This time will be my 2nd attempt.
I wrote my first DAT in June 2009. But, I didn;t do well. I got 19/19/20...
At the time, I thought QR is grade 10 math so I didn't study at all. Plus, QR section in kaplan BB seemed pretty easy. So I went in and wrote the DAT and I got 18 in QR. 😡
I said "whatever" 19/19/20 is not bad and I applied to several schools....
Guess what, all the schools that interviewed me asked me to improve DAT scores........ This is sad 🙁
By the way, the national average for DAT scores is going up. This year, the average was 19. I rememeber two years ago, the average was 18.
One thing that I don't like about american DAT is that it is called a standardized test but if you actually think about it, it is actually not.
For example, In QR section, if you get one wrong, you get 29. If you get 8 questions wrong, you get 20 or 21. So it doesn't matter how other people did......at least for that exam...
