PAT 16
QR 16
RC 16
BIO 20
GC 20
OC 21
TS 20
AA 19

The BIO was really tough only because you had a good 10 q's that you will either not know or that will take careful analysis. For the most part, the other q's are not too bad so dont get discouraged while taking the exam if you bump into the tough ones because you may eventually find your groove and start hitting q's you know. Destroyer was good for this section. I studied some of shaum's but it may be a waste of time since this section can be a crapshot.

GC and OC was pretty okay and I think kaplan, topscore and destroyer should be good enough. Achiever is a little tougher in these sections.

The PAT was crazy just like levy said. the TFE were achiever status. I also found it surprising that cube counting was a bit tricky even though it tends to be the easiest section on every other practice test.

RC was very tough and my search and find answering method didnt work. I guess all the 21's on achiever and topscore dont mean much because they didnt represent the section's difficulty at all.

Thanks to those that answered my q's on previous posts. Now Ill try to help others the same way for as long as the info I studied is fresh in my head.

Destoryer is on point with most of the bio except for those stupid hard questions that no one knows

i agree with steven......the destroyer supplemented with the foundations of kaplan is the best way to go..........the rest of the q's seem to be a crapshot.....if you go over shaums then be wise and go over sections you are weak at because going over shaums once wont help you will def need to go over the same section 2-3 times to actually productively grasp the material or else you will be just reading for minimal gain

Hey queenskiller , lol your virtually got the same scores as i did. lol GREAT JOB. But do u think we can get in. I got only a 3.3 overall and 3.2 science.???

steven i think our scores are good in the sections that are most important........as far as getting in, it all depends on this years applicant pool...........but lets think common sense and if it can be assumed that sdn represents some of the higher scoring applicants (not necessarily top 5-10% but atleast top 25%) and we are all scoring in the 19-20 range, then the dat scores might be lower for this years applicant pool since the exam MIGHT of gotten harder (or else we are all just coincidently all scoring low).....so yea i think we have a decent shot but my pat will probably hurt me for most schools

Yes you have a shot but people on this forum need to realize that GPA and DAT scores are not the only thing admissions look at. They base their decision HEAVILY on the interview, which is probably why you hear of people with 20+ getting rejected and an 18 or 19 getting in. If you have no personality you will have a hard time impressing people in an interview.
