unfortunately, I think a retake is necessary... it won't be impossible to get in, but if the school cares at all about qr, you will be below their cutoff.

too bad, because other than that you have pretty solid scores. on the other hand, now you know what to expect... so in addition to bringing up your qr, you should be able to bring everything else up a point or two as well! which would make for some very competitive socres.

I wouldn't stress too much, considering how you still have another year.

I think everything looks fine except QR.
13 QR is really low unfortunately.
If you can, try to bring it to 17.
16 is still low but i saw plenty of people who got QR 17 and still got interviews.

Seems like you have all the tools needed to pass, but the QR was a fluke. You absolutely need to retake it, but I wouldn't worry too much. Just focus on what went wrong in that section. Everything else should fall into place.

Retake, you still have time. Try to aim at least 17 for qr. Take the test once you are ready. Other than that you are pretty much set for as far as DAT concerns.

Try to improve QR, and you are golden 🙂

How bad would it look if only QRT increased and everything else stayed the same?

well if your QR increases and everything is the same, then in effect your AA would also increase, so it can only be good!

Retake 100%

Well - I didn't do very well on my chemistry regents and I am hoping to retake it. I was just wondering, how does it affects your grade.

[sfoksn]

Retake for sure. How many questions did you guess on the QR?

I didn't read others comments, but I would certainly retake this. Of course the QR needs to come up, but you did well on the sciences so you really only have to maintain that knowledge. The big thing is besides math, get that PAT score up. Also some schools are wanting higher RC scores which is suppose to correlate to doing well on Board Exams. Seriously though, the hardest studying for this test is the Natural Sciences and you obviously know what you are doing on those so just practice math (Destroyer is good) and do many PAT tests in the next 90 days and retake it!

Breakdown:
BIO: Kaplan Book, Comprehensive Study Guide (Came with TopScore), Sparknotes flashcards, DAT Destroyer (3X)

GC: Kaplan Book, Chad's videos!!, Comprehensive Study Guide, DAT Destroyer (3X)

OC: Kaplan Book, Chad's videos!!, Comprehensive Study Guide, DAT Destroyer (3X)

PAT: CDP (5 test one), Kaplan Book

RC: Vicviper's RC Strategy

QRT: DAT Destroyer (1X)

TopScore (2X) and Achiever (2X)

Total Time studying: 3 months but last 2 were intense from 12-9pm everyday and then break for dinner and then 11-2am

I don't remember the scores I got on the TopScore or Achiever
but... I remember that my RC score went from 13s to 19s just using and practicing the Vicviper's RC Strategy. I really didn't practice QRT cause with all the practice test I scored 19. I got stuck on one word problem on the real test and ran out of time. lol. GC I struggled with too because I didn't have a good foundation but Chad's videos did the trick I just watched them once in a weeks time and it worked! Other than that Bio all memorization! Orgo was fresh in my mind from the spring semester.

Hope that helps! Any suggestions of how I should study now or what else I should use would help! Thanks!

All your other scores except for QR are right on. Just apply and see what happens. you never know. apply to schools that don;t have cut offs. good luck!

can you also post your breakdown. ty.

i agree with the post above me. if you can reapply next year with no problems, then just apply, see if you can get in this round, if not retake it by the end of this year. I think you can figure out if you have some chance by December

 

[bunnytooth]

I guess if you have time just retake it....ur scores onother sections are great except for the math...try doing math everyday for an hour ..u'll do great....but if you want to apply this year..u can still try i guess....I am sure some schools won't have a problem...also my pre-dent advisor told me that re-applying is always a plus...either case...be positive and you will be fine 🙂

 

[808unrooted]

ok wait.. I might be getting my facts wrong but I talked to admissions people for a few different schools and some of them said they don't even look at QR..

Thank you everyone for the advice! I'm actually registered to take it again on Aug 26.
