Finally done...

what I got.

PAT 27(100%)
QR 23(95.9)
RC 20(67.0)
Bio 20(87.4)
Gchem 29(100)
Ochem 25(98)
TS 23
AA 23

I took it at lake forest near irvine. it was very nice. the people there were friendly, and gave me lamenated yellow paper to write on.
But they gave me about 7 pages so i didn't have any trouble with that

Bio - got some really strange questions with a picture of a cell. also I got a lot of genetic engineering questions. I guess thats the trend.

g-chem o-chem - was about the same difficulty with most prep books.

QR- this part pissed me off. there was 3~4 questions that did not make sense. for example the answer was (A+B)/C but there was only A + B/C
in the answers. there was about 3 questions with this mistake.

Reading. - was so hard. after this I was so bummed I didn't want to take the QR section. my last passage was about morals and ethics (24 paragraphs...--😉 only about 5 questions asked directly from the readings.

Study prep books
everything I could get. (examcrackers, destroyer, kaplan, topscore... ) I was so freaked out after reading the posts here I bought everything I could get. actually examcrackers MCAT Bio helped the most.

Well I hope I get into a good school.

will it matter a lot because I am applying so late?

I would be more than happy to answer questions since I got so much help from here. (if I hadn't read posts here I would have took the test after going through the kaplan big book. I would have been surprised.--;

wow your scores are awesome. Congratulations!! 67% in RC and a score of twenty... it must of been a really tough section. In retrospect do you have any advice/strategies for the RC section or for that matter the entire test??

Congratulations on those amazing scores!!! Good luck on the rest of your app.

Which testing center did you take it at 0513 (Lake Forest)? I'm taking it there in a few days, and I called them and they said they only give you 2 sheets of laminated paper :-/... Did you ask for 7 or did they just give it to you?

I need to improve my PAT, Reading Comp, and Quant Reasoning scores. Any study strategy recommendations? For me speed is worse problem than accuracy. I envy your scores! Congrats ^^!

How hard was your PAT section compared to DAT Achiever PAT?

 

[Hajyee]

well first the PAT was not that hard.. just a few a hard angle problems.

The other PAT sections where more straight forward and clear.

For Bio. I didn't do so well so I'm not sure.. but if you have time I would suggest campbell bio and the exercise problems on the website. I only did a few chapters but it really helped.. I wished I did more.

But that takes a long time so I would suggest examcrackers lesson book (not the 1001 question book).

 

[jigabodo]

Holy cow!!!!!! You just OMGPWNed the DAT!!!!! Job well done!!👍👍👍

 

[Electrons]

Wow crazy scores! Awesome job! What would you have been surprised of? I'm curious what info was useful to you?

 

[smarterray]

excellent scores, man.

Haha I had that same passsage on RC...The whole thing definately sucked. And also on QR you are right, there were problems that I know I worked out correctly but the answer was not one of the choices. Are you supposed to estimate? Not to freak people out but RC is A LOT harder than Topscore I thought. I could not find anything in the passage. They are long. Oh well, you have AWESOME scores.

 

[i like dat]

awesome scores! i have never seen a 27 PAT before.
