man i totally choked on math and gchem my two best subjects!!!!!!!!! Overall happy with my scores wish i just did better on math and gchem i was scoring the highest on them in my practice tests. mannnnnnnn the test was pretty straight forward not as detailed like people said.

Breakdown
PAT- CDP on the money i took two tests because I was rushed on time during my studies. Do it.

QR- Didn't really study it. I don't think it's as hard as people say it was. I was so nervous because people hyped it up it was pretty straight forward i just choked.

RC-Search and Destroy! passage were simple should have done better. My topics were Calcium, DNA Microarray, and Brain and the language.

Bio-Overall it was easier than I thought it was going to be. I had no clue on about three of the questions couldn't have gotten them even if i studied more. I pretty much saw all the questions in one form or the other in my studies. Eh could have done better but could have done much worse. I used Cliff's (memorize it), Destroyer, Kaplan the more problems you see the better

Chem- Man this was my best subject. I got around half concepts and half calculations. The calculations I'm solid on I think its the conceptual questions that got me. Used Destroyer, Kaplan.

Ochem-Total surprise! Pretty straight forward had two questions that I had no idea on though. One weird Wittig question and the other I forgot. Used Chad's videos, Destroyer, Kaplan.

Topscore
BIO/CHEM/OCHEM
1) 16 18 15
2) 16 17 16
3) 16 17 18

Eh overall i wish i did better my gpa is low...overall 3.15 sci. 2.99 750+ hours of shadowing 200+ volunteering. Already sent my apps everything's in except dat score should I even bother to continue my application process? Maybe retake? Let me know...


Oh yeah for encouragement here are my first ever DAT scores in the beginning of the summer:
PAT 14
QR 21
RC 18
Bio 11
Chem 15
Ochem 13

so anyone can do well! not that I did well but study hard! any questions let me know!

I got the same version. Same Ochem score. I know what you mean on that Wittig reaction! Nice improvement!
 
Nice job, but I don't understand all the sad faces and the claims that you "choked"...you do know a 19AA is above average, right?

I guess i really wanted above a 20 since my GPA was so low I guess they were unrealistic expectations. Anyone think i should retake or have a chance in dental school? i was thinking just continuing with usc (dream school), uop, BU, tufts, nyu, temple, western maybe maryland?
 
did u take ur test on September for this cycle or next cycle?
Isn't it kinda late for this cycle?

I took it for this cycle I know its a little late but everything's already in they're just waiting for my DAT scores. So maybe it's not too late? hopefully...
