DAT Test Score 2015: 18 Reading Comprehension Score

[djb24]

I was wondering how much my Reading Comprehension score will hurt my admission chances. As ridiculous as this may sound, should I retake with my low RC score? I know that this is the most important section on the exam. My cumulative GPA and Science GPA's are 3.7.

PAT: 23
QR:22
RC:18
BIO:23
GEN CHEM:22
ORGANIC CHEM: 22
TS:22
AA:21

If anyones curious, I studied for two months using Bootcamp, Chad, Destroyer, Cliffs, CrackPAT. After using these materials, the real test felt very familiar. I highly recommend all of the above.

absolutely fine.

My scores are similar, but I made an 18 in some other section. You are good.

The general rule is if you made a 16 anywhere on the DAT, then it is a possible red flag. If you make 2 sub scores that are 17 or less, then it is definitely a red flag.

Considering your other high scores and good GPA, I doubt adcom will even notice the 18 RC.
