i studied for DAT on and off for about 4 months(no destroyer), 2 months really studying (with destroyer).
PAT 19
QR 15
RC 17
B 23
GC 19
OC 22
TS 21
AA 19

my gpa is 3.65 and science is ~3.3

Biology was a horror, from FRAP, to histology, but the destroyer had me covered for the most part. The questions themselves weren't helpful but the explanations in the back were on target. however, some questions were mind blowing, like the FRAP, histology and some slides. I would use CAmpbell for the pictures and slides. Even though kaplan helped to refreshed your memory it wasnt helpful to answers a lot of the questions. As soon s i got the scores I was extremely surprised with this section.

GC was mostly theory I think I only had 4 calculation and they were set ups. it was theory after theory. I had two questions that threw me off which i knew i could have gotten right. Molarity or Molality. and also there was one question which had the half the a choices cut off so you had to scroll down, which i didn't realize until the end. Kaplan was great for this, and destroyer made sure I knew the information with all the insane questions (the explanations also had great short cuts)

OC all i have to say is Destroyer, know the destroyer and a guaranteed 30. I got A's in both of my orgo classes so I knew much stuff for orgo, but destroyer gave me an extra boost with the lab questions that were on the DAT. the reactions were simple, and reagents were the common ones.(DO destroyer great road maps)

PAT this section was top score and achiever, were great. Top score mimicked the DAT, but achiever gave me the push.

RC i don't know how a 17 looks, but i thought i did ok.... i had some crazy passages, one was 23 paragraphs long, others were about 19.I had a couple of tone questions but they were simple, a lot were from the text... i am worried about the score on this section.

QR, i seriously thought i was doing better like an 18. The problems for the most part were fair, accept there was one crazy problem about triangles.= which i just guessed. get as much practice as you can, know your math, destroyer is good not as strong as the sciences but pretty good. top score, again is sort of a second version of the DAT. i dont know how my 15 will effect my placement, people been telling me that QR is not weighed as much, but its not like they will ignore the score completely...
Do you think my QR will bring me down some how?
or i will get into schools

If you have any thoughts, please help me out, i would greatly appreciate it. thank you to all of you, a lot of you helped me out...
