I took my DAT today after about 8 weeks of studying.
I was in shock when I saw my scores because I thought I did much better.
oh well. these are my scores and very depressed right now.

PAT 2😎 and rest are all 👎
BIO 17
GC 17
OC 18
RC 18 (fungi,motion,crocodile)
QR 16

TS 17
AA 17

I used destroyer at least 2x for each section except for math.
Read AP BIO 1.5x and some notes. Chad's video for Gchem.
Topscore 1,2,3, kaplan test 1,2,3 and CDP 5tests (I started off with 18 and then last one was 21)

I don't know what happened today. I thought I did much better..........=(
I know I def need a retake, but the earliest I can retake is Nov. and I don't know if that will be too late. But I should retake it since I've already sent out my application on July 2, paid all the secondary app. fees.
I got emails from the schools last month that they've received everything and all they need from me is my DAT score..but I SCREWED!!!!!!!!! :bang:
I sent out emails to few schools today and let them know my scores and asked for advice. I guess I will be getting replies from them soon..

I don't know what to do...=(

it's alright man, **** happens. the thing to do now is to focus on the task at hand and kill the test in nov. if everything else in your application is strong, you should get some interviews. if worst comes to worst, you'll just have to reappy. but just look ahead and don't worry too much.

yeah. I def need to kill the test in Nov!!!
Hopefully I get some interview tho..haha I doubt it but you never know. (just a hope..)

thanks!
 
You guessed wrong, my bet would be that very few schools will reply. Pick up the phone and call the schools, you'll get a much better response rate that way.
 
How were you doing on your practice tests? Do you think nerves got to you, just a bad test day, or not prepared? Anyone of those can be fixed by nov!! Good Luck
