Took the DAT and Received:
BIO: 20
GC: 23
OC: 24
PAT: 24
RC: 26
QR: 17
TS: 22
AA: 22

BIO: a lot of questions that i had never seen or even studied.

GC: The questions were slightly tweeked from the way CHAD or DAT DESTROYER has them.

OC: Simple stuff most from the 1st sem ochem.

PAT: The only way to prepare for this section is with CRACK DAT PAT. The real DAT angles and pattern folding on my exam were much harder than i had seen before.

RC: The only way that I found to score good on this section is to practice CRACK DAT READING (Just for timing on the reads: the questions on CRACK DAT READING are not the same type on the DAT.) And TopScore's Readings (TOPSCORE has the best representation of the reading section i have seen or practiced. The question types are similar and the format is similar.)

QR: I felt like the questions were MUCH MUCH harder than the DAT DESTROYER. I would recommend probably getting the MATH DESTROYER because the real DAT questions 🙂thumbdown) were HARDER.
 
CDR i started with low scores of 18 but worked up to 22's. TopScore I got a 16, 17 then 18 (AA's). I was a little scared about the scores from topscore but after reviewing them i figured out i was making stupid mistakes. The first score was before I really started studying, the second mid study and the third was the last week before.

I really recommend that you work hard on the readings from Topscore because they really are just like the readings on the DAT. The questions are really close to the same thing. The questions on CDR are more of "How does the Author feel?" and "This Article would be most likely to appear in?" I just felt like CDR was best just for timing your reading and not answering questions.

I took an ADA test i cant remember what one but those scores were 18 bio, 26 gc, and 25 oc didnt do the reading or the math on that one.

I took a few Crack DAT Bio's and was scoring way way low.... like 16s. (i scored a 16 on bio on every topscore test.) I used Cliffs Bio and notes from my Zoo 1 class and physiology class to study for this section..... (Wish i would have taken Zoo 2.)

The QR on all my practice tests mainly stayed around a 18 (16-20 range) the calc on the DAT sometimes was not very good so i think it might have slowed me a little because i had to guess on the last 6 on the real DAT.
 
It scares me when you say the math is much harder. I swear i cannot get through one just one exam on math destroyer without getting a 17. I am talking about a brand new one i have never seen before. Of course you get better at the same exam you keep doing. A new one is my issue. This $ht is killing me..

wth did you do for practice?
