I took the DAT last summer and did ok 18 AA applied but was not able to get in got some interviews and wait listed. From what I have heard retaking the DAT is the best thing I can do.

Q1 I have a 2010 destroyer a friend game me and was wondering if I should use this or by the new one. If not would it be recommended to buy the DAT Qvault for extra practice since I will have some time to review all the info. I am planning on taking the DAT in mid July.

Q2. I took biochem lab this semester alone since I already graduated and got a B+ my oGPA is a 3.55 and sGPA 3.43. I took biochem class two years ago and this lab was harder than I thought since I had not review the material in a while. Is this grade going to effect my chances in particular or as long as I do better on the DAT I should be fine.

Right now I have been reading through Kaplan blue book and doing some other random readings since reading was my worse score of 15, but a bit unmotivated, especially today is just one of those days. Any motivational tips or anything extra would be greatly appreciated. Taking this beast on for another dance was the last thing I wanted to do.

Q1: Nah I used my friend's DAT Destroyer as well. Just erase the marks your friends left unless they used highlighters or pens. Might as well save some money. Oh and Q-Vault is also an excellent thing to invest in. It helped me practice my timing and endurance.

Q2: A B+ isn't a bad grade at all. I don't think it should affect your chances. Do well on the DAT and you'll do fine.
