After 2 months of studying, I finally completed the DAT, and although it's definitely not as high as many of the posted here, I am still very pleased with them! Here's is a very short and sweet breakdown.
PA : 23
QR: 18
RC: 21
BIO: 20
GC: 21
OC: 20
TS: 20
AA: 20
PAT (23)
I used CDP for the first month, and later discovered Bootcamp. Thanks to Ari and the BC staff, I was able to raise my average from a 19 to around a 20. I ended up with a 23 on the real thing, so if you're doing okay on BC, you will do great on test day.

I am terrible at math! Always have been and always will! 🙁 I mainly used Math Destroyer and DAT destroyer. I did maybe 2 practice exams on BC due to it's difficulty. If you do well on BC and the math destroyer you should be fine.
RC (21)
I did all of the BC practice tests and they are more difficult than the real thing but not by much. I was averaging 20's. There is definitely more S&D questions on the real DAT though.
BIO (20)
I used BC and Cliffs AP for this. Awesome resources and would highly recommend. I was a bio major so I didn't spend too much time studying and still managed to get a 20!
GC (21)
Chads and BC are all you need, really. I did use DAT destroyer, but a lot of what I learned didn't really stick with me because I felt like I didn't know enough material to tackle problems of that difficulty after only watching Chads once. Before the test I retook his quizzes and watched his videos twice.
OC (20)
Basically the same as GC, I believe Chads and BC are a must.
Overall the test wasn't all that bad. There were definitely times during the test where I felt like I was going to get a 17, but thankfully I managed to scrape by! I am going to be applying next cycle with these scores. My oGPA is 3.7 and my sGPA is 3.7. I'm really hoping my numbers will get me into dental school because I don't think my body can muster enough will to retake the DAT! xD Anyways, good luck to the pre-dents still taking the exam, and good luck to those applying this cycle! and thanks again to SDN, Ari and the BC staff, and Chad!
***If anyone could leave their opinion on my numbers or any thoughts on whether I have to retake or not please do! Constructive criticism is always welcome 🙂
