Well... kinna bit of new things in some sections. 🙄

RC had bunch of true & false questions. It gives 2 sentences and choices are like both true, one true other false, both false and etc. Never had such questions before when I took my 1st DAT back in Apr. Well... I did improve compare to my 1st DAT but still not satisfatory. 😡

QR.. hum... I felt like it had more hand on calculation problems. I at least had 3 questions that had to do with finding x, y, and z. I ran out of time and had to guess 3 questions that I didn't answer.

PAT.. as usual. Nothing different. 99.3% 😀 but then it gave me 24 😡

Bio.. 🙄 well... I had a few questions that I actually never seen in bio book. I had a lot of genetic questions.

GC.. easier than I expected. Seems like concentration problems are always on DAT exam. Not many of calculation problems like Acheivers or TopScores. Most of concepts. I think their questions are getting kinna more in depth. Like finding higher melting point that deals with London or dipole force. The choices didn't have any H bonding stuff. Questions are getting kinna subtle.

OC.. one of my best science subject. 23 I had about 4 questions regarding aromatic substitution. Some general concepts. Surprisingly, I didn't have any acid/base question but solubility with water.

I just hope that I'm not too late. I'm gonna try with current score and see what I can pull off. 😀

so what did you get in QR, RC, Bio, a GChem lol?

so what did you get in QR, RC, Bio, a GChem lol?

QR: 18

RC: 17

Bio:18

GC: 22 🙄

Problem is.. my GPA is kinna low.

What did you use to study and what do you think help you improve?
Good luck with the app cycle

Well, before my 1st attempt, I didn't know about SDN. So, I had no clue about Destroyer, which helped a lot on GC with 2nd DAT, Achiever and TopScore. OC, I was on my 2nd OC class in school so it wasn't hard to pull off high(?) score. I had 21 on OC on 1st DAT. But during the summer, I didn't study at all and forgot all rxn mechanisms.

So, I went through Destroyer to brush up some knowledge. I'd say the biggest part of help on OC was to have good understanding of concepts (acidity, bonding strength, intermolecular force, boiling pt, melting pt, etc).

I think Bio on Destroyer is kinna over rated. It did help and got a lot of questions with explanations but once you see the questions in the book, you can kind of expect some answers though you have no clue about answer. Especially, if question asks for a)blah, b)blah, c)blah, d)blah and e) all of the above, then most of the time the answer is E. The book could've been much better resource if there weren't any questions like that since there is no questions in DAT that ask for "all of the above" nor "two of the above stuff".

I'm gonna try with current score and see how it goes. Some people say I maybe late for it but oh well.. 😀
