Finished with the DAT

I took the DAT yesterday. I couldn't sleep the night before, and I was pretty nervous before the test. I think I was lucky when I took the test. I saw a question in the Bio section that I would never have known the answer to had I not crammed on the anki's flashcards the day before. I scored at 96.4 percentile on the QR which I thought was a lot like the Math Destroyer instead of the 2009 Sample Test which was literally impossible.

Also I was blown away by the level of security in the testing center. They check your pockets each time you go in, and scan you with a metal detector. You also need to sign in and out with a fingerprint scan. The staff was very professional, and it was really quiet. I think the test fees are actually reasonable given the system they put into the place.

The PAT section was virtually indistinguishable from the CDP software. I was expecting it to be like the practice tests, but even the cube counting was the same especially with the weird lines that doesn't align sometimes. I used KBB, Examkrakers BIO, Cliffs, Organic Chem as Second Langauge I and II, MCAT Hyperlearning BIO, DAT Destroyer, Math Destroyer, CDP, and a bunch of old DAT sample prep tests from the 90s and 80s. In retrospect, I should have relied more on the flashcards found on the SDN for the Bio instead of the MCAT stuff, but it turned out well.

Thank you everyone! I am going to give away my study material so if you are in Maryland and interested in DAT stuff, shoot me a PM. All I ask is that you give a little back to LINK: Liberty in North Korea. It's a NGO that helps North Korean refugees. Check them out at http://libertyinnorthkorea.org/

lol you really think we should help North Korea? Feeding them just gives them more incentive to further bolster and proceed their governmental funds to their nuclear technology. bad idea imho.

Very nice scores.

Yeah, there was so much stuff I figured I was going to have to leave a urine sample before I left.

Do you want to stay in Maryland or you want to go out of state to attend Dental school?

Great Scores congrats! Did you use the Math Destroyer or just the Math Section in DAT Destroyer? Reason I'm asking is I started doing problems from separate math destoyer book and it seemed unpractical for them to ask questions like that, it took too long to get the answer.

Solid scores especially on the sciences -- congrats!

What did you think about Organic chem as a second language? Did you do that before doing Destroyer? Did it help?
