I just finished the dat today and I'm sooo glad it's over! Now, I can go out and work on my supplementals, not be stuck in my room everyday for hours and hours 
. Overall, I'm very happy with my score. I studied for about a month and half hardcore. Studying hard definitely paid off!
pat 21 - 92.2%
QR 19 - 84.9%
RC 18 - 44 %

Ochem 26 - 98.1%
TS 24 - 99.3%
AA 22 - 96.4 %
Studying material: kaplan bb, kaplan subject test, destroyer, princeton, topscore, achiever
studying pattern: kaplan bb (made my own notes. I went through 6 notebooks studying for this dat)→ kaplan subject tests → destroyer → princeton → my notes → kaplan subject tests → destroyer → princeton → topscore → achiever →my notes → kaplan subject tests → destroyer → princeton → topscore → achiever → I circled questions that are important and the ones I didn't get and went through them few times.
PAT: I bought the CDP with 10 tests and did one test almost everyday for the past month. I went through it twice and it definitely helped me improve my score. Cube counting was easier on the real dat but the folding was harder. Other sections were similar.
Biology: This section was very random. I memorized alot of details but I don't think there were too many detail questions on the real dat. I bought schaum's bio but I ended up not using it because it was too detailed and it would take me forever to read it. I just focused on other materials I had and I made sure than I knew them thoroughly.
GChem: I had to reteach myself everything for this section! I couldn't believe i got 27 because it was my weakest section in the beginning. I would say it's alot easier than achiever and slightly easier than topscore. When I took the achiever test about two weeks ago, I averaged about 17~18 lol. Destroyer was very helpful because it helped me understand concepts. Kaplan subj tests were also helpful. Regarding calculation problems, the numbers were easy to work with and I didn't have to solve it all the way. For example the answer was written (3)(6), not 18.
Ochem: Destroyer is a must!!!! Alot of the questions were reactions. I memorized all of the reactions on kaplan and destroyer.
QR: There are alot of word problems. I went through destroyer math twice and did topscore and achiever.
RC: 18 is not the best but I'm okay with it.
During the last few days, I didn't study too hard and tried to stay calm.
I have so much to say but don't know what to write. If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer My cum gpa is 3.5 and scigpa is 3.3 with a B.S. in molecular and cellular biology. I have a good extracurricular activities but no research. Please, give me some comments.
