Here are my scores:
AA: 19
TS: 20
QR: 15
PAT: 16

My GPA is 3.7. Do you guys think I should retake the exam? I'm really concerned about the QR and PAT. 😕

I wouldn't be concerned about QR as much as PAT. Your PAT score is below the cut-off for a lot of schools so I would suggest to retake it. It seems like you know your sciences so just put more time on QR and PAT and retake it. However, I would call up the programs that are your top choice and get their opinion about your PAT score.

I'd say retake. wasn't the PAT crazy?? I took it 2 days ago. I thought it was insane. I got a 15. Great job on your other scores though!!

Yea i thought the PAT was def one of the hardest sections. It was much more difficult than anything ive seen on the Kaplan practice tests. bigndog525, I would suggest doing ALOT of practice questions from destroyer. Its more difficult than the actual exam but it really prepares you. You never know what might land.

dude, you need crack dat pat for PAT section. Retake. My friend had the same score and GPA and it took him three years to get in without a retake.
