For those of you guys who have just recently taken the DAT, how was it? I heard that for those who took it from april to last month, the bio section was surprisingly hard. How did you guys do?
Any kind of feedback will be greatly appreciated!!

Good luck in the application process!
 
I think the Bio section is always a bit suprising, although I'm not sure what people mean when they say it was "hard". Mine was extremely easy (May of 2002), with the exception of 3 or 4 questions I've never even heard of.

My friend took the exam at the Sylvan in Orem, Utah on July 3.

He scored a 23 academic and a 21 PAT.

He took the Kaplan course and studied every day.

Given the time he spend studying I honestly though he would have done better, but I can't really judge how valid his studying was or his methods.

I hope this helped somewhat. Just keep in mind that the test is going to vary from person to person.
