Just took the DAT today

A couple of things:
1. I was overall happy with my scores, except for the PAT. I somehow convinced myself I didn't need Crack PAT...that was a mistake. Made a 19 (66 percentile...yikes).
2. AA was a 23, so I won't be retaking it, which is awesome.
3. Advice for people taking it soon: learn the unit circle! Another thing I regret not doing, I somehow convinced myself I wouldn't need it. Also, get crack pat. Apertures and TFE are much, much harder than Kaplan or Topscore.
4. Finally, the new pens are amazing - very thin, and I never had a problem with running out of space.
Anyway, wanted to share my thoughts on that, and also see if you guys thought that my lower PAT score might hurt at all.

PAT: 19 🙁
QR: 20
RC: 25
TS: 23 (BIO:26)
AA: 23

19 isn't low by any means. Great scores! Well done!

I am glad you didn't ask the "should I retake?" question. Too many people are being misled to think they need to retake for a solitary 18 or 19.

Great scores! May I ask what your scores were on practice tests? I'm taking mine in 5 days...and I'm sorta freaking out =(

The only practice tests I took were TopScore, but here they are:
Test 1
AA: 22 TS 21 QR: 15 PAT: 22 RC: 21
Test 2
AA: 21 TS: 22 QR: 16 PAT: 24 RC: 21
Test 3
AA: 20 TS: 20 QR: 21 PAT: 22 RC: 21
Personally I thought TopScore was accurate for the TS, but PAT was much easier. Destroyer was very good preparation for the science section in total.

Which DAT destroyer did you use? I'm using the 2010 version and I'm still deciding if I should buy the 2012 version...

 

[telemonster]

It's the 2010 version.

For Bio I took the TopScore tests, then researched the sections I missed in the Cliffs AP Bio. Also, Bio Destroyer was incredibly helpful in some obscure topics.
