Well like the title says I am thrilled about my scoress!!!! No I did NOT get FRAPPED!!!!! When I was done with my test I asked the guy who was working there to fold my score sheet coz I didnt wanna look at it until I get to my car. While I was walking towards my car with the score in my hand my heart was beating so fastt and I was sweating. When I opened that sheet oh my godd!!! I was yelling and crying at the same time lol. Too emotional I know!! but I worked so hard for this and I would have gone nuts if I had done bad. So here are my scores....

PAT - 18 👎
QR - 18
RC - 19
Bio - 23 97.9% 😱
GC - 20
Ochem - 21

TS - 22 😎
AA - 20 🙂

This is more than I wanted and I am very happy with my scores.

PAT (18) - I was getting 20-21 towards the end of CDP tests so I did not see this coming. Keyholes were very straight forward. T/F/E - let me tell you the counting line method does not work on the real thing. Coz all of them have same # of lines!!!! That was pretty much the only technique that I was good at. Angles weren't too bad. I had all acute angles besides 1 so I like that. Hole punch was weirdooo!! and that's my favorite section and I am good at it. The folds were simpler than CDP but they had like 3/4 fold on more than 50% of the questions uhh!!! 😡 I am pretty sure I missed atleast 3 questions in this seciton. Cubes were ridiculously easy!! Pattern oh god nothing like CDP at all!! CDP has all the shading design, which I am good at again but the real thing focused on shapes per say. Oh well!!!

QR (18) I am glad I didnt get a low score on this coz I swear I couldnt even answer 11 questions :laugh: Not that I ran out of time, I just didnt know how to solve them lol I had 5 questions on probability 😱 I suck at it!!! After reading the question if my marker doesn't start moving right away I would just select C, mark it and move on. At the end of the section I had 15 mins left and 13 marked questions. When i went back and re-read the questions I was able to answer 2 out of those 13 and had C for rest of them lol. I thought I was gonna get like a 14 or 15 lol. I am usually good at math though (besides prob), but the questions on the DAT were nothing like I had seen before.

RC (19) - I loved all the passages!! they were all so very interesting and not boring at all. I did have about 4-5 tone type of questions on each passage though. And I think that's probably why I got 19 coz i mostly likely missed those since I have no experience with those type of questions. i did not run out of time. I read all the passages, it was more like "superficial reading" than actual indepth, and note down all the keywords.

Bio (23) - Man am I suprised by this score or what!!!!! It was so freaking eassyyy!! I can't even exaggerate. There were only 2 offball experimental type of questions, where I was confused between two answer choices, but besides that I was easily able to answer all the questions.

Gchem (20) - Had like 2 calculations. Mostly conceptual. I was so damn nervous throughout the whole time that I forgot definition of sublimation :laugh:

Ochem (21) - This was straight forward too. There were only 2 questions that I was confused about and 1 of them I felt like none of the answers were correct. I don't know what else I missed here, wonder why I got 21. But I am not complaining 😀

What I used?

destroyer - awesome like every1 said!!!
schuams - LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Yes I knwow you are thinking this book is boring. But it wasn't for me. I read this book twice. First time when I was reading it, it was a little annoying coz it was taking me forever to finish the book. But I love it how schuams has little examples which helps me remember better. It also has alot of pictures unline cliffs
cliffs - I read through it once in this last week. It was okay I guess. IF you don't understand anything from schuams, you can refer to this book. Its definitely easier to read than schuams though
kaplan online - I like that they have so many tests, makes you familiar with all types of questions
Achiever

I wanna thank everyone who helped me out on this forum. Special thanks to Harrygt, Osims, Drgreen and Klutzy. Hit me up with any questions!

1 more post.. how is achiever's math compared with QR on the real DAT? thanksss
yes I did see some of the similar word problems like achiever. Just do as many problems as you can find for math. Actually that applies for all the sections of DAT. Once again more practice = higher score!!!!
 
hey mstooth,

just wanted to say thanks for those animated tutorials, you really hit the spot there for me. I am a visual learner and that website is perfect. I knew alot of info before, but now the website has just made everything clearer and understandable rather than just memorizing a bunch of crap. Thanks so much!
 
congrats mstoothlady2012, I am hoping to be the next from ucf to do good in this test!!!!!

Yeaa! I hope so too. You know the classes that I took in past 1 yr at UCF helped me the mostt!!!! You were in ASDA Right? you sound like someone that I know from ASDA.
 
surprised, your PAT scores weren't higher. I use your technique for hole punching and it helped me out tremendously.

Maybe, I am in ASDA, but last semester I wasn't very active (schedule conflict)
Are you taking any summer classes??? are you going to take any classes in the fall??
