I am using iPhone so I can't type much. My test was at noon. I think I did well.

I got
23/22/23 ts/aa/pa

=]

I prayed God to not give me the FRAP version. I did see something about fluorescence on the bio and freaked out, and turned out not to be FRAP question! didn't do so hot on RC though

here is breakdown
PAT: 23 99%
QR: 23 95.9%
RC: 18 39%
Bio: 24 98.7%
GC: 21 87.3%
OC: 23 93.7%
TS: 23 98.3%
AA: 22 95.9%

PAT: super easy. the paper folding was hella wacky, the holes do not match up. Keyhole kinda sucked too. I prepped it with Achiever. Really good source!d 100
QR: I didn't study for it. I thought it was hella easy. I had 15 min left over, so I double checked answers. I expected 100% but o well. 23 is still pretty good!
RC: Do not use Topscore or achiever for this section. I was scoring like 21-24 on those but ended up with 18. I was scoring like 15-17 on kaplan though. I say use KAPLAN!!!
Bio: Destroyer... In my opinion, you don't need schaum's. MCAT princeton review is more than enough, and destroyer+kaplan combo will work just fine here.
GC: I didnt know few questions 🙁
OC: Destroyerrrrr!

I saw so many questions from destroyer for Bio and Ochem. I think I saw at least 20 in SNS section.

It feels good to be done with DAT. Now I am going to go drink all night. 🙂

For practice tests, I got 16-20 on bio, 20-24 gc, 21-24 oc, 18-23 pat, 22-29 qr, 21-24 rc on achiever and topscore

[wkawk2416]

[sl2obel2ts]

yehhh. I dont work for nancy or dr. romano btw. I cant talk about the questions here, but I had some exactly the same questions word by word and some others really similar.

 

[wkawk2416]

thanks again, but for gen-chem,

kaplan and destroyer are not enough?

or do you recommend any other soucres besides destoyer

 

[sl2obel2ts]

for gen chem, I think kaplan and destroyer is totally enough. I just totally forgot about something during the exam. 🙁

Congrats!! Hopefully I can get scores similar to yours when I take my test in a few weeks 😀

By the way, how long did you study?

 

[harrygt]

WHat do you mean by "The holes don't match up"?
Was paper folding easy? what about hole punching? TFE?
Thanks

i have a full time job 40hrs a week. I started studyin in march like 5 hrs a week? I had no ochem or genchem for 5 years. so I read the whole Schaum's Ochem. I finished that around april. I started reading schaum's bio, that thing is really boring so I stopped and started reading kaplan and wiki. I finished that around May. I read kaplan for gc till end of march. I started working on destroyer and finished all by 2nd week of june. Then I used kaplan subject tests, topscore and achiever and started taking one test a day... it sucked! After work, I sat down infornt of computer from 6 to 12 taking the stupid practice test and going over wrong asnwers. I finished all the tests by last thursday, I made a list of questions that I got wrong from destroyer, kaplan, topscore and achiever. I went over those friday and saturday. I chilled yesterday. I went out to watch a movie 🙂 I ate sushi and nice food.

 

[Mamona]

congratulations those are pretty good scores...

 

[Bruinlove]

Studying for 4 months? 😱 What kept you sane?

 

[sl2obel2ts]

actually I started studying hardcore last 2 weeks. Before that was really chill on n off.

 

[Bruinlove]

Just being curious. What are you? Chinese? Korean?

 

[sl2obel2ts]

korean

 

[Bruinlove]

korean

Thought so! Now I really hope to see you on one of the interview days.😀

 

[allstardentist]

nice job

 

[sl2obel2ts]

Thanks guys!

I am finally home now (partied all night and went straight to work)! I just wanted to let you know how comparable the practice test scores are compared to the dat version i took. I kept track of my scores since day 1. I took all practice tests within 2 weeks prior to my test so the amount of knowledge that I had during the practice tests and my real test is very similar (except diagnostic).

kaplan dignostic (10/07) without studying
17 bio, 18 gc, 14 oc, 23 qr, 17 rc, 20 pat

kaplan natural science B (6/15), took it during lunch at work 😛
21 bio, 18 gc, 30 oc

kaplan blue book test (6/16)
21 bio, 25 gc, 21 oc, 20 pat, 19 rc, 29 qr

kaplan subject tests
6/16: 19 gc1, 20 gc1
6/17: 18 gc2, 21 oc2, 22 bio3, 19 gc3, 17 oc3
6/18: 18 gc4, 21 oc4, 20 rc1, 19 bio2
6/19: 19 rc2
6/20: 20 bio5, 20 gc5, 17 oc5

Then I started Topscore and Achiever
TS and AC ___bio/gc/oc/pa/rc/qr
TS #1 (6/21): 19/19/19/23/21/23
AC #1 (6/22): 19/21/23/18/22/29
TS #2 (6/23): 20/21/23/24/25/21
AC #2 (6/24): 18/19/19/23/22/24
TS #3 (6/25): 21/20/21/24/23/30
AC #3 (6/26): 16/23/20/21/21/23

ADA sample test (on website, 6/22): 21 bio, 23 gc, 28 oc, 24 pat, 21 rc, 30 qr

I think Achiever and Topscore bio was def harder than the real one. GC and OC were comparable. Don't be fooled by Topscore and Achiever RC! 🙁

 

[userah]

my god youre a beast haha. kudos on the excellent scores. i dont think youll have a problem getting in haha.

 

[Mstoothlady2012]

[sl2obel2ts]
