I just looked the ADA site for raw scores on each section of the DAT that would equate to 20's. It looks like I need to score:

Math: 29 out of 40
Read: 14 out of I think 40
Bio: 35 out of 40
Chem: 26 out of 30
Ochem: 25 out of 30
PAT: 70 out of 90

These raw scores would equate to standard scores that would give me a 20. Holy Crap not a lot of margin for error in the sciences. Miss 5 and you get a 19 or less in that section.
 
While it can vary from test to test, that is probably pretty close to accurate. Your Reading is way off tough, 14 right would be a terrible score. I think its 45 questions too, though it has been awhile since I studied for it.

Yes, especially in the sciences. You miss one wrong question on the science section can be a difference between a 25 and a 21
