Hey guys,

So I just finished my DAT for the second time and was wondering if anyone was able to clear up my confusion....

1st attempt in 2014
PAT 20
QR 17
RC 21
Bio 18
GC 20
OC 18
TS= 19
AA=19

2nd attempt today
PAT 20
QR 19
RC 21
Bio 19
GC 19
OC 21
TS=19
AA=20

I know that TS isn't an average of the three sciences, and that bio is weighted more heavily than gc and oc, but I'm confused as to why my TS from today is a 19 and not a 20? If you multiply the three science scores by their percentage of the total 100 science questions for the first attempt you get 18.6 which makes sense that TS rounds to 19 but then for today's attempt doing the same thing I get 19.6 so I'm not sure why that wouldn't round to a 20. I'm not sure that this is even the way its calculated but regardless I don't see how they can both be the same......Is this weird or am I just over analyzing my score?
