DAT Score Percentiles

[Hnl7]

This question comes up a lot. Here is a link to the [ADA.org](https://ADA.org) DAT User's Manual

http://www.ada.org/~/media/ADA/Education%20and%20Careers/Files/dat_users_manual.ashx

Go to page 20 regarding AA Percentiles. the most recent column is 2018.

For 2018

20 = 71.5

21 = 81.4

22 = 88.7

23 = 93.8

Good luck all!

Is it true that test-repeaters tend to do worse the second time around? It shows that the AA/TS scores tend to drop after repeating the test.

I guess it depends. If first time taker scores low score such as below 17, then second time will more likely score higher after better preparations.
If a person scores same or higher than 21, then it will be harder to achieve higher score or possibly score lower/dropped in this case.

I was following up with it and the data ADEA reported on scores show that that AA/TS and other sections were lower than the first time.
