NO THAT DAT IS NOT GRADED ON A CURVE! The MCAT is which is why it takes so long to get it back but the DAT you get your score right after you finish. Its straight up how many questions you get right or wrong per section

The MCAT has essays, which is why it takes so long to get them graded.

The scores for the DAT are "standardized" which, technically, means that it is graded on a curve. Yes, the number of questions you get right or wrong determines score and percentile, but your scaled score of 0-30 is based upon the percentage of students that get that right or wrong.
