DAT score conversion chart

[JustwantDDS]

Hi guys,

I'm just sitting here thinking about how many you need to get right in each section for a certain score and I looked up a conversion chart....

is this only one thats out there http://www.ada.org/sections/educationAndCareers/pdfs/dat_estimate_score.pdf? and ...im kind of confused by the dashes- what does that mean?

it simply means such a score is not possible. for example 30 is not possible for bio. only 29 is. miss one question and you go from 29 down to 26.

the thing is that score conversion is meant only for that test.

given that it is now computerized I wouldn't be surprised if they can generate a standard score based on exactly which questions you got, they wouldn't even have to have one done for question sets.

It means you can't get that score for that particular test.

So even if you got 40/40 on bio, your standard score will be 29.
