I took the DAT, on a Monday, back in August.

The true story...
I got hammered the Saturday night... When I mean hammered, I mean it in a BIG big way. Yeah, I know... F-ing stupid... Any who, that drunken night I was running on a slippery floor and, according to my roommate, pulled a classic banana peel fall. I was knocked out for a minute and finally came to.
Needless to say I had a mild concussion.

Come Monday my head still was about to explode... It felt like someone was blowing up a balloon in my head... I took a handful of Advil and did the damn thing.

Bio: 20 🙂
Chem: 20 🙂
OC: 23 😀
PAT: 19 🙂
RC: 18 😡
QR: 16 😱

As you can see after the break my scores were falling... well... Like me in a drunken stupor.

So... To the kids out there, here is my question.

Case A: Retake the DAT concussion-less

Case B: Not worry about it and when asked in an interview why such a low QR score, say "I needed to focus more on that section” (or something)...

Case C: Tell a white lie and say I was in a biking accident and had a concussion when I took the DAT.

I am a firm believer in honesty. It is, perhaps, a person’s finest quality, but in this case honesty is NOT the best policy....

Your thoughts on my REALLY bad decision...

I'd rock B).... Your scores were all good except the QR... and I wouldnt be worried about it cause it's around average... And next time you pull a risky business, watch that slide on the floor, you could blow out a hammie....
