Schools that I want to attend are USC or U Penn or UOP or UCLA ...
I don't know if i should retake the test?

Also I wanted to talk about my test because it was nothing like the one that I practiced lol.. smh....It didn't even look like the ones from the ADA 2009 and ADA 2007. I don't know if they are changing the test up but the style of questions were nowhere near DAT bootcamp and DAT destroyer and Math Destroyer .... I don't know if the practice helped me get a okay scores but while I was taking the test... I felt like I wanted to cry lol ..... DAT Bootcamp's PAT seemed to best represent the PAT section. However, keyhole section seemed really weird... nothing seemed to fit the hole....

Bio

I used Cliff Notes and Feralis Notes
Practice questions were DAT destroyer and DAT Bootcamp

Gen Chem and Ochem

I used Chad's Video
Practiced with DAT destroyer and DAT Bootcamp

PAT

I used DAT Bootcamp to learn the technique
I practiced with Crack the PAT and DAT Bootcamp

QR and RC

Did not do much of prep. lol probably why I got such a low score on both of them
 
I would retake if you want UoP- they want high scores: 22+ (per their own website). And that RC is not doing you any favors with UoP.

That said, solid performance this time around- good job.
