OMG

I wouldnt worry to much but I would definitely work on the PA section. I was scoring mid teens on most of my sections on top score except PA where I was scoring 22's or 23's. On the actual test day(tuesday) I ended up doing much much better (20bio 19GC 19Ochem 23PA 25RC 17 QR). I really think the real test is easier than the practice tests. Honestly I would just skim through your review book the night before, relax, and try and do your best. Worst case scenario is you have to take it again, thats it so dont stress.

dont worry, im in the same boat. My DAT in on the 15th and ive been scoring similar to u. I just advise you go over your answer and know what you are doing wrong so you dont make the same mistakes. Think positive!! Right now is not the time to freak out rather learn from your mistakes! 🙂 I have faith in you!

 

[iamgosu]

man i'm similar to you, except i don't even have Topscore and my DAT is TOMORROW!

on CDP i've been scoring 18-19's all the time lol.
I get like 7 questions out of 15 for Angles wrong all the time...

I'd think about what went wrong, review what you missed, and take another topscore. You need to take it under DAT conditions (as far as time goes). Remember topscore doesn't have a calculator so have the windows calc ready. If you don't see scores that you are comfortable with, I'd reschedule.

I will be the bad guy here and say you are in deep 5h!t.
Not only because you scored so terribly on Topscore, but because your test is in a week and you haven't started memorizing anything for ochem (i hope you were only exaggerating...), anyway, while Orgo on DAT should be a walk in the park for anyone who's taken ochem, having not started memorzing any of it a week before the exam is just down right stupid. If i were you, i would reschedule, give myself a day to memorize all the orgo reactions, and then take 2 days to go through destroyer, 1 day for topscore and achiever, then just repeat what you did for the last 4 days 3x, then take your DAT.
sorry to be so blunt.
I wish you best of luck on the test!

watch Chad's video for both Gchem and Orgo, it worked great for me. you don't need to go crazy with the orgo memorization.
for biology just go over barron's and that usaully takes couple of days if you really spend time on it.

so when you ordered the topscore, how long did it take until they sent you the email with download instructions?

I'm in a similar boat. It is terrifying and frustrating. I pushed my test back another week to give myself more time to work on practice tests and really cement the material in my head. My biggest issue is timing...I am really slow and I am struggling to complete the science section on time.

I know my Ochem pretty well, but since I always run out of time I end up clicking "c" for the last 5-10 questions or so. I need to work on marking questions that either I don't know or will take me too long to figure out, and then move on.

if you know ochem well, it should be fast. Bio is also really fast (you either know it or don't pretty much...). GC is the part of most frustration. I would suggest doing OC and Bio first then going back to GC for you.
