Hi, I've been studying for DAT for just over a month and I'm being discouraged because of my scores on Topscore 🙁
My DAT is scheduled on July 7th, and it's really difficult to reschedule since I live in Canada and it's very hard to find a spot. Despite that, I was wondering if I have to reschedule it because I'm doing really bad on topscore. I think I did ok in Achiever:
PA 19 (I'm using CDP and I'm getting 20, 21s)
QR 21
RC 21
Bio 21
GC 18
OC 19

PA 20
QR 20
RC 20
Bio 20
GC 19
OC 17

Then.. the Topscore
Bio 19
GC 17
OC 17

I find topscore more difficult than achiever! I've been focusing more on PAT, QR, and RC for the past few days and haven't been able to study sciences when I took topscore today. And I'm really getting worried now that I only have a week til the exam. Would it improve if I study sciences really hard again for a week 😕
Any suggestions?
 
I think you are good. Your scores are not bad at all and you will probably score higher on the actual test. You still have a week so review and go over the stuff that gives you a hard time. If you feel like you really need more time then def. take it, you are the best judge of that.

I had my DAT scheduled for july 8, but i just changed it to july 22. I just didn't feel ready. I know that I will probably never feel completely ready to take it, but I think this gives me the best opportunity to get a good score and to only take it once. Just do what you think is best.
 
hmm.. I think I'm just gonna take the exam.. maybe it's just me being tooo nervous I am going to review everything thoroughly til next week so I'll give it a try. There's no spot available until october anyway Thanks for your advice!
