AA: 20
Total Science: 21
O Chem: 20
G Chem: 20
Biology: 24
Reading: 20
PAT: 14 🙁
Quant: 14 🙁

My PAT and Quant are low but hopefully my GPA will balance them out. My non science is 3.9 and my science is 3.6

I am pretty happy nevertheless.

I believe that some schools have a minimum score cutoff point, and 14 might be too low for consideration. I hope that I am wrong, because you scored great on the sections that count the most.

Good Luck!

thats just sad, your science scores are so awesome, but your PAT and quant scores just screw it all up.....your GPA is good, but like the other person said it all depends on which univ.s have cutoffs. If your pat and quant were even 18 or something you would be in an excellent position

Since you did fine on most parts, I would recommend you study hard for the PAT and quant, review little for the other parts and retake it. That way when you apply you don't have to be stressin about those low scores

Your scores are great!!! Please do not take the DAT over again unless you have to (i.e., University of X requests that you take the DAT over.). MY DAT scores were lower, but I get accepted into 4 out of the 5 schools I applied to.

bro, you got lucky....if you got in with scores lower than 14 on any section

The PAT is one of the scores that a lot of schools will look at. While many will let a low score, such as a 16 or a 17 sometimes slide, a 14 is very low. I don't want to sound pesimistic, but those two scores will really drag your application down - and it's sad because the rest of your scores are awesome. You may want to consider retaking the test just to improve those sections. Best of luck!

at least it is math and pat= areas where u can have improvement very quickly.


if i were u, i will definetely retake the DAT because i am sure that from 20/14, u can easily get 22/19 or even higher

My advise is to count on acethedat and DAT Achiever for PAT solutions as these are the only two guides that will give students the right feel of the supposed difficulty. Also, DAT Achiever is the only guide that I know of that features complete 3D explanations. You can download a DEMO version from its website and take a look for yourself how cool the animated models may be.

I believe you must have been running out of time for the QRT. Have you been using calculator alot during your preparation or missing out preparing certain important sections specified by the ADA? 😕
