listen guys,

You are stressed. You see everyones 28's. You are wondering how you will measure up. Take it from me who just went through it. Approximately 9k ppl take the dat per year. Let's take a test score of 23 aa. That's a, my test cycle anyways, 99.7th percentile. That means ~30 kids get that score or above. Yet......it seems like predents and sdn are rife with scores that baller. Remember the stats guys. If you get a 20 with solid supporting gpa and ec's, you are a very strong candidates. Be strong. Keep it up, you are doing great.
 
yah.. thanks for your support!
My DAT is less than a week (9/16).. and dont know what I can do now anyways haha.. Is there any way I can improve RC section in a short time? (maybe in 2days?) I been study for RC the most.. but seems nothing much improvement there..............:scared:wish me luck

anyone taking next week? let's rock it!😀
 
ya i'm taking it next week!!! but for some reason I'm suddenyl doing bad in everything. I was getting 19-22 now im suddenly in the 16-17 range :/ i don't know waht's wrong!
 
LOL. Thanks for the support OP but these neurotic kids won't be satisfied with any score pretty much..

Average accepted student DAT score - X
Score needed to satisfy SDN member - X+(3-7)
 
I remember when my test date was getting closer.... I was freaking out as well (as should everyone who cares about their future).

But the thing that helped me was that I made myself believe that this was my first take on it, and if I didn't do good, its not the end of the world, I can always retake.
 
Some people like me do wish they have a higher DAT (even though it is good already) due to their low GPA. The ones with 4.2 GPA and 28AA need to stop asking about their chances though 😛
