Just took the DAT for the first and hopefully last time earlier today. My family attacked me with food and festivities as soon as I got home so I'm barely now getting a chance to sit down and post about it lol. It feels AMAZING to finally have this test done and over with. I definitely owe a lot of thanks to everyone else on this forum. I probably spent at least 2 hours a night laying in bed reading stuff on here lol. My scores aren't insanely high like almost everyone else on this forum but here they are.

PAT: 20
QR: 20
RC: 22
Bio: 20
GChem: 22
OChem: 22
TS: 21
AA: 21

The printout says my TS and AA are in the 90th and 91st percentile respectively so hopefully I'll get some interviews. I'm a Texas resident so I have my fingers crossed for Baylor, Houston, and San Antonio. 3.7something overall gpa and 3.7something science gpa. Nowhere near the crazy amount of shadowing hours like everyone else on here but I have some. Sent in my TMDSAS app back in May and the AADSAS app almost 2 weeks ago. All my letters and transcripts etc are already in the system so the DAT scores should complete everything. Any idea as to how I'll hold up in Texas and with the out-of-state friendlies? I think I applied to almost all of them and it ended up being around 20 schools. Oh and I took it at the testing center on Harwin Drive in Houston, Texas if anyone else is taking it there and wants to know how it is. I'd be more than happy to answer questions about how I prepared and how everything went during the test. Just didn't think my scores would make others die to know what I did and how I did it lol. But feel free to ask away if anyone is interested.

Please let me know how the testing center was. I will be taking mine there. Did they give headphones? What was the environment like? Anything you think I should know before going in?

20's across the board is good! Above the average, and the average DAT AA for most acceptances too! I'd be extremely happy with those scores! Good luck this cycle!!

Ya they have a pair of headphones to cancel out noise in every testing station. You won't really need them though. The room was pin drop silent except for me because I was randomly sneezing alot for some reason haha and I don't have allergies or anything so I'm not sure where they came from. I don't have any complaints about the testing environment. I guess one bad thing is that if you run out of room on your laminated paper you have to get up and walk out of the room to the desk to get it switched out which would obviously cost you precious test time. But I had more than enough room with the 2 sheets front and back. The thin markers they give you will definitely dry out if you don't cap them often so be aware of that. Oh and if you haven't been there before I'd suggest leaving a little early and putting the address in a gps or something. There's no sign or anything on the road when you drive by so it's not the easiest place to find. Nothing else really comes to mind but if you have questions I'd be more than happy to answer them. If not, study hard and good luck!

Thanks! It's so hard to tell what a decent score is between forums like this where it seems the average score is like a 24 and then when you look at the stats some schools post and they say 18 to 19ish. But I am most definitely pleased with my scores and good luck to you too!

I sure hope so! Yupp if everything goes as planned I should be getting my bachelors after 2 more semesters. What about you?
