    A question came up in my Kaplan class the other day about how to score the DAT. As far as I understand it your AA = (Bio + GC + OC + RC + QR)/5
    Is that right? A couple guys were trying to convince me that the PAT was included in the AA.... I have crunched the numbers and I don't see how that is possible...

    With 100% certainty, PAT is not considered in the AA calculation.

    Its my understanding that the AA is as you describe. PAT is not included and TS is BIO, GC, OC with bio having a higher weight as it is 40 questions vs. 30 for the GC and OC.
