whewwww! glad that's over with! Reading Comprehension was slightly more difficult than I expected (I did Topscore for practice, and the questions in the real DAT were not as straight forward.) I wasn't that strong with RC to start with anyway. also, the passages in the real DAT were longer than Topscore. Top Score usually have 12~14 paragraphs, and the real thing had like 18 paragraphs.
The passages were on: asteroids/comets, brain imaging and neuro-receptors.
Bio had a few animal development questions that I wasn't sure of, and like 2 or 3 classification questions (one of which I didn't know for sure). Gen chem was okay, wasn't sure about a few as well. Orgo was straight forward, and didn't give me any trouble. By the way, I also had the sea urchin question in bio, so i guess they love to ask that question.
PAT: angle ranking was a pain. Hmmm, the rest of it was alright. I think if the angle ranking was easier, i would've scored higher (not that i'm complaining!)
quantative reasoning: not too bad, i actually had like 3 minutes to spare after i was done. Quite a few algebraic manipulation questions and a few on trig. Buncha word problems, but very basic probability questions. So thank goodness!
On TopScore, i was averaging 21 on Bio, 17 on gen chem and 19~20 on orgo, so the real test is definitely easier. I average 21 on PAT on Topscore, 21 on RC and 19 on QR, so only RC was lower than my practice scores. 3 months of preparation definitely pays off!
[edit] for bio, know your osteocytes and osteoblasts. I was tested on that, and i got it wrong.
