New Scores Today
PAT - 18
Bio - 20
GChem - 18
OChem - 22
RC - 20
QR -19
TS - 20
AA- 20
I studied for about 2 months. The first month was about 6-7 hours a day. The last month was 8-10 hours a day. I'm content with my scores but wish I had done better.
Bio - random as everyone said. I had a good amount of plant questions (so don't skip out on that chapter!). Materials used: Cliff's AP Bio and Barron's AP Bio
GChem - I think I got a hard version on this exam because I saw stuff that was not covered in Destroyer or KBB... I did not feel confident in this section to be frank. Materials used: Destroyer and KBB
OChem - straight forward for the most part. Seriously had like 3 technique questions. Thankfully I read the chapter in KBB before. Materials used: Kaplan BB and Destroyer
PAT: I personally felt it was harder than CDP in some sections.
Keyholes - slightly harder
TFE - harder for sure
Angles- a bit easier than CDP
Pattern Folding - easier than CDP
Cube Counting - easier than CDP
Pattern Folding - a bit harder because it was different
During the break I was feeling a bit down because I knew GCHEM didn't go as well as I wanted to. However before the exam I told myself to keep pushing and never surrender, because you'll never know what the scores will come out to be. I learned this from my first time taking it. The first time I took it I got owned in Bio and gave up the rest of the test basically. This time I wasn't going down without a fight...
RC: I used SnD on my first passage then POW!!! I see the ethics passage. I was like OMG you gotta be kidding me... I skipped it, SnD the other passage and came back and slowly read it and answered the Q's.
QR: Did Math Destroyer 1-7 and went over it many times. Can't complain with this score.
CDP scores: 18,18,18,18,20,20,20,21,19
Topscore Bio/GCHEM/OCHEM/RC (didn't do PAT and QR)
#1 16/17/18/20
#2 17/18/19/20
#3 21/18/19/*
Should I be worried about PAT? I know its an improvement from my old scores but its still not that great... I have a low GPA (2.95/2.8 BCP) however I completed a Masters in Biomedical Science with a 3.89 GPA (and with a strong upward trend in my last 2 years of undergrad as well.)
My GPA was REALLY BAD at 2.5 at one point and I have shown improvement in the last 3 years. I submitted already and schools are just waiting on my DAT scores. What do you guys think of my situation? Thanks again SDN!
