PAT- 19
RC- 17
QR- 17
BIO- 17
GC- 29
OC- 21
TS- 20
AA- 20 (93.4%)

Im pretty disappointed with my bio score... ive used cliffs AP Bio and supplemented with other materials; however, the bio section was WAY more specific than i had anticipated. Especially after hearing that the cliffs AP bio book will be sufficient to net a score of at least 20... it seems that the version of the test I got was more similar to that of Destroyer bio or even achiever...

PAT was also different from Crack PAT... especially the keyhole portion... pretty disappointed considering ive been scoring 22-24s on Crack PAT...

My GPA isnt too great (3.1), so what do you guys think?
 
Don't worry about it....your TS is great and most schools will accept 17 as their lowest score (cutoff). They are most interested in your TS -- you got a 20 which is fine!

Make sure you apply to the right schools though.

Second that^^

Yeah, your AA/TS/PAT is 20/20/19. Those are solid scores in my opinion. I'll be glad to take those if you want to go ahead and retake. haha. Don't worry! GPA isn't as bad as it could be, but higher is better of course. Make sure to apply to multiple schools!
 
wow you murdered GC! I have found that the best thing you can do is just call the schools you applied to/interested in. They will tell how is it. They are a better source then us when it comes to this stuff.
 
just took my DAT yesterday and i agree with you about the crack dat keyholes- i was scoring 22's on cdp and took 9 of the 10 tests and took several of them over just for practice. pulled a 20 on actual pat and was disappointed. thought it was going to be my strongest section. either i was just nervous or cdp needs to step it up. by the way, nice scores and i think you should list your GC score _first_ when posting your breakdown lol. 29 is a STELLAR score, congrats!
 
If you feel like you could've done better using other study materials, then do it. While your current score is a good score, you should still ask yourself whether this is your PERSONAL best. If not, then get the proper material and retake it. Do not look at percentiles and how you are doing compare to other people, compare your score to what you are capable of.

Your bio and Rc. will hurt you. For example i believe on midwesterns website they want a min of 18 in rc.

but your chemistry scores are off the roof man. its a tough call. I would not retake it though. Beucase you dont have a single score less than 17.
