Done with DAT, how do these scores look?

BIO-18
GC-20
OC-20
PAT-19
RC-22
QR-15👎confused:😱
AA-19
TS-19

bio- shocked me a bit as questions were much more in depth and just took me awhile to get settled down i usually scored alittle higher on practice tests
GC- pretty simple straight forward questions, not many calc's
OC- straight forward questions with alot of reactions
PAT- angles and hole punches are alot harder than kaplan/topscore, everything else pretty much same
RC- pretty easy, i thought i did a lil better than 22
QR- yeah i got beat up here. End of test and wasnt prepared with writing on laminated paper and thick dry erase markers.i usually scored between 18-20 on practice tests. Panicked and didnt time myself well. I know this 15 sticks out pretty bad but what can i do?

with average GPA, good amount of volunteer and shadowing, some solid LORs, and 27-29 schools applied to, how does it look?

I heard a kid wid similar scores as you even with the QR score got accepted to SUNY StonyBrook. U shud be gud man!
 
You're straight, no worries.

Everybody is getting banged on QR, it appears.

You applied to lots of schools. LOTS. Just relax and get practice interviewing. Lots of practice.
 
I wish those were my scores.
I have similar scores (19/19/18) but your RC and QR switched around. I'm pretty sure u'll get in somewhere b/c it seems like schools do not really care about QR.
 
the only thing that may hurt you a bit would be the Bio. Other than that, you look fine.
 
What sources did you study from?

man same thing happened to us on QR. I got a 16. I was freaking about it too
 
hey you did great! congrats! the math is probably the least important of all the sections so you should be fine. I don't know if there is any reason behind the lower score in QR (i.e. mental fatigue, math is your worst subject, etc.) be sure to explain that to the admissions officers if they ask.
 
Yeah you should do fine, since the QR was the only weak score amongst you other really nice scores. How'd you prepare for RC? Just Kaplan and Topscore?
 
RC i was using kaplan and topscore to test myself but i scored 21 and above on the practice tests, even the kaplan diagnostic.
