So i took the DAT today:
Gchem: 20
Bio:19
Ochem:22
PAT: 19
RC: 15
QR: 13
GPA: 3.6 total and science
The passage was piano!
The math: 90% are word problems.
I know there are schools that have cut off, i have already waste a lot of money on this cycle.
Should i have at least some chance at some school?
p.s.
For science, i use kaplan online, destroyer.
Biology:
This section is really straightforward. NO HORMONE, NO BIOME, NO PLANT. Know
mitosis, life cycle, how to calculate gene frequencies, embryology well. These topic repeat a lot on my exam. I spend too much time on studying biology that i should not; instead i should focus on my math + reading skills.
Resources used on
the order of importance:
1/Cliff
2/Schawn--> I have like 2 questions from here but it is really basic
3/Textbook--> only to look at diagram.
4/ Destroyer--> overkill but good for helping you to memorize stuff or help someone like me falling asleep reading Cliff or Schawn.
Chemistry:
Oh my god, it is so easy than any practice test you did else there. Believe me, really easy. Kaplan blue book is really good to review basic. I could get 20 but i got mess up the sign of enthalpy stupid me. They also ask me really straightforward questions about ionization enery
Sources that i used: kaplan blue book+ destroyer
Destroyer in my opinion: Overkill but it make you to understand concept better. I think if you need 20+, you need both kaplan practice test +destroyer.
Ochem:
I swear i i used only 15 mins for this section. Only 1 HNMR questions. Really basic concept: SN1/SN2, alcohol dehydration. They asked me on one of the questions is alcohol dehydration E1 or E2. I was like, are you serious? All the study from destroyer.
If you want to get 20+: Kaplan practice test+ blue book is enough. Destroyer overkill and make me waste my time to go over my testbook like gillion times
PERCEPTUAL ability:
I have to give prop to
Barrons! Lady and gentlemen, remember we all scream about
how hard the angle is.
Barrons give you TRICK on how to do these.
Another awesome source is CDP (Crack DAT PAT). This help me a lot
