So I just got home, watching some Boy Meets World and eating Bojangles. DAT went well. Here are my scores...

Bio 18 (83.7%)
Chem 23 (96.4%)
Orgo 20 (88.9%)
QR 23 (97.9%)
RC 22 (91.7%)
PAT 20 (95.5%)

TS 20 (93.1%)
AA 21 (96.6%)

Topscores:
Bio 17/15/16
Chem 19/17/18
Orgo 19/17/18
PAT 20/19/19
RC 20/19/19
QR 20/19/21

Achiever:
Bio 15/14/14
Chem 14/13/15
Orgo 13/15/14
RC 17/18/20
QR 19/18/20

I also took all 5 subject tests in Orgo and Bio from Kaplan that I found online and did the 2 Kaplan tests from the blue book and ADA sample. I learned a lot from everything I took. I thought the whole thing was generally easier than any practice I took and I saw a lot of the same/same type of questions. I did get the cheetah question! And the financial/stock reading! I wish I could have done better with bio, but I really taught myself all the bio this summer cause I only knew about 20% of it when I started studying. Achiever Chem freeked me out cause I was doing so many calculations but the Topscore one calmed me down. I am really happy about RC because I am a really bad reader. Im happy to answer any general questions....


In the mean time I have to go move into my dorm or at least make the first couple of trips.....

Congrats!! Great scores...what was your RC method and what kinda quesitons were on the QR...thanks

What is this cheetah question? Ive heard it mentioned a few times but I havent gotten any word about what the answer is or what topic it covers.

 

[allstardentist]

you will know it if u get the question on the test.

 

[IzzyMarieDMD]

Wow good job! You have given me hope, lol. My topscore scores are almost the same as yours were so hopefully I can do as well as you.

RC- For this section I think what worked best for me was sitting down and really trying to make these readings seem exciting and interesting so that my eyes didnt glaze over too much. I skimmed the passage enough to know the general topic of each paragraph and then started going through each question and looking them up in the passage. I think its also important not to only look for for a key word and answer the question, but to also read the surrounding couple sentences and maybe look into the next paragraph to make sure you got all that was said on that topic.

QR- Math has always been really simple for me. I was running out of time on Achiever but these calculations were so simple. I think the time constriction is what makes this section hard, but there were no suprises as far as problem types after doing Topscore and Achiever.

The Cheetah question is basically directly from Achiever about genetic equilibrium.

Any other questions?

I just took topscore 2 QR and I noticed that it was almost exactly like topscore 1 qr but with different numbers. Did you get problems with compounding interest and probability involving nCr? Or were they mostly easy algebraic calculations?

 

[shainapunim]

I got neither, one probability and it was very easy. I got both those things wrong on my practice TopScores and made sure to know it anyways, it cant hurt right? Ya never know if your test may have it.
