I'm finally done, took the dat this morning:
AA 20
TS 21
OC 22
GC 21
Bio 20
RC 19
QR 18
PA 16
I'm very satisfied with these scores except for PA.
do you think my PA score will hurt my chances of getting in??
My cumulative gpa is 3.36
BCP gpa: 3.5
Science gpa: 3.39
I've applied to UMDNJ, Stonybrook, buffalo, Maryland, NYU, Temple, Upitt,
BU, Tufts. Will my PA score of 16 hurt me at any of these schools??
Now for the test,
I was worried about Gchem. But it was lot easier than any practice kaplan and topscore. Very simple calculations. I had the famous bio sea urchin question.
Kaplan science practice tests are definitely a good review. But the real DAT is much more basic. Ochem is very simple compared to the kaplan exams. Kaplan review book covers everything you need to know for Ochem.
Gchem: mostly formula based, only 2 or 3 concept questions. With most questions, i just had to know what formula to use and calculations were very simple.
Reading: passage on Calcium - very straightforward questions;
Aging
Antibiotic resistance
For the people who have to take the exam in the future, don't worry you'll do fine. Do not stress. I know it's easier said than done. I was stressed out 2 nites before the test. But then nite before, i just stopped thinking about it and watched a movie instead.
Any responses to my question of my chances of getting in with a low score of 16 on the PA..will be greatly appreciated
