haha time to party 👍 ....

i dont have my practice test scores with me at the moment. when i go back home i'll post them up, in comparison with the real thing.

PA-20
QR-22
RC-22
Bio-28
GC-25
OC-27
TS-29
AA-25

When I walked out, I literally was in shock as I was expecting 19s-20s on this test.

Bio-There were a few odd questions. I knew about 25-30 of the questions for sure. On the rest of them, I had really strong inclinations towards the answer (looks like they were right, lol). I wasn't expecting a 28 on this section. I guess practice as much as you can, and it'll pay off. Content wise, some of the questions were very simple. A few of them were a little strange, but nothing too complex at all.

GC-Wayyy easier than Topscore. Just review and you'll have it.

OC-Not too bad. Again, I wasn't expecting such a high score. Practice and let it help you, and be confident enough to go with your reasoning for an answer.

PAT-The angles kinda sucked! Other than that, nothing really bad. DAT Achiever is pretty good for practice on this section. It really drills you into paying attention into detail. Watch out for time on this section! Aside from angle ranking, nothing was too bad.

RC- Not too bad. A few of the inference type questions. I would suggest speed reading to get the tone and feel of the passage. I made very brief outlines of each paragraph (pretty much just the topic of the paragraph). This helped me to read more critically and actually see what the author was saying, which pretty much helps out a lot. Again, watch out for time.

QR- Pretty easy.....nothing too bad. It can catch you off guard if you dont practice, though


Overall, I feel the need to give some advice since last week I was on here looking for the same thing, and a lot of your posts helped me out a lottt...I just feel like it's my turn to contribute a little. My biggest advice is RELAX. Don't freak out and do two full lengths the last few days before your test. I didn't do any studying for two days before my test. You can't run a marathon a day after you just ran one. Give yourself a break so you dont burn out in the real thing. Personally, I studied just the Kaplan Blue Book (with a little bit of reviewing my text books). After that I just drilled myself on practice tests. I used DAT Achiever, Topscore, Kaplan (the practice test in the CD and in the book), and the ADA exam.

Anyways I'm tired of typing and I needa go party so catch you guys later 👍 😀

WOW!!! awesome scores. You expected 19-20s on this test and your in the mid to high 20s. That's great. How do you get a 28 in bio?? I am most worried about bio, and OChem. For OChem was it the common reactions, or did you get weird questions? I am taking the test on Friday. I also studied the Kaplan Blue Book and did those 2 tests, and DAT Achiever. Am I missing out a lot by not doing Topscore? 🙁 I am just drilling myself on tests and trying to remember as MUCH as I can (Especially bio). So you didn't think the QC was so bad?

Wow- I am aiming for anything above 20 at this point, 22-23 would make me happy. If you expected 19-20's and got those scores..all I can say is wow. Great job, you go out and party cuz you deserve it 👍

FIRST OFF: CONGRATULATIONS!

I know you must be exhausted, you don't have to answer right now, but if you do get the chance, please do. You said that the DAT is not that bad, and so have others. In fact, a lot of people have said it's easier than any practice test. But how much easier? I'm finding practice tests very hard.

Thanks

I personally thought the DAT was really easy. Grats to OP, go party, snort lines of coke.

 

[Flipper405]

Hmm, how does it work that your TS is higher than any of your individual scores? 😕


Congratulations, btw. 👍

 

[mochafreak]

Very sweet scores.

vikings....first of all, Awesome scores and congrats!!!! For the RC section do u think reading the question and searching for the answer is a good strategy or should i try and read the actual passages...since i have heard that some questions ask u about analyzing the passages...thanks.

 

[lida]

Please Please tell me what is the Sea Urichin question about? 😕

 

[vikings022000]

about the ts being higher than each of the three sections....that confused me at first too, but then i found out it's not a straight average of the three. i guess they take natural sciences section as a whole and see how much you go right of the 100 questions? i dont really know at this point i dont care, lol. guys i'll come back on tomm. to answer your ?s about my prac tests because im not home and so i dont have those scores with me.

it depends on the passage really. i had one about some stocks that you could just go straight to the questions. however, i had one about the parasympathetic system which i couldn't answer without reading the passage. so, really, it depends on the kind of passage you get i think.

i would go into the test in the mindframe that it's just like a topscore test. if you're getting a 19 on topscore, dont expect a 29/dont aim for a 29. i think for me i had no anxiety during the test. i was just aiming for a 19, and happy with it. instead of freaking out and getting too caught up i just flew threw the material. i would say the ada practice test is a good indication of what your scores will be like (if you take it under the time limit).

 

[vikings022000]

No, i didn't think the QR was too bad at all. I don't think you're missing out by not taking Topscore...I'm just saying it worked out for me. Again everything i'm saying is my own opinion. in my opinion i would just take a lot of practice tests for bio and know everything in the kaplan blue book.

 

[syn_apse]

how do you get a hold of the ada test? jsut call them or go to a website?

thanks and rock on with your scores!

 

[Richnator]

Congratz man. Right now I am pulling my hair out of anxiety because the DAT scores just keep going up and my highest score in topscore is only a 21 on quantitative reasoning. I hope I can pull off similar scores as you, but then again I need to work on my PAT and speed which usually throws me off in the reading comprehension section.

Congratz Again!!

 

[Comet208]

Those are probably the highest scores ever seen on SDN. CONGRATS!!

 

[onetoothleft]

Congratulations!! 👍

thanks and rock on with your scores!

Yea, I'm interested in this as well.. Can you access it immediately online? Or do you have to wait until they mail it, in which case I may not be able to use it since my test is next Tuesday.

Congrat!!! awesome score!

Could you share your pre-test score?

Thank you 🙂

 

[Late Night]

thats a major torching on the exam ...holy smokes. Where do you want to go ? Harvard ?

 

[vikings022000]

i dont know i will apply to harvard but im not sure really where i want to go. i dont really care about prestige and all that crap, i jus wanna have a good experience wherever i may end up. honestly i wasnt thinking about torching the exam...i treated it jus like any other practice exam and was jus relaxed n calm throughout the test. the following are my topscore and dat achiever test results. i must say some of these practice tests were taken when i wasn't completely focused. still, i would expect your scores to go up from both topscore and dat achiever on the real thing.

Topscore 1:
bio-19
chem-19
oc-18
pat-20
qr-19
rc-21

Topscore 2:
bio-21
chem-17
oc-20
pat-22
qr-20
rc-21

Topscore 3:
bio-19
chem-18
oc-18
pat-21
qr-22
rc-21

DAT Ach 1:
AA-19
pat-16
qr-17
rc-22
bio-18
gc-19
oc-18
ts-18

DAT Ach 2:
AA-16
pat-17
qr-18
rc-19
bio-16
chem-17
oc-17

Dat 3:
AA-19
pat-15
qr-19
rc-22
bio-16
gc-17
oc-18

so in the end my reflection is that dat achiever is harder than topscore, which is harder than the real thing. on test day none of this should matter, just relax and give it your best shot. dont worry about anything else
