I am currently preparing to take the DAT in early Sept. and I am working on VR. I am currently working through the Kaplan DAT book and doing the VR exercises. Is there any way to determine what the score would be on the DAT for doing a three passage test? Like what percent out of 50 questions = X score?

It doesn't have to exact but I am just trying to determine how well, or poorly 😀 , I am doing in this section so that I can plan my study schedule. It's just kind of hard not knowing what you scores equate to. I am not losing any sleep over the matter since I will be practicing much more between now and the DAT and taking actual full length practice tests, but if anyone had any info on the matter I would appricicate it.

You can find this information listed in the sample test provided from the ADA.
If your looking for an 18 you would need to answer 40.2% correct, 19 = 53.4%, 20 = 67.5%, 21 = 77.9%, 22 = 85.9% and a 23 = 92.3%.....

Hope this helps 🙂
