Took the DAT today and am pleased with my scores.
PAT 18
QR 17
RC 19
BIO 20
GC 19
OC 23
TS 20
AA 20
3.79 overall, 3.81 non-science.
I used Kaplan BB, Destroyer, Schaum's, Achiever, and Topscore. I starting studying mid-May and would pretty much go about 6-8 hours a day during the week and take it easy on the weekends. Went through the Kaplan BB two times through, definitely not sufficient enough for the Bio but seemed like it would be enough for GChem. I have a weak background in Organic (prof was horrible thus I was HORRIBLE in O-chem before I started studying), so Destroyer was definitely my savior on this - I prolly went through Destroyer O-Chem four times and it really did the trick (went through GChem and Bio in destroyer twice). I also read through Schaum's once.
Achiever and topscore def. helped me get my timing down. I ran through 2 full length topscore tests. For achiever I just did the Science portions. Will post scores later if yall want. Achiever was definitely demoralizing at times but it just forced me to study harder.
Actual test: Yes, I got FRAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPED. I was doing well on RC practice tests and I'm pretty sure the ethics passage on the actual DAT pwned me. Also, I used topscore and kaplan BB to practice PAT but on the actual test the angles seemed RIDICULOUS and the hole punching seemed harder as well (prolly should've done some PAT from achiever). Didn't spend too much time studying for Quant. thus indicative of my score; timing is essential.
Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll be happy to answer...I'm sure I forgot some details.
Anyhoo, I'm finally done and am so excited my summer can officially begin! Woot!
