I just finish DAT today. Thank you for all of your support!

PAT 17 🙁
QR 20 (95.1%)
RC 15 🙁
BIO 19 (83.5%)
GC 22 (95.2%)
OC 25 (98.4%) 🙂

TS 21 AA 20
GPA: 3.85

I am happy with my score in science but feel too bad with PAT and especially RC (of course, English is my second language). My problem is the time. I used Crack the PAT and always score more than 20 but some how I ran out of time in the real test. In last two parts, I don't even look at the questions and just choose the answers 🙁 Do they really have a cut point for RC. Should I apply? and how many school should I apply? Thank you.

As much as you dont want to hear this... write the DAT again.

Your science scores are really good but RC and PA are important sections and you must improve those scores if you want to give yourself a good chance of gaining admission.

Do all the test from crack dat pat... then do all the tests again.

For RC it is unfortunate that English is your second language because that seems to be the major barrier you will have to overcome in order to do well in this section.

When I did the RC section I read the first paragraph of the passage in order to get an idea of what the passage was about then I read the first 3 questions and I tried to answer them using the search and destroy method. Then I moved on to the next 3 questions. Any questions that asked for the opinion or inference I left those till the end.

Hope this helps and good luck

i agree with predent2301, you should prob take the DAT again cause most schools care about your RC and PAT scores, and ur 15 prob won't make the cut for many of them
