I took the DAT yesterday morning and here are my scores:

PAT: 20 (81.0)
QR: 19 (92.9)
RC: 17 (35.7)
BIO: 16 (41.0)😡😡😡😡😡
GC: 22 (95.7)
OC: 19 (75.7)
TS: 19 (82.9)
AA: 19 (85.4)

I was never expecting much from reading comprehension but a 16 in Bio when I'm a bio major really??? I think I got a really bad draw of questions because they were so random and impossible and I studied the most for this section by far. Should I retake the DAT because of my Bio score??? I have a 3.7 overall GPA and a 3.6 Science GPA with a lot of research and shadowing hours. Thanks for any advice.

i know what you mean dude. i'm a bio major as well and i did the worst on bio. the only reason that i have a decent TS is because of orgo and gchem

a 16 in bio is no bueno, IMO. i would def retake if i was in your position

What got you distraught in the bio section? Was it certain topics? Was the destroyer enough? What was the difficulty like? I worried 🙁

Apply and retake:
I think its worth a shot to apply to some lower end schools while preparing to retake. That 16 is not gunna help you but it is the bare minimum for most schools to consider your application. So I would say its possible for some school to over look it if you have a above average essay+good extra curriculars/experience.
