First off, if those are your diagnostic scores w/o much studying than I would say your in good shape. The thing with kaplan is about peaking on your test day. Try to improve with every practive test you take. I had very similar if not a little lower scores on my sciences for the diagnostic. My main scores on the real DAT you can see in my sig. As for the subsections I pretty much got 20's and a few 21's across the board with the exception of my 22 on PAT. I didnt have a major weak point or strong point other than PAT. You'll notice on hear that a lot of people score very high on one section (24+) and it brings up their AA and TS a lot.
I can't speak for any of the other prep matierials.
I took the DAT (last Oct) before I was told about this wonderful place. I pretty much stuck to the kaplan stuff and nothing else. The one thing that rings true is that you get out what you put in. If I prepped as much as some of these other people I'm sure I might have been able to get the amazing scores you see on here. Dont get intimidated by the competion. Someone has to get those high scores, remember that they're in the minority. All that you can do is focus on yourself. Good luck.
