ok.... so I got to the prometrics early and started the test early.
By the end of bio section no frap so I was slightly happy but then bam! piano.
Honestly I thought the RC was fun and not bad at all, but apparently I must of got all of those subjective questions wrong.
2nd DAT
PAT 20 (+2)
QR 18 (+1)
RC 15 (-3)


BIO 20 (+2)
CHM 23 (+5)
OCHM 20
TS 20 (+1)
AA 19 (+1)
Overall, all my scores went up except RC but still..... pissed...
I would do a breakdown but you guys already know how it is, we have plenty of awesome breakdowns on SDN.
Breakdown.
Bio = freaking random. again, freakin random. full of applicational questions which you need to know the facts and know how to analyze the given data. For materials, I used Cliffs, Shaums, destroyer, and some textbooks. My take on the Destroyer is that it's not the bomb shizzle as everyone keeps on saying, it's just ok, it's just good for factual stuff.
Chm = got lucky I thought I was bombing it.
Ochm = I did have some random things which bothered me. I thought it would be easier.
For Chem and Ochm I didn't really study as much because I was focusing on the bio section, but what helped me was that I did supplemental instruction for the summer gen chem and ochm2 class.
PAT = same difficulty as CDP = I think I just got more nervous and couldn't think. My average CDP 21 and topscore I scored 22.
RC = not comparable to anything. so nothing really you can do other than be awesome??
QR = umm.. I thought I was gonna get a 10, there was like 23423423 word problems. I just kept it consistant with my c's.
For my application status, I received 2 interviews so far with my old scores and the rest of the schools are waiting on my new DAT scores.
I really wanted to interview at Columbia but not sure if those scores will pull through, but hopefully I can interview at U of M and UDM since those 2 schools are within my state.
Good luck to all of you who still needs to take the dat.
oh yea, what do you guys think on retake? I am really bothered by my RC score. Let me know what yall think.
