Hey guys,

I just took my first ever practice DAT via the Kaplan diagnostic. I really didnt know what to expect - I even had to read some directions about what we had to do for each section - especially for the PAT. Subsequently I ran out of time on all but the life sciences sections. The scores look pretty terrible but I plan to study my butt off for the next 3.5 months. Please lemme know what you guys think of these scores as a starting point and how they compared to your very first scores:


Survey Of Natural Sciences 12.30
- Biology 12
- General Chemistry 13
- Organic Chemistry 12
Reading Comprehension 17 (17 not reached)
Quantitative Reasoning 12 (7 not reached)
Perceptual Ability Test 13 (9 not reached)

Academic Average 13.43 -- I didnt reach a total of 33 questions

Thanks for your comments!!🙂

Sounds like my diagnostic test 😉. Don't worry, you just have to study hard and practice hard and your scores will jump about 10 points. It took me about a month and a half to study for the test, so 3.5 month is ample time if used efficiently. gl.

more than enough time. dont sweat, u will do fine if you study seriously

Heres a thread I made about my first practice test if you wanna check it out to see what people said. My science scores were pretty close to yours. But like the others said you got plenty of time, just use it well.

Sounds good - thanks for the feedback. For some crazy weird reason I'm actually quite excited to get into this and to track my progress. I'll keep everyone posted🙂.

that's plenty of time to prepare. You'll be fine.. you'll be suprised by how much your score will improve with just two weeks of faithful reviewing!
