Just got back from the testing center, here are the scores:

PAT 20 81.0%

RC 19 67.6 %
BIO 19 83.5 %
GC 19 79.9%

So happy it is over. Hoping these scores will get me in!

Chances?


Since I found it very useful to look at everyone else's posts when I was preparing I will do the same so I hope it helps 🙂

PAT
CrackDAT is wonderful for this section. I was expecting a higher score but I guess I still can't complain. My CrackDAT scores were:
18/18/18/18/20/22/22/21/23

QR
I didn't spend as much time on this section as others to be completely honest and I felt the section was a lot easier than I expected. I watched Chad's videos and read his notes as well as took a few of the CrackDAT tests, making sure I went over all the answers and explanations afterwards. I also glanced at the QR section of the Destroyer but honestly for probably less than an hour.
CrackDAT scores:
19/18/18/20/19/18/18

RC
Surprised a bit at my score I thought I would have done better on this section, but I barely prepared so I can't complain. The only preparation for this was one test on CrackDAT.

BIO
This section was a bit random. I read KBB probably like 5 months ago. I also went through over half of the Campbell and Reece Biology textbook and typed notes. I went through Cliffs AP Biology notes and took notes of my own. Started the Destroyer about a week before the test which I probably should have done earlier.

GC
Read this section in KBB a while ago. Then went straight to Chad's videos and quizzes and wrote my own notes. Also did about 80 problems only in Destroyer because I started it later than I anticipated.

OC
I thought this would be my worst section because I have always had a problem with Orgo! But surprisingly one of my highest scores. When I was going through the Destroyer this week I was getting around only 50% of the answers right, but that is because the Destroyer is a lot harder! Materials were KBB, Chad's videos/quizzes and notes I took from them, and the Destroyer.

Hopefully this is helpful! And hopefully I get into dental school! 😍

I am shooting for your scores! It is nice to see real people scores on this site for a change lol all theses 22+ are depressing. Overall how much different is the real DAT compaired to the study material? The study material is starting to bust my balls! Are the question for bio more like destroyer or cliffs quizzes at the end of the chapter?
 
Nice work

Thanks everyone!

Yeah I didn't have 10+ hours per day to study I graduated a few weeks ago and started working soon after so I studied maybe 4-5 hours per day.
I actually thought the DAT was easier. Bio is kind of all over the place though, even with me being a biomed major and looking through all the material I still got a 19. I would say Destroyer is your best bet for everything. I didn't go through it a full time so I'd recommend going through it at least once and another time if possible and looking at the explanations.
