DAT jitters

I take the DAT in 7 days, and I am getting pretty nervous. I have been studying, but am averaging from 17-18 science avg on the topscore. I just finished organic II and it seems to be my lowest score on topscore. In the DAT registration packet I didn't miss one problem (30). The kaplan tests, I average a 25. Biology aslo makes me nervous. Guys, I guess I just need some of the veterans of the DAT to break the science down. Is it as basic as some people say, or am I in for a big suprise? Thanks guys and gals!!

It sounds like you are very well prepared. The TopScore science is notoriously more difficult than the real thing. You are gonna rock this test! 🙂

To clear things up, the scores I was talking about was only in organic(kaplan and packet). I average a 17 in organic on top score. Which is more like the actual test in o-chem, topscore or packet? thanks for the encouragement.

I don't really remember my scores on Kaplan, but I was getting ~15 science on TopScore and ended up with a 21 academic total.
Maybe someone else remembers the specifics of their Kaplan experience. 🙂 Good Luck.

I got the same for topscore, but actually scored 25 on my ochem and I was really shocked after I saw my real score. Hey, you are in very good shape. The real DAT is similar to the DAT in the booklet, not topscore.

Best of luck with your test, and let us know how well you do.
I bet that you'll get at least 21 for your average.
