DAT Scores across each section

Hey guys I was just wondering, I know that some people have various types of scores. Two people who have say an AA of 20 can have different scores across each section. Like one can get a range of 19-21 or the other can get scores with one much lower, but some higher. (Ex, a 15 and some 25 that allows the AA to be 20)

How do you guys think these scores play a role? Would the person with scores that are closer in range be considered in a better standing?

I think as long as all your scores are at least 18 and your AA is at least 19-20 you can get interviews. Alternatively if you have like a 21AA or something but have maybe a 16 or 17 on a section you should consider retaking or at least calling schools you have interest in and seeing if it would be an issue.

It helps to stay within a small range because it shows consistency, but having a higher academic average always looks good on paper.

AA19 TS 19 PA 19
is not better than
AA23 TS23 PA 18


As long as all of your scores are no less than 17~18 ish, high scores on other sections is just gravy!
