These are my scores:

Bio 16
Gchem 14
Ochem 15
PAT 19
RC 18
QR 11

TS 15
AA 15

The main problem I had was timing, I put random answers for many questions in every section due to timing. I'm a bit worried since I've got about 1 month left to study, do you guys think I can increase my score a lot by the end? I'm aiming for above 23 since my GPA is not very good at all. How were your Kaplan diagnostic compared to the real DAT? I heard the diagnostic is meant to be a lot more difficult than any of their other tests, is this true?
 
Hey don't worry too much. My diagnostic test was awful. My AA = 15 and I ended getting a 21 on the actual DAT. My biggest advice is this. Do not slack off a single day. Go back and studying that test. Find out why you got those questions wrong and learn all that you can about the answer choices, speaking particularly about the BIO section. Take full advantages of all the online material, if you have it. They will give you a good foundation. If possible I would also recommend getting a copy of the DAT Destroyer, that will help you a lot but only after studying the kaplan material. I used DAT Destroyer a week before the exam.
 
I would also invest in Crack the DAT PAT, because kaplan's angle ranking is way easier than the actual PAT.
 
Thanks for the feedback, I'm definitely planning on using CDP and Destroyer. I'm just worried that one month might not be enough
 
If all you're doing is DAT - I think a month is alot of time. My view is that you cannot control if you get a 23 because the higher you go (IMO above 20) luck starts to control your score more than your prep.

It's the first test you take in the $1000 course
