PAT -20
QR- 18
RC-20
BIO- 20
GCHEM-21
OCHEM-23
TS-21
AA- 20 (I wish I would of studied more for QR)

Overall Im pretty happy. I started to study 12/16/11 and classes started back up last week so I have really only had 4 good weeks to study because Christmas and everything messed me all up. Here is my break down

PAT- CDP I scored 1 point lower than my averages on CDP I blame this on TFE because it was harder on the real thing.

QR-I bought math destroyer and only did three test. I put almost now time into this and realized two days ago it accounts for 1/3 of the AA

RC- Nothing like any of TOP score or achiever test. Its like right in the middle of the two most of is like search and destroyer but not as easy as topscore and sometimes they pull from multiple paragraphs so its best to read the whole thing fast and then search and destroyer I actually ran out of time on mine and had to strictly search and destroy the last passage and it messed me up.

BIO- I used KBB and Cliffs. I started off reading them and then got bored because you should know most of that stuff. I then used datqvault to find out my weakness and strengthen them. There was one question on the test that was super random the rest was what i would have expected.

Gchem-Chads videos, Chads quizes. I also bought DAT destroyer and did just over half of it. Destroyer is ok but chads is 100000 million times better. I would recommend getting an older copy because it is nice to have for practice problems but chads problems and videos are amazingly accurate for what you should know.

Ochem- Once again Chads and I read KBB. I did do all the destroyer problems one time I struggled with destroyer and hated it. I got like 60% right in destroyer.

Overall Chads the man. I really like the datqvault and I think when the examily stuff comes out its going to be super help full. I know my score aren't super good for SDN but I think they will get me in some where plus I have a good gpa.

You forgot to mention your RC score. I think your QR score is decent and you have great scores overall. Good job!

I'm surprised you scored these results just by studying for 4 weeks.

I must of looked over it because it matched my BIO score. I really don't think people should spend 3 or 4 months prepping for this thing. I feel 6-8 would be ideal and can get you above 20aa. I wish I would of had time to watch chads videos and do the quizzes twice.
 
Solid scores all around dude! Don't worry about QR ... but question..what was your percentile on the QR? I got a 19 and its hard to imagine that the 19 is only a 91 percentile

did you buy the DAT qvault or did u just do the free 125 questions...?
is there any differnce between the payed subscription??? i'm sure theres more questions but is there a drastic difference??
You did a swell job and congrats!!

Each test is different in qvault (obviously there's some overlap but, no same type of questions) and the explanations help explain a lot so personally I think for 30 bucks or whatever it is it'll definitely help for bio. I used cliff's ap, barrons ap, kbb and datqvault (all 10 tests) and I got a 22 in bio. I looked at about 50 destroyer questions too but, stopped because they were pretty ridiculous imo.
 
My QR 86.6 percentile. Datqvault is good stuff its cheap to like 20ish bucks. I did the 10 tests averaged around about a 20 on them. There questions were real similar in content to the DAT. On the real thing they twist the question around to make it seem confusing and you have to read the question a couple times to know what there asking but datqvault is good.
