You answer 90% of the questions correctly on the DAT in the month of June.
In September, you also answer 90% of the questions correctly on the DAT.

Given the above scenario, is it true that you'll have a different AA average for the two months?

Possibly...its a standardized test so your score is based on how well you do compared to others...and since there are multiple versions of the test, 90% correct on one may give you a different AA then 90% correct on another version.

No...it's the same percentiles every time for the same version.

For example, someone that takes the same test version as me and gets the same score (eg 14AA), will have the same exact percentile even if they take it 3 months later. There are no loopholes. 🙂
