I'm new to these forums so I'm not sure how everything works, but on to the important stuff.

I took my DAT today and my scores were:
AA 20
TS 21
OC 22
GC 22
Bio 20
RC 22
PAT 19
QR 15

I used Chad's videos for GC, OC, and QR. For biology I just used cliff's AP 3rd edition. For the PAT I used Crack dat pat. I didn't study for RC, I didn't feel like I needed to at least. I took 3 practice exams on topscore the week before my exam. My AA on the 3 were 16/17/19. I was freaking out! Well, all I can say is that for the science topscore is good. I feel that on the DAT science was a bit easier than on topscore. The PAT was definitely much more difficult on the actual DAT. And finally, QR. Chad's video's were great, but I feel like I should have used something else. Not only that, but most of the problems were very lengthy and I can't seem to do math under time pressure. But yeah, these are my scores!

I studied a total of like 3 months. I slacked at the beginning because it is summer, but as the time got closer to my test I really studied more. The last 2 weeks before my test I studied anywhere around 7-9 hours per day.

Let me know what you guys think! If anyone has any questions I'll be glad to answer.

Those are solids score man. I hate to be the one to point it out but the QR score is low. :/ Most schools have a cutoff of at least 17. You should def call up the schools you plan on applying to and ask. You never know.

Thanks! And yeah, I really bombed that section. It was brutal, I hope I can manage something with this score.

So you only used chads for chemistries and then the practice tests? Great scores

Yes, I took his videos as if they were a class. I made notes of every section and then went back when I had finished and studied them again. Thank you!

Np! Yeah, hopefully it all works out in your favor. It would suck to shell out close to $400 just because of QR. Best of luck!
