didn't get to post my scores until today but here they are:
PA: 19 (69.4%)
QR: 17 (76.6%)
RC 21 (88.9%)
BIO: 21 (95.5%)
GC: 25 (98.9%)
OC: 18 (64.2%)
TS: 21 (96.2%)
AA: 20 (93.4%)
pretty decent DAT scores IMO, only problem is i have sub 3.0 GPA. i have a decent amount of EC with about 100 hours shadowing and about 50 volunteering.
should i even bother applying? i just graduated, so should i just take post-bacc classes and try applying next year?
my DAT breakdown:
PAT: seemed pretty easy to be honest. i was pretty disappointed with my score. im pretty sure i completely screwed up the angle ranking because i thought i did well on every other portion. CDP is your friend here for sure. pattern folding seemed a lot easier than what CDP offers. keyholes were a bit tougher, but other than that, everything else matched CDP difficulty level.
QR: honestly, who cares. i only used dat destroyer QR section for this. had to guess on about 3 problems that i was not able to finish because of time restraints.
RC: pretty standard stuff. i read through the passages entirely and then answered each of the questions. finished with about 10 minutes left. i guess i made some careless mistakes.
BIO: i used cliffs as my guideline and supplemented it with Cambell and Reece. pretty random questions. i only had one taxonomy question which was pretty annoying (wasted so much time studying for that). i was a bio major, so that certainly helped
GC: Chad. enough said.
OC: Chad. obviously not enough since i got an 18. im really regretting not studying for this section more. chad's videos will NOT be enough to study for this section.
and that's pretty much it. i hope you guys benefited from my breakdown.
