[QUOTE="t00thache, post: 8444398, member: 275781"] Hey guys, thanks for the replies. So do you think my PAT score is okay? I think it's really low, especially when you look at the "entire package." I shudder to think what my dad's going to say when I tell him...:scared: As for the math, I just read the entire math section of the Kaplan Blue Book and did a bunch of practice tests from the Kaplan Blue Book and the Barrons DAT review book. I never scored a 29 before on the math though in any of my practice tests, I was really shocked!!! But not really as much as the RC score because I never got higher than a 21 on RC practice tests and to go from 21 to 25 is really a great leap.... My Bio, GChem, and OChem scores were all lower on the Kaplan and Topscore practice exams. In fact, I got an 18 on Topscore Bio yesterday and was freaking out, but I guess today's exam was really easy. I'm sure the PAT section was really easy too but I am just hopeless at that sort of stuff and I kind of freaked out when I saw how hard the hole punching really is on the real DAT. My practice scores for PAT were 18 and 19 on the two Topscore tests I took so I was hoping for at least an 18 but at least I didn't get a 16! My advice for QR is to read the entire section of the Kaplan Blue Book because they offer a lot of helpful "tricks" and tips, then take a practice exam and look at the type of question of each one you got wrong (or got lucky on when you guessed) and then do a bunch of problems on that "type" of question again. For example, if you miss all the trig questions, just go find a trig worksheet online and do a thousand million trig problems until you can get them all right in under a minute. But then again, some people are just naturally stronger at math, and also it depends on the difficulty level of the actual exam. I totally did not find today's DAT difficult at all, except for PAT, which is my known weak point. I just hope my low PAT score doesn't stop me from getting into UCSF of UCLA :( [/QUOTE]
