Hi, guys.
I just took DAT and got home. The length of taking DAT was extremely intensive. I want to give advice to those of you who never took DAT, practice with measuring actual time.
Here is what I have done and thought.
PAT 24
QR 17
RC 17
bio 20
GC 19
OC 19
TS 19
AA 18
Biolgy:
A lot of materials that I haven't covered came up on the exam. Time went so fast I didn't even remember what kind of questions they asked me. I guess the only way to get best score, to know everything in Campbell textbook.
GC:
When I did practice exams from Kaplan, Top score, Achiever, and KSF, I was pretty comfident how to solve questions. BUT, keep it mind that the condition can cause you to ruin the test atmosphere, which just happened to me. I was not sure what they asked me and concepts in my head were so confusing with something else.
OC:
Just like general chemistry. I just tried to pick my best with applying what I had in my head. The result was not very good.
PAT:
Holymoly. The questions were so easy, it was so obvious to catch the answer in one sight. I even went to the bathroom after taking exam(because I didn't want to waste my break time haha)
RC:
Oh my godness. The section, just like what I was worried. I am a poor and slow reader so I couldn't do jotting and writing down technique. I Looked at the questions and searched for the answers. It is kinda of shame to tell the truth. It was 26.3 percentile. I was really ruined. Maybe 7~8 questions I just picked the answers based on the questions and information what I have absorbed in that short moment.
QR:
When I took DAT last year, it was easy, but this time, the level of required to solve math problems, I guess, they changed. (maybe due to too many applicant?) Ah, acutally there was one thing that I was really annoyed that they provided me thick marker pen and board to calculate the questions.
It was hacking big I couldn't recognize what I have written a couple of time.
I was actually short in time. Definitely, they raised the level of QR part, I swear. It was not hard like this last year.
Overall, I am unsatisfied with my result.
I am feeling like wasting my time too much with unnecessary materials. Because, I did 5sets of Kaplan practice exam, Top socre, KSF, Achiever, and even destroyer. I studied about 8 weeks with all those, I don't know where I did misbehave.
Should I retake the DAT? I know there are now too many applicants these days, and this score is not competitive enough! But the thing is that it is torture to go through one more time with what I just finished.
Please show your ideas, Plz!
