Hi Everyone,

I am tired from studies and feel like sharing my practice exam scores. I have found this forum very helpful and I hope to contribute a bit too. If possible, leave some feedback. I have 3 days before my DAT.

Those I am worried about:

BIO: I did terribly on Qvault, Bio Diversity and Phylum stuff are the hardest for me...I did ok on Topscore, not too bad on Achiever...what should I do...feel like being right b/t "not-ready" and "ready"

RC: I did terribly on CDR, good on easy Topscore RC and first two easy Qvault(21 and 20)....should I practice using achiever or just finish up CDR and Qvault?


I plan to focus on Bio for the next 3 days, and read through destroyer mistakes again. What do you think I should do too in the remaining days? Quite nervous now...

Anyone want to share some ideas...after doing the 3rd achiever, I feel really tired. I would say GC is too hard but still good. OC is crazy and questions are worded really tricky...PAT really kicked my butt but it was a good training...

I hope everyone taking DAT soon is doing great on practice exams. Time to call it night~maybe I will see some comments tomorrow...

you should do fine
and what you would do if your practice exam scores are too low? DAT cannot be prepared overnight
just keep studying like you did and relax the day before the exam

your practice exam scores are good enough don't worry

I think you're doing very well! Yes, I think focusing on bio would be good, but make sure to review GC and OC here and there too. Just keep reviewing over what you missed from your practice tests, and you will do fine. Keep it up, and good luck!

Thanks. I just looked at your break-down. You did so well, I hope I will be close 🙂

I will do that 🙂 congratz on your good score. I saw it yesterday.

DAT scoring system is quite scary...I got 5 mistakes once on GC and got 19....

Good luck!!!👍 Mine is actually on 31th. I didn't count the last day in. I hope you are doing great! Oh, remember to take a look at chads' math conversion and qvault's phylum under bio section, it may be helpful.

Thank you! And oh goodness, I know. I feared making just 2 mistakes, but while taking your test, just focus on each question, don't know it, mark an answer, and move on. Best thing I did for my test! I was nervous at first, but you kinda forget your nervousness because you start recalling things. And you're thinking "Hey! I know this!" haha.

For QR: I quickly memorized formulas the night before. I suggest that you both know law of sines/cosines and how to find amplitude and period of a function. And know simple trig identities! If you know these, you will get at least 8-10 questions that would otherwise be very difficult w/o knowledge of the formulas.
BIO: go over alan's notes night before to catch anything you missed. really saved me on a couple questions.

Good luck to the both of you!
