I don't think I did nearly as well on the ACT. Had a 28 on the ACT, and a 24 AA (99.9 percentile).

awesome thnks man you give me hope. sat and gmat i did top eight percent, but going to need a wee bit higher on dat to offset my 3.3 gpa/3.8 sci gpa. Grats!

 

[namiie]

I did about the same...2100 on the SAT (97th percentile) and 22AA/23TS on DAT (97th/98th percentile).

 

[sfoksn]

2280 on SAT and 27AA on DAT... I think I did a little better on the DAT

 

[PreDent100]

I did much better on the DAT than SAT/ACT. 23AA/25TS and 24 ACT/1800 SAT.

Damn, how about some x/1600 scores? I feel old.

 

[Lethstang]

1030 SAT (crap score) / 20 AA DAT

There is hope! Although I didn't really study for the SAT while I put in 2 months for the DAT.

1250 (old scale)/1760 SAT. 20/19/24 DAT. Like some others above, I studied exactly 0 minutes for SAT and 2 months for DAT, results showed

Daaamn, 2100 is 97th percentile for the sat? Didn't know that.

I did about the same...2100 on the SAT (97th percentile) and 22AA/23TS on DAT (97th/98th percentile).

This thread gives me hope too. I'll be super happy if I beat my sat percentile (hopefully by bunches!). And considering I didn't study for the sat, I think I should. 🙂

My DAT scores are 23AA, 24TS, and 21PAT, which is 99.7%. My SAT score was 1170, which is not that high. After taking the SAT, I always thought I was a bad standardized test taker, which I am. However, the DAT is unlike most standarized test - the DAT is more memorization based. Also, the percentiles do not properly represent ones score on the DAT. The only sections similar to other standarized tests are the reading comp and math sections (the math section is easier, as you get a calc now).

SAT, ACT, DAT, MCAT, they're still all achievement tests, not aptitude tests, and all standardized tests are learnable and therefore masterable. 34 ACT, and 23 AA. A little elbow grease and anyone can do it. For the old-timers like me: 1530/1600 SAT, old scale.

 

[Maygyver]

I think I tried a little harder on the DAT and I feel like most people in general do. I don't know many people who really try on the ACT/SAT (until I read through hSDN). I forgot a calculator for ACT and fell asleep during the SAT.

Amazing... 🙂

I scored 1150 on the SAT no idea what that percentile. 50 points better than what I thought. I always assumed it was 1100 as I needed 550 to avoid remedial math and english when entering college.

my scores are 19/19 and 20 in PAT.

all listed as in the 80 percentile.

I believe the SAT were made easier(after I got into college, damn you college board and your monopoly). I remember someone getting 1600 was incredibly rare. You would have the national news cover it. then a slew of perfect scores came out and it wasn't all the asian kids either. Now its not that big of a deal anymore.

perhaps that is why they went to the higher score? I dunno. I will ask my nephew about it this weekend. Show you how old I am.

I didn't prep much for the SAT, but I spent my summer studying for the DAT.
