Bio-16
Gchem-16
Organic-18
QR-18
PAT-18
RC-18

Ok, right when I woke up I took bio, I dont know where I went wrong but I will find out later as I review my answers.

Ochem and Gchem were not that bad

PAT-that hole punching was really hard for me, does anyone know how to fold the paper with angles? Any help on that would be great

RC- I didnt do the road map for the first passage but I kind of did for the second two. I just wrote on a piece of paper paragraphs 1-13 and then wrote down key words. I kind of ran short of time, ill have to practice but that method worked really well...but I thought I answered almost all of them right! Hmmm

QR-I went and did all of the problems I knew, and then went back and solved more difficult problems and then I guessed with a few minutes left

How do you think my scores are in prep for the real thing. I took topscore and was getting 18-20's. I am going to review all of this and my test is in 10 days!
 
If you were getting 18- 20's in Topscore I am sure you will do fine. I wouldn't be surprised if your next two achiever scores go down as tests two and three are more challenging.
 
i took 2 natural sciences today for achiever bout to take the third soon...the first one i had 16 BIO 19 CHEM 19 ORGO...the 2nd one i couldtn believe how badly i did on bio i got a 13 BIO 17 CHEM and 20 ORGO...i think im just gonna review bio most of the time before teh 25th...

good luck egots, you shall prevail, if not just postpone.
 
Man, I just went over the answers and I looked passed some easy questions. I tend to freak out when I see a test and I think they are asking something more difficult. I need to learn to be more confident. But I shouldve had 18 or higher on both bio and gchem after reviewing it.

You're going to have enough time for every question on the SNS for the real DAT, as there will be less calculations involved especially for Gen. Chem. Keep practicing with Achiever's challenging probs. and work harder from there. But make sure you read every Q carefully on the real exam, to avoid simple mistakes.

Note: The above advice is only applicable to the SNS, and not the rest. PAT, RC, QR can be pretty time-stressed demanding lots of speed and accuracies.
