My DAT scores

Hello All,
I am new to sdn and have recently taken the DAT. I must say that I did not take Kaplan and really only started taking practice tests the week before I took the real thing. (don't get me wrong...I studied for a long time!) I sort of (understatement follows...) choked on quantitative reasoning. The probability that I know my probability was in fact lower than anticipated. With that preface here are my scores.
PA 22 (97.6%)
QR 17 (64.0%)
RC 20 (67.0%) (p.s. MUCH harder than expected)
BIO 20 (87.4%)
GC 22 (89.5%)
OC 23 (93.7%)
TS 21 (92.4%)
AA 20 (85.1%)

During the test I had felt like I should have earned a 17 AA, I honestly have no explanation for some of my performance. I should have studied probability, trigonometry, and word problems A LOT more! The worst part is that I knew I was running out of time. I am eager to see what admission committees will think of these scores. I get nervous when I see that the trend had been for scores to go up each year. On paper it looks like I should get in somewhere but I psyche myself into thinking that it will not be easy to do so.
If you have not taken your DAT yet, do NOT stress! I believe that partially explains my QR score. Also good luck!! and God Bless.

You did well. QR isn't a big factor. Stop stressing.

Those are some really solid scores.. As long as you have a matching GPA, you should be more than fine.. Congrats...

a 20 is a 67%?? thats scary! I thought 20 or above would be 80-90%.
