O.K. guys I'm DONE!!!
I was very surprised at how simple the questions were. I really thought I was going to do much worst than I thought.
my scores are BIO 21 GC 20 OC 21 RC 19 QR 14 AA 19 TS 21 PA 20. I dedicated my life to this test for about a month or so. I would strongly advise anyone who has not taken the test yet to RELAX RELAX RELAX. A few of my friends were taking the OAT and others were taking the MCAT and here I was the only one out of the bunch taking the DAT (so I didnt have anyone to advise me on what type of material to use). So I signed up for the Kaplan online course and didnt feel that it helped a lot. but other people have said that it works for them. I should say that the PA part of Kaplan did help me. Other than that section I studied for the DAT as if I was taking the MCAT. I know it sound stupid and a waste of time but there was nothing on the test that I had not seen before or didnt have an idea about. It worked for me. Anyways , please and I really mean please DO NOT eat TUNA SALAD DURING YOUR 15 MIN BREAK. I DID... AND HENCE THE 14 ON THE QR. I was feeling really really sick by the end of the test so I guessed a lot on that section. O get a good night sleep before the test (IT HELPS A LOT). if you have any questions let me know. OOOOO before I forget load up on your CARBS before test day. I had pasta for lunch and dinner 2 days before test day.

best of luck to everyone! I hope that all of us get in 😀
 
I can't believe you had the stomach to eat anything at all. I remember during my 15 minute break, all I did was take a few sips of gatorade. Anything more and I would have vomited up a lung.
 
sorry to hear what happened during qr 🙁 but you did really well on the other sections and it your aa still came out pretty good so if you don't apply anywhere with a straight cut off i think you should have a chance...
yea.. i saw a lot of ppl recommending just gatorade for break... my 2 cents is get on a testing day schedule days before... like i was on the same schedule for about a week leading to the test; eating meals at the same time & having a granola bar during break time.. (which i also did during the actual test)..
but good job overall and don't forget to celebrate!
