Sorry for the late post, I had 2 tests within 4 days after my DAT...which I failed the two tests miserably. SOO, onto my scores + materials used
Materials used: Cliff's 2x, Kaplan BB 2x, wikipedia, Destroyer 3x, Topscore, Achiever, Kaplan tests, destroyer odyssey
Bio: 21
GChem: 24
OChem: 24
QR: 17
RC: 17
PAT: 19 ---??? Duno what the hell happened here...
TS: 23
AA: 21
BIO: 50 minutes
Even though its a 21, I'm very very disappointed in my score because it was my strongpoint. I can't tell yall how hard I studied for this ******ed section. Not to scare yall but, my section was ridunkilously hard. The straight forward questions were either over tiny specifics (for example and this was not actually on it...the choices would have like Type 1 alveoli AND type 2 alveoli...seriously who knows this sht) or were worded in some weird way where I had to read it 3 times and then I thought to myself how all the choices were WRONG. According to my test, know your sht inside and out. Basics won't help. Destroyer bio won't destroy anything.
By the way, I honestly only scored a 21 because I had to guess on literally 1/3 of the problems, and I guess I got lucky.
-Best advice, don't stick on one question for too long, either you know it or you don't. And if you end up with a hard bio section like me, don't let it kill your pace.
CHEM: 20 minutes
Surprisingly A LOT easier than expected and A LOT less time consuming than all the practice tests. Like everyone says, know your basics cold. BUT ALSO, the chem section is VERY SIMILAR to all the easy questions on the praactice tests.
Destroyer chem was awesome here
Kaplan subject test/tests were even better--make sure you go over every answer even if its right
Kaplan BB ...don't look at this crap
Topscore/Achiever were also very very good, although Achiever did not resemble the real thing at all it was good practice
ORGANIC: 20 minutes
I started this stupid subject from scratch (my organic class was set up where you can ace it without knowing anything), so if I can do it, anyone can. I HIGHLY recommend Destroyer Odyssey. Don't spend too much time on it, just breeze it and give yourself just two whole days. I started with the odyssey and didn't know sht, after I finished it, I felt like an organic pro. Then I moved onto the Destroyer organic and did it slowly. Then I moved onto kaplan subject tests + full length tests + Topscore and they all seemed like a breeze. Then I moved to the Achiever and wanted to slit my wrist lol.
Destroyer odyssey was awesome
Destroyer organic was awesome
Kaplan subject tests + full lengths were awesome - very much resembled the real thing
Kaplan BB was a waste
Topscore was good..
Achiever was good..
PAT:
I was consistently averaging 23-25 on CrackDatPat so iono what happened here. All I can say that it was identical to CrackDatPat. I even saw some repeats. Take your time and don't choke
QR:
I doubt you want to take my advice on this lol. It was easy, just didn't study for it. But everything I saw highly resembled Destroyer + Topscore + achiever. If you understand these 3, you're golden.
RC:
Search and Destroyer baby! I did a lot of searching and obviously no destroying!! I felt very very confident up until the 3rd paragraph..the first two were so easy, but I'm assuming I missed most of the 3rd's questions.
I had the disease essay, spinal cord essay, and some stupid essay about bridges...I HATE BRIDGES NOW! haha
Practice tests incase anyone wants to compare with theirs (I only did sciences)
These are estimates
Kaplan subject tests: ~21-30 all subjects
Kaplan BB: ~26-28
Kaplan full length test 1, 2, 3: ~23, 23, 25
Kaplan midterm: ~21
Kaplan Final: ~21
Topscore 1, 2, 3: 24, 20, 18
Achiever 1, 2, 3: 22, 19, 17
Also a my chances question to: UOP, USC, NYU, Baylor, Houston
GPA/Sci: 3.5/3.48 texas resident
AADSAS submitted mid august? All schools have my materials, BBUUTT my LOR are on the way right now...which worries me alot since they're late
So please, if any advice about my chances I would greatly appreciate it!
