Just finished my DAT today..
The bio was kinda hard.. Some of the questions were worded hard.
I had to think too much about some questions.
The G-chem section was not that easy either..!! O chem was very straight forward
PAT the Pattern folding was surprisingly hard!! I was struggling with that section.. the key holes weren't as straightforward as Crack, I had to do elimination to find the correct choice.

More info pls. Good scores though.

More info on what exactly?

PA 23
Bio 23
Ochem 24
G-Chem 17
RC 18
QR 19

I used Crack, started with 18's but ended with 22's
used Math destroyer.. didn't get to finish it though :/
Destroyer is a good source.. but don't memorize stuff.. try to understand... Some things like what the organelles and hormones do are pure memorization.. and you just have to know them.. but try to understand what goes on as well, since some questions are very conceptual.
My G-chem had some calculations.. I ran out of time, it wasn't hard now that I think about it.. I was just too slow and kept skipping and in the end I had to guess some. (destroyer)
O-chem.. destroyer will teach you more than enough.


Oh and my Topscore last scores: (3 days before the actual DAT)

What you used to study, how long you studied. Anything throw you off-guard like the biology section?

Did you have taxonomy on the biology section?

Bio section..

some questions were sooo easy..
Know your hormones.. where they come from and where they work on
basically know the whole destroyer for biology.. try to really really understand what goes on so if they change the style of Qs you can go back to your own info and put the puzzle together. Most of the questions were easy, about 10 you had to think harder about and about 5 of them I had to really try to eliminate as many as I could to guess between the last two. Taxonomy I had about 3 questions.. Taxonomy sucks.. but read over that chapter every night before you sleep (sounds like too much work but..).
