I'm applying this round, but haven't taken my DAT yet. :scared: This is really freaking me out. My plan now is to take it end of July.

My oGPA is 3.62
sGPA 3.38
BCP GPA is 3.63
Shadowing: 400 hours at general, endo, perio, ortho

Obviously, on the DAT i'm shooting for 30s 😛, but what should i be getting consistently on practice exams to decide i'm ready to take it for real? I'm so nervous! especially about the PAT.

I'm wanting to get into schools like Case Western or Indiana U. (I'm applying to 13ish, but these are my top 2 due to location.) I'm an Indiana resident.
 
It's hard to tell with practice exams because sometimes you never know if they're truly reflective of your final performance, especially for the bio section. For me, everybody on SDN said that TopScore was awesome but I found it not so accurate predictor for me.

Shoot for 22s or 23s, study really hard for about 150-180 hours. You'll have a great shot. Good luck!
