SOOO RELIEVED its over, Here is my Breakdown:

Biology: 24
General Chemistry: 23
Organic Chemistry: 23
Reading Comprehension: 18
Quantitative Reasoning: 18
Perceptual Ability: 19
Total Science: 23
Academic Average: 21

Overall I m happy with my scores, my PAT went down from 22 to 19 but everything else went up 🙂 There was so much I wanted to go over and didnt have the time.
I used cliff biology, destroyer, Crack the PAT and MATH, KBB, Tope score and ADA 2009, and chad vidoes.
I didnt score this high on my sciences on the practice tests and kept scoring AA of 19.

Parvaz,

I am going to retake in Sep. Could you give me some pointers?

My last DAT:

Bio: 18
GC: 21
OG: 21
RC: 14 (this is why i am retaking it yuck)
QR: 19
PAT: 20

AA: 19, TS: 20


All I am doing right now: Barron, Destroyer 2011, Math Destroyer and Odyssey. Is there anything else I need to do?

lol I gave up on Crack Dat Science too. Totally irrelevant.

did you take the 2009 ADA awhile back? I'm just wondering why the discrepancy between your 2009 DAT and the real DAT. Thanks

You have pretty good score. The only RC practice i did was top score and ADA and I didnt score that high so I cant really give you any advice for RC. you just have to find a way that works for you. The first time I got a 17 and I tried to do search and destroy which made me so misrable and lost. This time I just read the passege and answered questions.
Here are my previous DAT scores:
PAT: 22
QR: 14 ----> reason for retaking
RC:17
Bio:19
Gchem:21
Ochem:19
TS:20
AA:18

My best advice would be dont take took long to take your test cause then you get into this loop where you get burnt out and start forgeting. Give it all you got for the last two weeks and you will great, you already have good scores.
