Just finished the 2009 ADA Practice DAT.. Help?

Ok, so I just sat down and took this thing. Please don't hate on me for asking these questions because I'm pretty sure they have been asked 100 times. However, I'm new to this practice test, and would like to know what's up with all this..

Do you only find out what you scored in the sciences as a whole? You can't find out what you scored on each section?

And how do you figure out what your actual scores are? It only tells you how many you got correct. I looked at the score conversion charts that I found here on SDN, but the RC section only goes up to 17 questions correct.. Idk.. I could use some help with this.

Here are my stats from the test: (# correct / total # questions)

Survey of Natural Sciences: 82/100
PAT: 82/90
RC: 37/50
QR: 29/40


My test is in a week, so I would really just like to know if I should feel comfortable enough to take it or if I should reschedule it. Could you guys please help? Thanks!

That translates to 20 TS 20 RC 23 PAT and 17 QR...and the QR is too hard on the 2009 ADA tbh...so don't sweat that...I think you are pretty ready I would think.

You sure it's 17 QR? On the conversion table i saw, it said it was a 20.

Have you taken the 2009 test? If so, do you think the RC section was too easy on it?

Ahh ok.. from that table it says my QR was 17. the other ones I saw said it would be a 20. Wow

Don't sweat the 2009 QR...it's harder than normal from what I see.

Thanks, so the 2009 QR is supposedly harder? And do you think the 2009 RC is too easy?

RC is RC...it is just random...you might get passages that are easy to read or really dense...or something you find interesting or something that might be the dullest thing you have ever read...can't really comment on RC ...just pick a strategy and go with it.

Very true.. I'm kinda worried about whether or not I'm ready. I wish there was a way to see the Bio, GenChem, and OChem scores

Anybody else have any thoughts on whether or not I should be ready for the real DAT? I'd really appreciate it
