Got To Thinking About My DAT Score

Out of curiosity, I was filing papers today and saw my unofficial DAT score report on the counter. I thought about this when I had finished the exam but I just assumed it was correct. Now I am wondering about my TS score on the exam. On my report it shows:

TS: 19
but with my breakdown I have:
OC:23
GC:22
BIO:17

Looking at this (http://www.ada.org/sections/educationAndCareers/pdfs/dat_estimate_score.pdf) I looked at my scores to determine the amount correct, using the most conservative number for Biology, and I get a total of 81/100 or a 20.
Are those numbers correct, or do they vary based on the exam.

Just wondering, thanks!

You're logic is correct but that's a practice DAT scale. The real scale for your exam was probably different. Hence you got a 19 instead. You can always pay to have your score audited if you're not sure, but it's probably correct. Don't worry a 19 TS won't kill you.
