Im finally done my DAT on last Tuesday.

PAT 24 (97.2%)
QR 23 (97.0%)
RC 21 (77.1%)
Bio 23 (97.4%)
GC 26 (98.5%)
OC 21 (84.6%) 🙁
TS 23 (97.5%)
AA 23 (98.1%)


I used KBB, Kaplan Review, DAT Destroyer, Achiever, TopScore, AP Cliff Biology.

I think Destroyer is really helpful to get an idea for biology questions, and Achiever was way too harder than real DAT. But Achiever's PAT practice questions were really similar to real ones. I read AP Cliff Biology twice, and I took Anatomy and Physiology class for an year before i took the test, so it was really helpful as well. My bf is good on OChem section, so he tutored me for OC section, so I thought I did very well on OC test, but I didn't,, 🙁 sorry hon, but you are a great OC tutor 😍

PAT, Achiever and TopScore
PAT was so hard! the hole punch part freaked me out first, the and angle part... huge sigh.
I thought Achiever's hole punch questions were exaggerated, but the actual PAT questions were also fold papers in odd ways.. angles look the same to me 😕
But cubes and folding parts were easier then I thought.

QR Destroyer
Easy algebra but I always got a couple of wrong answers.. 🙁 idk why..

RC
Im not a native speaker or fast reader, so this part was the most worried for me, but Im satisfied score of 21. I didn't read passage before i start answering the questions. my strategy was read questions first then find the paragraph that related to the question.. it worked for me 🙂

Bio Cliffs AP bio, Destroyer, Achiever
I took Anatomy and Physiology classes for an year before I took the test, so I am strong for physiology questions. I read Cliffs twice and it was helpful 🙂 I think there are always 1 or 2 random questions on this section...

GC/OC Destroyer
Destroyer's GC and OC questions are pretty decent, i think. I got a great tutor for OC from my bf and it was helpful.👍 I think actual GC and OC tests are much easier then destroyer and achiever, so don't worry if you got horrible scores on achiever.


I actually planned starting to study about 3 months before my test day, but I actually studied for 5 wks before my D-Day. I spent about 6-8 hours 5 days a week, i got a break on every weekend. I accidently erased my Topscore and Achiever test scores, so I cannot list the all exact scores. Achiever's science test were mostly lower than 20's, and PAT and QR were 22-23's. Topscore was about 22AA 23PAT.

Im happy with my score but Ochem, but relieved 🙂
I wish everyone get high score and good luck 👍
