I took the DAT yesterday and these are my scores:
23 AA
25 TS
21 PAT
Background:
I am a third year BMS major with a 4.0 GPA. I started studying for the DAT last summer and did not study during the fall semester. I started studying again December 24th 2015 until April 5th 2016. This is around 100 days and I accumulated 310 hours. I logged my studying and what I studied to keep myself accountable since I have classes and work also.
Breakdown:
PAT (21) - I bought CDP and didn't really use it, I purchased it last summer and the main reason was because it does not expire. The best resource I bought was definitely DAT BC. DAT Genius's explanations were fantastic, however, I only did the free practice test. The PAT is something you need to practice in advance and constantly. I am happy with my score, I got 4-5 rocks for the keyhole portion that I didn't even try to answer. I also struggled with the pattern folding questions.
QR (20) - I used math destroyer and the math sections of two DAT books I have. I wish I scored higher on this section. I don't really know what happened. I did not have time to go over my marked questions.
RC (22) - I did not really study for this section. The way some people suggest is to read Scientific American Articles daily. The passages were 7-10 paragraphs in length so they were shorter than DAT BC.
Bio (25) - I am happy with my score as I had around 4-5 questions marked. The questions on my test were really random so I recommend studying for this section in advance as there is a plethora of information to memorize. I used Princeton and Kaplan DAT books, DAT Destroyer, Cliffs Bio, Feralis Notes, and Tyjacob's Notes to study for this section.
GC (24) - For OC and GC I thought I knew every question while taking this test. I have no idea what I missed. I probably made careless mistakes. I finished the sciences with around forty minutes left. I am good at chemistry as I have been a chemistry tutor so I didn't study much. I mainly watched Chad's and DAT Destroyer for this section.
OC (24) - Again, I don't know what I missed. I thought I knew every question. Use Chad's and DAT destroyer and you should be good.
Reflecting Thoughts- Overall, I am happy with my score and am glad the test is over. My goal for the test was a 22 AA or higher which was the average score of my practice tests.
23 AA
