Took the test this morning and I know most people on here only post 22+ but heres my scores. Hopefully this will make some people feel better that have gotten similar scores.

PAT-19
QR-17
RC-19
Biology-18
Chem-20
Ochem-21

TS:19
AA:19

Kinda bummed out about my scores but I did study really hard for a month while taking biochemistry. Do I have a shot this cycle? GPA is a 3.4. I work for an oral surgeon and have shadowed 5 different types of dentistry. Comments really appreciated.

Quick Breakdown
Bio- I haven't taken freshman bio since I took AP in High School. I neglected this in my studying (as shown in my score) because there was so much information.

Gen Chem- Chad The Bald Headed Legend- Only thing you need. Gen Chem was a little harder because I forgot where the metalloids were... and there was a few calculations and concepts I wasn't sure on.

Ochem- Chad, know what DIBAL does and also know every case on the most acidic hydrogen. I got a really hard one on that. One lab technique I had never even heard of before.

QR- I did the Destroyer questions once, should have done them more. This section was hard because I was tired at this point

Also got bootcamp, a little harder than the real test but very helpful.
Bio 19,15,17,15

GenChem 17,17,19

Ochem 15,17,17,19

You have a decent shot you are just slightly below average for gpa and dat but it looks like you have some good ec's. What did you use to study?

Your DAT scores look like the average scores of accepted students, and your GPA is a bit lower than average so as long as you have good LOR/personal statement/ECs/etc. then you should be alright. 🙂

I have very similar scores except the PAT hence I'm thinking about retaking it. In the mean time I have to come up with a game design for a game I'm working on which may or may not improve my pat

This is fine. Just make sure you practice interview questions.
