Overall I though it was not that bad. Bio was very general, nothing like achiever but achiever was a good study tool and timing tool. Actually had time to look over most of test. (guess i should have looked over ochem better) The PAT was easier than achiever, except the dreaded angles, but their still doable. No half holes thank god. Keyholes were similar to kaplan. ortho were not too confusing. Pattern folding was probably some of the easiest ive seen ie kaplan. Cubes were tricky though. Dont expect any five sides and very few four sides. G chem was surprisingly general. Im not a strong chem student and had no problem with this section. No big calculations or crazy derivatives of formulas or weird question wording. Ochem i really cant say much about. I hate ochem with a passion and i guess it showed. They had your basic rxns, acid base, SN1 SN2 E1 E2, boiling pt, nothing real crazy. QR was almost problem for problem like achiever. Use achiever as a good way to gauge your QR. it matched mine almost exactly. Achiever is an invaluable tool for QR. RC was a little harder than I had seen before. They were on Magnesium and its relation to the body, intercelluar communication, and herbal medicine. The questions were worded differently than Achiever. There werent a whole lot of straight forward questions. I did the question to skim read technique. Overall Use DAT achiever it is worth it. It helped me with my timing immensely. I had plenty of time after answering all questions in each section. In PAT i even had time to review up to question 75!! Just relax and be confidant, drink a beer before or rock out to your favorite band before you go in(Coheed!!), whatever floats your boat. Good luck to all. Dont loose CONFINDANCE!!! Ill be more than happen to give more advice or answer any questions about the test. 😎
 
very nice.. kinda surprise w/ your ochem score since you did so well on the other science sections (and it's the easiest, IMO).

but those scores are definitely good.

I hate ochem more than anything else. Didnt spend alot of time on it and i took an accelerated summer course for both lab and class last year. 30 weeks into 8. Enough excuses i just suck at it.
