How many questions in the real DAT can you get wrong in reading comprehension portion to get 18? What about 17?

I think you can get like 20 out of 50 wrong for an 18. Not 100% sure

No one knows. Each test is scaled differently depending on the difficulty of the questions in that test.

Artist2022 is right! And furthermore, the scaling also depends on the performance of other students. In short, it is extremely tough to answer the question you are asking. The better approach would be to aim to get every question right! 🙂

Your PATbooster was on point. Received a 19 on all 7 practice exams and received a 19 on PAT. Your exams were also way harder which was cool

I agree with all that's been said--focus on getting that 30 rather than aiming for a score you need to just get by. You may surprise yourself with how well you'll end up doing!

I took my exam a while ago and honestly felt like I was unsure about maybe 2-3 questions. final RC score was 22 so maybe i missed ~5 questions?

if it helps I was averaging about 20-24 on bootcamp. the reading was relatively similar. if youre able to finish RC on bootcamp and get 18, then just pickup your pace a bit in reading and go over the questions you were unsure of, i'm sure youll see improvements that way

Lmaoo it’s different for everyone. I just know when I took it the first time, I had two easy essays and 1 hard one. Got a 21. The second time I took the DAT, I had one easy essay and 2 hard ones, got an 18. I noticed how they change up the difficulty for everyone and it’s randomized. Also when I say “easy” I literally mean as simple as seeing the answer in your face. Some hard essays require you to actually think about the answer because of the questions not being straightforward.

Great response and I agree! Why focus on getting an 18 when a higher score is possible with practice and determination. #think30
