Taking my DAT Thursday, how will this 2007 scores correlate?

I haven't taken the 2009 practice DAT, but I did take the 2007, and these were my scores:

Bio: 21
Gen Chem: 23
Ochem: 30
PAT: 21
RC: 23
QR: 20

Am I ready to go, based on the difficulty level of the '07?

2007 is very outdated in terms of difficulty (especially PAT). It's still one of the best representations though because it was an official exam. I'd say you're probably ready. See how the 2009 exam goes (as close as you can get to the real exam).

Never took the 2007, but I did take the 2009 a few days before the real thing, and my actual DAT scores were much higher than the 2009 exam.

Good call. I'm planning on taking the 2009 on Tuesday. I wish I could just submit my '07 scores and be done 😀

Take 2009 also. Just don't get caught up on the 2009 QR, it's ridiculously hard compared to the real thing.

Good luck!!

Would you say everything besides QR is fairly representative on the 2009?

Also make sure you use the paper version because the electronic 2009 exam doesn't let you review which question you got wrong.

Good call. I ordered it a few weeks back, and have just left it sitting in the packaging. Kind of annoying that the online one is so restricted!!

You should be alright. I also scored a 30 on the 2007 OC section, but didn't do hot on the actual one. But overall, it's a OK representation of the current one.

Was the 2007 Ochem section just too simple?

30 OC 2007 Version

23 OC 2016 Real
The rest wasn't too far off but OC specifically was way to easy on that practice exam, I didn't miss a single question on it whereas obviously I missed some on the real deal.
