my dat is this week. On the first topscore exam I did well in bio and chem, 17 and 18 respectively, but got a 12 in orgo. What I did for orgo was redo all the kaplan subject tests..look at what I'm getting wrong and memorize the right stuff. on the second exam I got a 20 in orgo.

I would suggest writing a list of concepts you don't understand, hire a good tutor or a patient friend who is good at explaining to explain each concept then take the friend out to lunch for their time and effort.

It'll be worth your money to score well on the exam first time through than paying another $160 or whatever they charge nowadays and time/pain for you to learn the stuff again by yourself and risk it all over again. Good luck.

No need to hire a good tutor. SDN is all u need 😍
by the way, i think i should take DAT after I graduate university because Organic chemistry lab classes are already full....-_-; damn.
I am gonna take lecture this semester without lab 🙁
I hope 1 year of extra time can boost up my DAT.
anyway what i wanna say is, if you don't think u can do well, just take my boat, i got an extra seat on my boat we don't have to take DAT now

I agree partially with Dr.Konfetka. If you're scoring 15's it is definetly a good idea to go back and look at why those answers were wrong, but aside from memorizing i think you need to understand how the problem works, so you can solve similar problems in the same way without having to memorize too much information repetitively. This test requires you to cram an immense amount of material and memorizing something will only take you so far. good luck to you. btw did u postpone ur earlier DAT date? for how long have you been preparing for the test?

I did pospone it b/c I've been working alot and deploying for the military. But now I have two weeks with out being bothered so I'm going to see what I can pull off. Thanks for your input...i'm going to see what I'm doing wrong and what info I'm missing. I'm really scared b/c I know it's not cuttin it..
