Finally the struggle is over. Sorry I'm late with the breakdown but I was on
a "being done with DAT high" for a week. I studied on and off from April to June but went hardcore (4-6 hours a day) for the last 3 weeks. I was very bipolar last Monday, here are my scores:
PAT 17 🙁
QR 19
RC 17
Bio 19
GChem 23
Ochem 25
TS 21
AA 21
PAT: I used Crack the PAT. Took only 5 of the tests and got 18, 18, 18, 19, 19. I should have finished the 10 tests I had but had no time. Everything was on par with Crack except the hole punching was slightly harder. I just panicked on the section to be honest.
QR: I used Math Destroyer and Topscore. I was getting like 20/40 on the Math Destroyer and so it is a lot harder than the actual DAT. Topscore was on par with the real one. I got 19, 19, 20 on Topscore. My opinion is to work on trig and probability a lot! Also, the calculator didn't lag either and helped me with 6-7 of the problems.
RC: Crazy hard section I had some TOUGH articles and maybe 10-12 tone/inference questions. Topscore is HORRIBLE for this section. I got 22, 23, 26 on Topscore. Topscore has no tone etc... questions b/c it is straight facts. Not a good resource.
BIO: I used AP Cliffs, Destroyer. I read Cliffs 4 times and did all the Destroyer problems. To be honest the questions are extremely random but know Cliffs front to back and you should be fine (>20).
GChem: I used Chad and Destroyer (twice). Perfect resources for this section. Watch Chad, take notes on Chad, do Destroyer twice, take notes on Destroyer and review all your notes again for the last week
Ochem: I used Chad and Destroyer (twice). Do the same as above and know the ROAD MAPS in the middle of Destroyer front to back! Nothing too tricky on this section.
I have a 4.03 sGPA, 3.99 overall and 3.8 non-sci. Applied to 15 schools on AADSAS and will send secondaries to about 10. My 17s should not be huge problem right? Most schools have 17 cut offs not 18 right?

. I know for a fact UCSF has a 17 cutoff on each section and I know for a fact they don't look at the PAT much (talked to admissions director). RC is a different story, I can see why that would be a problem.
