DAT done! First time: No destroyer, achiever, or topscore...

Hey guys,
I took the test that's been overshadowing my existence with fear and disdain for a long long time. I was supposed to take it LAST summer since that's when I applied, but due to personal life issues, I held off till now. I bought topscore but the damn thing wouldn't work, so I didn't use it. All I used was the kaplan blue book (-tests) plus the 5 kaplan subject tests for each of chem, orgo, and bio. That's it! I scored 20ish out of 30 on the orgo and chem tests and 35ish out of 40 on the bio tests. I have been so afraid, right up until tonight. Don't let people on here scare you out of your wits if you are smart. Only freak if you did it once and did really badly for an unkown reason. The stress has been paralyzing at times, and it was unnecessary I think, even for a procrastinator like me it was a lot to handle. I hope I still have a shot and an interview or two even though I'm so late. Here are my numbers:

PA 20 - the angles were ridiculous!
QR 17 - I ran out of time on the last 5 questions - pace yourselves!
RC 21
Bio 22
Chem 23
Ochem 20
TS 22
AA 21

Good luck to the rest of you! 🙂
And thanks to everyone who helped with big and small questions I had. SDN is family!

Kudos on the great scores!! Especially w/out those programs. I'll agree that angles are a b****. The only thing you can really do is prepare the best you can, and right before taking the test tell yourself that you've done all you can do and relax and hope for the best.
