Should I retakeeee?
I took my test on Sept 14th and got:

Bio: 17 👎
GChem: 20
OChem: 20
TS: 19
RC: 24
PAT: 20
QR: 17👎

AA: 20
PAT: 20
TS: 19
 
judging by the number of posts that i have read asking this same question, i would say that your scores are pretty solid overall. i'm not sure if some schools have a cut off or minimum score or not so that is something you may want to look into for the bio score and pick it up from there. nicely done overall
 
Dang man, it depends on what your GPA, EC's, Personal Statement etc are like. I did terrible on QR 14, and for some schools its below the cutoff others its not. Honestly, after I took it I felt like I fell short in BIO as I bet you do too, no offense I am just sure that you worked so hard and felt like the bio was very very random and does not reflect your knowledge of the subject. At least I did. So I hated studying for the DAT, but if you have time before you apply whenever that may be you may want to retake or just apply and see what happens. I did and so far its working out ok, I wish I had an interview from every school, but its not reasonable. You did very very well, so if those were my scores I would not retake. But that is just my honest opinion. A 20AA and 19 TS are great.
 
AA: 20 PAT: 20 TS: 19

These are the numbers that really matter... 20 is awesome... definitely don't retake... if anyone tells you that you should they are an idiot!

The average accepted AA is 19, so if you have a decent GPA you should be good. If your GPA is floating around the 3.0 range, that is a different story!
