I have Master's degree in engineering with 3.79 GPA. I took DAT today. These are my scores:

Bio/GC/OC/RC/QR/PAT
20/23/26/20/28/22
TS = 22
AA =23

I don't have any background in Biology or Chemistry except for 3 courses in college, General Biology, General Chemistry I and General Chemistry II. These are the sources that I used:

Bio: Cliff's AP Biology, DAT Bootcamp, DAT Destroyer, Feralis Notes (a little bit). I started teaching Biology to myself by Cliff's AP Biology. After that I went through DAT Destroyer and took notes and went through my notes two times. I had about 7 questions about Meiosis and Mitosis in my exam and they were all comprehensive questions.

Gen Chem: Chad's videos, DAT Destroyer, Bootcamp. I think DAT Destroyer in Bio and Gen Chem is a must for getting a good score.

OChem: Mike's Videos, Chad's videos, DAT Bootcamp, 50 questions of Destroyer. I think Destroyer is much much harder than the real test in OC.

QR: Math Destroyer, DAT Bootcamp. I had about 8 questions of the new section in QR.

PAT: I started with TFE in my real exam because keyhole is the hardest part for me. PAT Academy from Bootcamp and the practice tests are all the things that you need for the exam. I had about 4 rock questions in my real exam.

RC: Unfortunately I didn't practice for this section. I wish I went through the practice tests in Bootcamp. Besides that English is not my first language.

I wish luck for everybody in this exam.

Your QR score is ammmazing!
 
Great scores! Thanks for the breakdown.

Your QR score is ammmazing!
All of my three passages in RC were about Cell Biology. The first passage was only 7 paragraphs. I thought that I would get a better score while I was doing this section.
 
Wow! Great scores! Congrats and well done. How long did you prepare for your DAT?
Thanks. About 2.5 months. I started with Ari's study schedule but I couldn't keep it because I was very busy with other things. His study schedule is awesome. He covers everything in a reasonable time.

Congratulations! Fantastic scores, WOW! 20 is fantastic in reading when English is a 2nd language. A lot of hard work went into accomplishing those scores.

Enjoy you summer and take some well deserved time off..You have your life back, well until you start dental school

Congratulations great scores. When you say you started with TFE first, can you explain how that works...you can start on any section of the PAT first?

Thank you very much Nancy. Using DAT Destroyer made a lot of confidence to me. Without Destroyer and Bootcamp I don't think anybody can be successful. Thank you and Dr. Romano for the big help to all of the students.

As soon as PAT section started I clicked on the Next button 15 times to go to TFE section. It took about 15 seconds overall.
