work books....evidently not good enough....
 
Except for QR, those are some awesome scores! Everyone will quote the minimum requirements so you should beat them out by calling each of the schools you're applying to and finding out what their minimum is. Hadn't heard anything about it, but even if they are getting rid of QR next year it's still there this year and some schools will probably put more weight on it than others. Call and find out.

Great job though!

Thanks, you did pretty crucial on your DAT too.. But yea i guess i should give them a call. Do you know if it'll be some generic answer that some receptionist would give? like, "no, we don't even look at apps wit below __"

do you remember what RC topics u had on the DAT?
thanks

Yo the reading aint' that bad... Some one else posted a few days ago about the same exact test i took.

But reading was about Magneisum and effects (hardest one), Cell communication (not bad if you took cell bio class), and herbal medicine (very easy).

Overall it's just time management....and marking the ones that ask about overall idea/tone, etc. going back to them after you skim through a lot of the passage......

I recommend getting "EyeQ" extremely helpful speed reading program....you can download it at any torrent site like spytorrent.com or mininova.org

I'm sure you can get around the QR thing...but the rest of your scores are SOLID! Great job and good luck in your interviews. :luck:

Let us know what you find out form schools. 👍

all of the above???? depends on dat score, how i like boston, and of course how the boss feels. remember happy wife = happy life.

not really sure yet. i guess it all depends on how schools feel about me. only time will tell and right now it seems to be going by very SLOWLY.
