I took the DATs yesterday. Here is a breakdown of my scores
Bio - 21
GChem - 20
OChem - 20
QR-19
RC -20
TS - 21
AA - 20
PAT- 24
I took Kaplan classes over a year and a half ago. For me, the classes themselves weren't really at all helpful but then again i had a horrible instructor; however, i found their material good for a basic overview of all the sciences. I then went over my friends' princeton mcat book for bio and ochem, then did a couple ap bio books, finally took these last 3 weeks before the test to go over destroyer, topscore, and achiever. I'll post my scores for topscore and achiever over the next couple days. Ill also post more of what i thought about the test in a few days as far as how I thought the different sections compared to the practice material i used.
I didn't find the test to be too difficult, I thought it was rather fair in the questions being asked, but I totally freaked out during the test. I was shaking the whole time, and walked out with all my muscles aching. The night before the test was pretty awful too, i had horrible anxiety so I didn't sleep for more than 4 hours. I didnt realize I would have that much anxiety esp. considering the fact that when i took my SATs back in high school i was excited and was looking forward to taking that test.
Anyway, I didnt score as high as many others. I'm considering taking the test over since my gpa isnt all that great, but for now I'm gonna take a few days to recover and not think about it. Also, I got paper, no dry erase board for scratch work.
If any of you guys have questions, PM me. I would love to help, even with my not so terribly hot scores. Ill post in a few days with the rest of the info/scores as well as thank yous.
