DAT Done 10/21

[daiz613]

OC: 18
GC: 18
Bio: 21
PAT: 17
RC: 18
QR: 16

Total Science: 21
AA: 18

I'm so happy to be done...QR was pretty tough and time was a factor. I was doing much better on PAT practice tests, but this time was much harder. RC had long passages!
More importantly, sciences were pretty straight forward! I think I did the best on this section since I obviously prepared the most here. I started with Kaplan to get basic foundational stuff...practiced with TopScore...then finally attacked the DESTROYER!

Destroyer was dead on with the difficulty of questions in comparison to the actual DAT. I went through the book a few times and really took time to understand the solutions!

Best of luck to everyone!

nice scores...but, how did your total science end up being a 21 instead of a 19? do some sections count more than others...?

21 TS? i realize that bio has more q's than ochem or gchem, but i dont see how you got 21 ts

Yeah, is that possible?

 

[daiz613]

sorry kids...typo...TS= 19!

then same AA and TS as me. i have 2 interviews so far. hoping for a few more, but if not, I am happy with the two as God has really blessed me.

i also got a 16 in QR. I do not think its that big of a deal. i would like to have done better, but if you are going to score low in one section QR is the one.

are you applying for 09?

nice solid scores, i definitely think you got a nice shot for some interviews. where are you looking to apply to?

 

[daiz613]

Thanks...Yeah, I'm applying for '09. I've sent out all my application stuff in the summer, so I'm just waiting for some interviews. Where did you get interviews so far at? I applied to a bunch of schools, mostly on the east coast & some mid-west.

Now it's just a matter of waiting! Stay positive

you took the DAT very late in the application process ... why? I think with an early completed application you would have been in good shape as others have posted.
