I got the following: PA 17, QR 18, RC 21, Bio 19, GC 25, OC 22, TS 21, AA 21.
I have a GPA of 3.9 and science GPA 4.0. I really do not want to retake the DAT but I am just worried about the 17 for PA. Should I retake the DAT or will my GPA make up for it? Also, what are good resources to study better for PA?
 
You're just fine! You don't need to retake the DAT. Your science and reading scores are great, and those are the most important scores. Best of Luck!!
 
Depends on what school you want to get into. I had the same pat scores with a better AA and TS. people said the same thing to me... Looking back I would have retaken it if I had the time.
