Hey guys,
Does anyone know how the scoring compares on the DAT test prep from their site. Say if I get 27 questions right on gen chem out of 30. Then when I look up on the score sheet it says that is equivalent to a score of 21 (Is that what is reported on the score sheet or is it the raw score). Does that mean if you get 27 questions you get 21 on DAT? What happens if you get like 28 or 29 right..still 22 or 23? Wow..
Thanks,
R
 
Yeah, that sounds about right. Most books (my Kaplan Blue Book for example) have a conversion chart. On the General Chemistry part, even if you get 30/30, you may only get about a 28 on that section. The chart in the KBB seems to be lining up pretty exact when I take my Crack DAT tests as well. This is why there is a huggge difference in getting say 25 right (~19) and getting 28 right (~23 probably). Whereas you may could get anywhere from 20-23 and still end up with a 17 or 18.
