Hey everyone, I just took my DAT today, but the scores I got for the PAT were no where near what I wanted and there is a reason why I got it.
Breakdown:
Perceptual Ability 14
Quantitative Reasoning 18
Reading Comprehension 19
Biology 19
General Chemistry 24
Organic Chemistry 18
Total Science 19
Academic Average 20
As I was halfway into the PAT during my exam today, the proctor came to me and told me that he had given me the wrong key for my locker and that I had to check out from my station and go with him so he can sort the issue. The conversation was happening and the clock was not stopped. He later turned off my computer and I went with him to fix the issue. When I came back to my station and continued with the PAT section, after a few minutes, the computer froze and the time was still running. I couldn't click on my answer choices and it logged me out. They had to move me to a new station so I could continue with my PAT section. However, I kept my composure and finished my entire exam.
I will definitely be filing a complaint, but I wanted to get your take on that score would look like on my application. Right now, the best I am hoping for is that they allow me to retake the DAT before the 3 month time so I can send my new scores, but then again that would be counted as a second attempt for my DAT.
