Why do you think you did so poorly in QR?

i didn't spend enough time on it, I am terrible at math. I took topscores and i was getting around 18's but idk what happened man it sucks.

Very common question. You should talk to the admission staff of the schools that you are going to apply or have already applied. I honestly don't think it's that bad. QR is the least important score, so I think you are good. Just talk to them and see what they want from you.

I know someone who got a 15 and was asked to retake the exam. The school just told him to focus on raising the QR score.

you should retake the exam, got a friend with similar score (20 TS & 19 on PAT) but he got 16 on RC and 14 on QR.
Got few interviews but still no hope

But he still got interviews at those schools. In his case, I think that the problem is not in his DAT score but in his interviewing skills. At least in the case of the schools that he got interviews at.

I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but I'd retake it although I'm not a dental student or anything. I'm currently studying for DAT myself. This is just my opinion, I might me wrong.
