Finally, I rescheduled my DAT to AUG 5th. I really cant take the test next mondy with such horrible practice scores, I was so upset after I took kaplan online final...here are my online final scores:

Ochem 18
gchem 18
bio 17
RC 15
pat 20
rc 19

for bio section, I read a lot people said super random and I am so panic cuz I dont know how to prepare a random test...I am studing kaplan bb and cliff ap bio for science. I thought kaplan bb is pretty good for both gchem and ochem..for bio section I pretty much use both at the same time..I dont have much money for destoryer, so I only can stand on kaplan and cliff...

and my question is: my DAT was on next monday and now is a week later than that....do you guys think I can do it with these practice scores? in the other words, should I trust on my practice scores cuz it seems I get pretty similar scores in science section in both kaplan and topscores...will be the real test easier than kaplan or topscores? plz stop by and leave some suggestions for me...thanks guys..

know KAPLAN and Cliffs cold, and you're almost guaranteed a 20. The bio section is not as random as people make it sound like. There are two reasons why people think the bio section is random:
1-The nature of biology = It's such a broad topic, and no matter how many different kinds of review books you use, there will still be topics that you haven't seen. The only way to solve this problem is to read Campbell's biology text cover to cover, and we all know how time consuming that is!
2-Many people who think the bio section is completely random have indeed read books like KAPLAN and cliffs, but they simply memorized the terms without understanding the underlying concepts (Everyone can memorize the name of the enzymes in glycolysis, but it takes a bit more effort to understand the actual concepts behind it).
and my question is: my DAT was on next monday and now is a week later than that....do you guys think I can do it with these practice scores? in the other words, should I trust on my practice scores cuz it seems I get pretty similar scores in science section in both kaplan and topscores...will be the real test easier than kaplan or topscores?
Don't walk into the real test hoping that your scores will magically improve by 2-3 points compared to your KAPLAN and TopScore exams. Usually, people's scores are +/- 1,2 points compared to their mock exams. So, if you're consistently scoring below 20 (~18-19) then you might end up with a 20 on the real test, but you can pretty much forget about a 22.

Good Luck!👍
