Took my last and final DAT...i hope!

The last time I took it was 2 years ago and these are the scores.

PAT - 17
QR - 18
RC - 21
Bio - 18
GC - 16
OC - 16
TS - 17
AA - 18

I recently took it last week and here are my new scores:

PAT - 22
QR - 15
RC - 22
Bio - 26
GC - 19
OC - 22
TS - 22
AA - 21

The only thing I'm really worried about is my QR section. Also my gpa is 3.1 and 3.0 science. I applied to 22 schools and I'm just now getting everything in. Hopefully it's not too late.

Could you do a brief breakdown??
...especially your strategy for RC for both times...great scores

Here's a brief breakdown:

Biology - I read through Cliffnote's AP Biology and I felt like this covered just about everything you need for the biology section. I felt the Ecology and Plant section may have been a bit too in depth though. I also went through Destroyer 3 times and made sure I understood every answer.

Chem - Read Kaplan blue book and went through Destroyer questions twice.

Orgo - Read Kaplan blue book and went through Destroyer several times.

RC - Basically all I did was practice using Top Score tests. What I would do is read the first paragraph carefully to get an idea of what the paper is about. Then I would skim very quickly through the rest of the paper taking mental notes of key words. Finally just search and destroy.

PAT - I just used Kaplan and Top Score tests for this section. The previous time I had problems with time management. This time I just made sure I would delegate the right amount of time for each section (i.e. I didn't dwell on key hole or angle ranking and used the extra time for folding). Also make sure you tally up for cube counting. You do NOT want to miss any in this section.

QR - Don't think you guys want to take my advice on this section lol. But I just used Destroyer to study for this. I do think you should try and take full practice tests to build up your endurance. I was exhausted by the time I got to this section.

Good Luck!
