DAT grading/scoring scale?

Does anyone know how many questions can be missed (roughly speaking) to get in the 20's? In other words, if there is 30 questions in the OChem section, how many questions would I need to get correct in order to pull 20 or above? Is there a scale? Thanks in advance!

some books (like kaplan) provide a chart that convert raw scores (number you got correct) into scaled scores.

I think for O Chem, it's something like 3 or 4 out of 30, i'm not sure

I think the scales change with respect to difficulty of the test, your O Chem scale might be different

am i right?

i heard that the score depends on how good other people do who take your same test...but this wouldnt make sense because what if you are the first person to take that one...maybe they have like trials before it is released or something...but i know it does change with every test...for example, on my ochem section i got a 20 but i thought i freaking aced it so im sure i only missed a couple questions but since it was easy im sure alot of people did better so that is why mine is considered a 20..I THINK!!!
