here are my scores;
Out of all honesty; what are my chances ?
EDIT!!
Okay folks, im going to start by posting my scores, and im going to really get emotional/ serious/ honest with everyone here because i believe it matters.
My scores are;
Organic Chem 21 - 91.6 %
General Chem 21 - 89.7 %
Biology 18 - 72.1 %
Reading 18 - 52.2 %
Quantitative Reasoning 18 - 86.6 % < ---- I KNOW
Perceptual Ability 18 - 55.3 % 🙁
Academic Average : 19 ( 85.4 %)
im gona kinda rush this cause my friends are like dying to see me so please excuse spelling/grammar errors
Okay , im going to start out by saying i believe i was one of the unfortunate ones with my perceptual ability section. The rumors out there are TRUE. The DAT achiever is a PERFECT example of what this PAT on this test is like. I was SHOCKED when people told me this because i couldnt believe it was as hard as achiever but i saw this my self today.
Keyholes; Were ridiculously hard, there was not a single one that i answered that i was 100 percent sure of. < -- this was the hardest section of all for me and of all ive ever taken
Top front end; again, SUPER hard but not as hard as the keyoles. They were a perfect analog to achiever's tfe.
ANGLES- SURPRISINGLY THIS SECTION WAS A JOKE !!! I was really happy they made this section easier then i was used to, MAYBEEEEE because my other sections were just disgustingly hard? The angles were obvious to my eye and i didnt really need to decide on most of them. MAYBE 2 of the angles were within a 2-3 degrees apart but the rest were fine.
Hole punching - straight forward, and the rumor about the " origami" folds are true. I got 1 of those but im almost sure i got it right. Nothing special here, crack dat pat is a perfect practice scheme. In fact, CDP is way harder then the section i got
Cube Counting- a joke, a complete joke. This was a freebie section. Do the CDP and you'll be fine. Moving on.
Pattern folding- tough, but doable. Some weird shapes that i stumbled upon but nothing surprising.
Summary; Every section was on par with what i studied except keyholes and TFE. <-- those 2 sections were DISGUSTING.
What i used to practice FOR THIS section; CRACK DAT PAT and achiever / topscore
Moving along;
Biology
UNFORTUNATELY RUMORS OUT THERE ARE TRUE yet AGAIN.
This test is as random as hell. The questions they could have asked that would have made MUCH more sense were NOT asked. Nearly 75 percent of the material i had studied was not on this test. They asked some really weird questions bout dna rna etc...... Its random, and be prepared. I knew i got round an 18 when i was finished.
What i used for this ; datqvault, dat destroyer, <--- i went over every question in that book, i used campbells book, i used cliffs, and i used schaums biology book
MY ADVICE !!! BUY THE SCHAUMS OUTLINE BIOLOGY BOOK , THAT BOOK HAS IT ALL. I only started to use it the last week of studying cause i had nothing else to study from. I swear, i wish i could go back and open that book more often.
Moving along
General chemistry
I did well, and i knew i would do well coming in to this test. I know my chem and this section was straight forward with the exception of a few questions that requires some real chemistry knowledge that DOESNT include memorization. MOST questions were really stochiometry based in my opinion, know your mole conversions, know your redox etc..
Im going to thank Chad mono y mono later but let me tell you, CHAD IS AMAZING. His videos literally were PRICELESS!! PRICE LESS !! I watched his videos over and over and over til i understood every concept. Funny thing is i answered a question on that exam just based on some things he said.
Things i used for this section; chads videos, destroyer 2011, topscore/achiever.
Btw, the destroyer deserves credit. Its called the destroyer for a reason ! Ill tell you guys and gals this; IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DO EVERY PROBLEM IN THAT BOOK for GEN CHEM YOU ARE GOOD TOO GOOOOOOO
organic chem;
I knew my orgo as well, there were a few questions that made me think a bit longer, but i got through them cause i was able to put 2 and 2 together. Know your acids and bases, what causes one to be a better one etc.... Know your sugars and know your spectroscopy stuff, i got a few questions on proton nmr and 2 on spectroscopy.
The questions are very straight forward, but they can come at you in a weird way.
Destroyer and chad were amazing for this section as well.
Reading;
I thought i knew how to read so i didnt really study for this section much, but i was surprised. Many people told me that this section got harder and it did. This may be surprising but if im not mistaken, MOST of my questions were inference/tone type questions. They would NOT just let you search and destroy. I mean, you can do that for some of the questions without a doubt, but i can guarantee you will screw up.
Math;
OKay folks, this may sound a bit funny but i literally thought i got every question right. this section is a DARN JOKE !!! Maybe its cause i mastered the math destroyer, ( or so i thought)
i got an 18, i was PISSED. I think i got a bit too cocky throughout the last section and ofcourse ab it nervous, but i cant blieve i got an 18. I really thought i did the best in this section. This section was SUUUPER EASSSSSSSY.
ill stop here cause my girl and some friends are goin out but just a few more notes
i studied for 3 months like a freakin' boy scout, this test consumed my personal life, love life, school life, social life, any kind of life you can think of. My friends were out partyin' while i was learning the freakin carbon benson cycle. I lost a few pounds cause of the stress that was involved in this whole thing and it was a big journey so far. To be quite honest, i expected a higher score, but overall im happy. My school ta told me my grades are fine and i should be within the mark of getting accepted ( hopefully).
I am relieved, and im happy that this whole thing is over.
I may not have included some info that you guys want, so PLEASE let me know ANY ANY ANY questions you guys have. I WOULD LOVE to answer them. Everyone has been so helpful and im just glad to help out if i can.
Wish me luck and i hope my grades are good enough for getting in, what do you guys think?
