PAT - 20 (85.4%)
QR - 18 (75.8%)
RC - 20 (72.4%)
Bio - 21 (91.7%)
GC - 22 (90.1%)
OC - 21 (87.6%)
Total Science - 21 (92.4%)
Academic Average - 20 (87.1%)


Those are my scores. I can't believe I did so well since my Topscore tests were around 17/18 AA and my Achiever tests were 17/16.

I don't know if my scores are good enough to warrant a full breakdown but I here's what I used to study: Cliff's AP Bio, Math Destroyer (this is a must have!), DAT Destroyer, Chad's Videos for OC, GC, and Trig (super super helpful, definitely worth the money), and Crack DAT PAT (also a must have!).

Background info: Biology major living in Florida. I am a URM (yeah, I look like my avatar 🙄). My GPA is 3.51 cumulative, 3.48 science, and 3.69 BCP. I'm applying to Nova, UF, VCU, Western, Maryland, ASDOH, Midwestern (AZ), Louisville, and maybe Howard and Meharry.

Oh, they were really bad LOL. Achiever was like 14/15. I got 14/17/16 on Topscore 1/2/3. GC is also my weakness (got B's in those classes) so I wasn't really expecting much.

Thankfully, DAT GC is pretty simple🙂. Drill Destroyer (I went through it 3 times) and you should be straight.

haha GOOD... i just took a kaplan practice test and got 13 on gen chem--the calculations threw me off tremendously. i also got a B+ and a B in my gen chems so you are in inspiration for my test next week!!

Yeah, I didn't really start understanding GC until I watched Chad's Videos (God Bless Him).

I think you'll do great 🙂

Do you have DAT Destroyer? If so, spend some time writing out all of the roadmaps. Know Sn1/Sn2/E1/E2. Knowing the basic is really important. Also, try this site out: http://legacyweb.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/flashcards/

A little fear is good. It make you perform better. Call up a really positive friend and let there good vibes comfort you LOL (no, seriously, you should call them up).

Was Piano Passage really as hard as they say it is? Is everyone getting Piano passage these days? lol I think this is the 4th breakdown this week that has had it....
Math Destroyer really helped you? What could you have done in order to improve your QR score?

I read a lot so my opinion might be biased. If you can read and understand what your reading then won't be that bad.

My QR score was bad because I ran out of time 🙁

whats a piano passage?

whats a piano passage?

Hopefully something you won't have to worry about 🙂

 

[marymatthews]

I saw a frew recent threads where the test takers had the paino passage though...
you think it will be a new trend? especially for the near future DATs?

 

[BioSeven]

I have no idea. If you're really worried about RC try reading some scientific papers. Those require TONS of reading comprehension.

I'm glad you find it helpful. It was one of my main study resources when I was taking organic chemistry. That and my lovely Carey textbook 🙂
