I'm so happy to finally be done! Thanks to everyone else who posted breakdowns of their own DAT, it helped a lot!!
PAT: 22 (90.9)
QR: 28 (99.6)
RC: 25 (97.2)
Bio: 23 (97.4)
GC: 28 (99.0)
OC: 24 (94.9)
TS: 25 (99.3)
AA: 26 (99.9)👍
I honestly don't remember much of what was on the test, except for one pesky GC problem. I forgot that a solution of 10^-10 M HCl would have a pH of close to 7. I looked at that problem for like 10 minutes at the end because I knew something was wrong. The correct answer hit me just in time, as soon as the section was over!
As far as my study plan goes, repitition was key for me. I read through Kaplan three times, Cliffs AP Bio twice, Barron's DAT twice, and I went through DAT Destroyer and Math Destroyer 3 times. After the second time doing the Destroyers I made notes on every question I missed, and I read them over and over while at the gym and before I went to bed.
I only used Crack Dat, 2007 and 2009 ADA for practice tests. Crack Dat science is junk. The PAT was great though. I went through all 10 tests once and then went through and did the first 5 again. I ended up getting perfect or close to perfect on every part of PAT except for freaking angles. I usually got a 7 or 8/15 on that section. I did Crack Dat RC 3 times, which really helped just to feel out the kinds of questions on the test. Crack Dat Math was pretty good too, but after Math Destroyer it wasn't anything too difficult.
Well, good luck to everyone who is studying for the DAT now. Just keep going over the things you miss and you'll get it. Oh, and don't forget that wikipedia is usually the quickest source for finding random bio info.
I haven't heard much about financial aid, but does anyone think there is a chance I get offered a scholarship with these scores and a 3.93 GPA, ~3.9 sGPA?
