Okay, I have a pretty simple question but still think it's important.
I know the "Survery of the Natural Sciences" has 100 questions with 40-bio, 30-gchem, 30-ochem.
&
I know the PAT has 90 sections with 6 different sub categories, each consisting of 15 questions (6x15=90).
BUT..
Are these questions grouped together such at there are 40 consecutive bio questions, then 30 consecutive ghcem questions and then 30 consecutive ochem questions ?
Or
Are all the questions just mangled together and there are a total of 100 science questions without any specific order to the questions?
If the questions are grouped in consecutive subject blocks of questions then what is the exact order of the sections? Or do the sections vary test to test?
Does the test follow this order exactly?
Lastly, are the 10 Word Problem math questions the last 10 math questions or are they all mixed together??
I realize my question can probably be answered by taking the practice DAT test provided by the ADA but I believe I could better utilize the practice test if I had a better understanding of the test structure prior to taking the test!
