So finally done with DAT ...relieved and sad 🙁. These are my scores and some thoughts...
bio-17
gchem -16
ochem - 19
pat - 18
rc - 18
qr - 17
TS - 17 & AA - 17
Bio - yes, few random questions but also few ridiculously easy. I was busy studying stuff like hormones, NT, kidney, heart circulation, ecology...but none of the questions really appeared on DAT. It is definitely applied...not just memorizing..i dont know what to say about this section....but dont go all crazy memorizing cellular resp, photosynthesis, hormones and stuff
gchem - wanted to kill myself when i was taking this test. Seriously most of it is chemistry I...i was so busy doing calculations and crazy chem questions that i never really focused on concepts. People who are going to take DAT soon..read this carefully...Drop your pen/pencil right now and stop doing calculations!!!! Know your concepts and property of periodic table! This section was so easy but you might get low score like me if you study wrong stuff!Yes there were 3-4 calculations...but they were set out u didnt have to do the math. Feel freaking stupid for not studying the concepts properly.
ochem- do destroyer and you will be fine
PAT - very easy ..crack the DAT PAT really helps...angles, cubes & hole punching questions are very eays. pattern & aperture are medium level...i never did T/F/E so i dont know about that. I am happy with 18 PAT
RC - OMG!!!! the hardest section of all! its true questions are not straight from the passage...more than 60% questions are on authors tone, what is passage trying to convey? what wil be future of blah blah! what does this sentence imply etc...jumping straight to questions is not a good idea...skimming thru passage is a big NO!NO! you gotta know what the passage is about. I must have guessed atleast 10 questions
QR- What happened????? used to score 20-21 on practice tests....no crazy probability quesitons. I never wasted my time still ran out of time! IF i took longer than 15 mins just to analyze the question..i guessed and moved on. Still I had to take wild guess on atleast 5
Well, so obviously I did horrible...but that doesnt mean I cant share my experience! The main reason to post this thread is for the people who will be taking DAT - i dont want you all to make the same mistakes that I did. Its not that i didnt invest enough time for DAT studying...I just didnt study the right material. I am not planning on retaking it for this cycle coz i cant take it til nov 15th and it will be too late...so I will just hope for the best and hope to get in. If i dont then i will take it again next summer and apply again!!Goodluck to you all! and i hope reading this thread helped you for studying.
