Hi guys!!!

I just got done! Here is the break down of my scores:

Bio: 19
Ochem:20
Gchem:23

PAT: 19

QR:20
RC:20

TS/AA/PA:21/20/19

First, I wanted to thank you all for the help, and guidance.
Second, I would really appreciate your feed backs on the scores, and if they are good enough to get into a good dental school!

Here is the list of what I used as my study materials:

Bio: Kaplan Blue book, and Cliff's Bio- It was good enough source, but knowledge of Bio is also important, which I don't have, since I am an engineer.

Ochem: Destroyer-Amazing source. I learned all of ochem off of this.

Gchem: Destroyer-Very good practice material.

PAT: Crack DAT PAT- The actual test was very similar, but I didn't practice enough, so if you master this , you will be set.

RC, and QR: None- I am not much help here, I have read many scientific papers, and I guess if you know how to get through them, you should be ok.

I used Achiever and Topscore as well, both good sources.

Good luck to you all, I am off to get some drinks 😉

solid scores. Congrats. What kind of passages were your RC about?

 

[Techer]

The RC was terrible! One was about Bridges!!!!! that sucked, the other two about epidemiology and Neuroscience and decent.

I had that too!!! that version sucked :S
i got 16RC 🙁, how did you get 20 on that, the neuroscience one was so hard.

 

[Techer]

oh wow! I am glad somebody agrees with me! The neuroscience was all about glancing through the paragraphs! Not much "comprehension" involved!

 

[peace25]

techer do you mean that you used search and destroy or that you read the pasage first?

 

[Techer]

I didn't use search. I read the questions first, and looked for answers in the passage. That was of course when I was running out of time!

 

[peace25]

oh, then what is the difference between search and destroy and your method?
what did you do when you werent running out of time?

Nice Scores. I am planning on taking the dat in a few weeks. I was wondering how you were scoring on TOP SCORE and AChiever, as I am using both of those to prep for my test. Thanks. Congrats again.

I had that test too!! (Well, at least the RC part). I'm surprised you found it so hard! I had the exact opposite opinion!! 🙂 I got a 27 on RC and I'm still trying to figure out how I missed a question!

 

[Techer]

As far as Topscore and Achiever scores go, I was def scoring lower on the sciences, around 18-19. But I got much higher on RC and QR.
