First of all i would like to thank all of SDN. No way i could have gotten the scores I did without help from everyone on SDN.

PAT:19
QR: 20
RC: 20
Bio: 24
GC: 25
OC: 25
TS:25
AA: 23

Breakdown: I started studying may 11th or so and studied for like 10 hours a day for the first three weeks. The last two weeks or so I could not really study that much because i started my internship.
PAT: this was easily my worst subject and i was expecting to get a 19 or so. I did all 10 tests from CDP. CDP is amazing and without it i would not have even gotten close to a 19.
QR: I have always been decent at math so i did not really study for it much. I just did some of the CDM tests. They were pretty similar to the real DAT. My average on the CDM tests was probably like a 21.
RC: I did the 5 CDR tests my average was a 20.
Bio: Being a bio major i just had to review a lot of information. I used KBB and Cliffs and DAT destroyer. All three of them are really great and have their strengths and weaknesses. Honestly the bio section was not as random as I was expecting it to be. It was really straight forward for the most part.
OC/GC: Destroyer and Chad are all you need!
I also did all 10 of datqvualts tests for the sciences. they were definitely helpful but not as good as chad or destroyer. My averages were around a 20-21.

Test day: My appointment was delayed for an hour because their computers were not working or something like that and they almost made me reschedule for another day two or three weeks later but i did not want to wait that long. Thank god they fixed the problem!
I hope this helps someone. Good luck to everyone taking the DAT. If you guys have any other questions let me know.
 
awesome scores! congrats! do you the CDR was a good representation of the RC section? i just took the first CDR test and did horrible (15)
 
The RC on my real dat kind of sucked bc i had the physics passage and it was soo boring...but overall i thought CDR was a pretty good representation but there was not as many tone/inference questions on the real DAT. hope that helps!
 
I just did search and destroy. It worked pretty well....if it was a tone question then i would skip it and come back to it.
 
Those are pretty awesome scores! Great job! Thanks for the breakdown and the advice, future dentist.
