Just a quick question regarding Raw score!

I was looking at the raw score conversion table they have on the ADA website and I'm just a little confused on how to convert the RC score. So does it mean that 17 questions right is a 29 for that section? I'm just a little confused and not sure if this is what it really means. According to the practice tests that I have taken, RC has 50 questions so getting 17 questions right doesn't sound right for a 29. I would appreciate any inputs on this.

The ADA sample test only has one reading passage with 17 questions. So 17/17 is a 29. The real DAT has 3 passages with I think 17 questions each.

That makes sense. Do you know if the have a breakdown like that one for the real DAT?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by breakdown?

I think he means like how many questions one needs to get right in order to get a certain score. ie the score chart for real exam.

Oh ok, thanks. I not sure if they have a breakdown out there for the actual amount of questions, but you can get an idea using top score and other practice exams. The Kaplan blue book may, I just don't remember.

The KBB has the scaled score estimate in after the practice exam in the back. GL!
