I want to get opinion of the members here on this because I know you guys are studying for this as well.

All I need on the DAT is a 20 for the Academic Average, and an 18 for the PAT. I am in one of those Combined Degree Programs at the University at Buffalo, which is why I just have a cut off.

My Overall GPA is 3.863 and Science GPA is 3.85.

How hard--I know this is subjective, so I'd prefer comments over a yes/no answer--do you think it would be to get a 20 on my first try of the DAT.

I'm taking the DAT at the beginning of next summer so I can get Orgo 1&2 beforehand.

I plan on studying lightly but consistently the first semester, and the second semester I will study more heavily.

I am yet to take my DAT... so I might not be the best person to answer this..

however if you put in enough effort and use the correct material...that is easily doable...
 
I doubt it will be hard for you to get over 20 on the DAT with your GPA in your combined degree program, which sounds pretty tough. For you, it'd probably take one to two months of hardcore studying to get above 20. That's just my opinion though.
