DAT Re-take :(

Well, I just re-took my DAT and disappointed would be an understatement...

Here are my scores:
PAT: 18
QR: 17
RC: 22
Bio: 17
GC: 16
OC: 17
TS: 17
AA: 18

My previous scores were:

PAT: 19
QR: 15
RC: 19
Bio: 19
GC: 16
OC: 18
TS: 18
AA: 17

I applied last cycle with no luck, which after my first DAT scores I wasn't surprised but I went along with the application process anyways. I am incredibly disappointed at my re-take scores, I felt 100 times more prepared taking it this time than I did the first time and all my practice scores were in the 19-20's range, which is why I felt confident enough to retake it. I am so upset about my scores because I worked SO hard to increase them, and this is what I got...

I used Chad's video's, Cliff's notes for Biology, DAT Bootcamp, DAT Destroyer and Crack the PAT (10 test version). I unfortunately had to work 2 jobs while studying for this test, but I took a little bit longer to study because of that. I really had no choice with the amount I had to work, but I feel like I did my best with my situation and it's really frustrating that I put in all this hard work to get scores like these.

I'll be starting the Master of Arts in Biomedical Sciences program in Midwestern later this month, but I hope my scores don't hold me back in the next application cycle. I'm not sure if/when I should re-take this test, so opinions are welcome!

What is your GPA? I have a couple friends that got in with an 18.

Where did your friends get in?

I went through the same frustrating moments! I had similar scores but my second DAT TS was 18 and AA was 17. I am still planning to apply this cycle and maybe retake the DAT later this year but I am not sure where I should apply yet..

CabbageKid my cGPA is 3.4 and my science is 3.0. I'm hoping to boost that with the masters program. Where did your friends get in?

VCU, but this was about 3 years ago! I think their average is around 19-20.

How are you studying? How many hours did you put in? Im surprised you went down with all the materials you've used.

Working two jobs was your biggest mistake. You cannot work and to the Masters at the same time. Take out a loan and just focus on school. Do the same thing when you are studying for the DAT.
