First off, I want to thank everyone on this forum for scaring me $hitless this past week, making me study like a madman.

Here's the breakdown:

Bio:

Started off HORRIBLE. First 3-4 questions were on things I barely/hadn't ever studied. What was even more annoying is that I didn't get tested on a single cell biology or biochemistry question (I'm a cell biology and biochemistry major) From what everyone else has said about this section, you should really know your basics but be aware that there will be 4-5 questions you probably aren't very familiar with.

Gen Chem:

Pretty straight forward...like others have been saying, a lot more conceptual than calculation based.

O-Chem:

Straight forward..again, just know the basic reactions and you should be fine.

Quantitative Reasoning:

I thought it was pretty easy/straight forward until about question 21/40..where it started getting a lot worse. Overall, I would have liked to do better..but not as bad as it could have been I suppose.

Reading Comprehension:

So I got the infamous ethics passage everyone on this forum has been talking about...and it seriously shows in my score. I was getting 20+ on all the practice tests and well...this kinda hurt looking at it.

Well, so much for the delay. Here are the scores:

PAT: 21
QR: 18
RC: 17
Biology 18
GC: 20
OChem: 22
TS: 20
AA:19

Overall, I have a 3.6 cumulative and 3.5 science. What do u guys think my chances are? Do you guys think the RC is going to hurt a lot?? I REALLY don't want to have to retake just for that...


Any questions, fire away.

Congrats on some nice scores. Hopefully your RC doesnt hurt you and you get into the school you want.

Dude, your fine. You have really good scores. Enjoy them!

Good job! 🙂

good job.

nice score. congrats! what material did you use for bio?

I used Cliff's AP Biology and Kaplan for biology. I thought Kaplan does a pretty good job laying things out for you, but in the end Cliff's was by far more detailed. I was really hoping for a nice spread of subjects for the biology section but they really only focused on a few...(which were to my luck the ones I'm worst at). Had I known about this forum before (I learned about it 1-2 weeks ago) I would have purchased destroyer and probably could have brought up biology a bit...so for anyone who hasn't taken their DAT yet, apparently that's the thing to get. Good luck!
