How many questions should you miss in each section to get 20 on DAT?

[coambis]

I was wondering... whether anyone can give me estimate numbers as to how many questions you should get right per section in order to get 20 or above. I think it will be a helpful assessment for my studying.

Thanks!

I think the attitude of "How many can I miss" works much better when you're working towards an end goal (A or A+ in a class, which is the best you can do). On a standardized test, there's no upper limit, so why not shoot for getting them all right?

When I study for a standardized test (Boards right now), I live and die on every single question I miss.

Also, I'm moving this to DAT.

I think it's about 4.

This actually depends. Here's a rough estimate:
