Alrighty, got my DAT Monday morning...so I just took another practice test...heres my results:
AA: 18
Bio: 18
Gen Chem: 19
Organic Chem: 23
PAT: 18
Reading Comp: 20
QR: 15...eek!

Guess I'll be focusing on Topscore...and also...does the ole' understanding that your scores will move up in everything except the PAT apply to Topscore tests? I sure hope.

From what I've read on these forums...yes, your scores should move up a few points.

It appears so from other posts in comparison of their real scores and topscore practice tests. I have also noticed recently that the PAT drop has seemed to less of a "norm" from Topscore 😀 For me, I surely hope that is the case. Don't worry about the QR because you should at least have a 17 on the real thing. Try to get the PAT up to around a 20 to be safe and you should be fine.

Don't worry, your science scores should go up a little bit on the real DAT...at least that was my experience. My PAT score went down two points, but that doesn't mean that it'll happen to you! 🙂 If you want to improve quantitative reasoning, go through the topscore answers by going through the test again and suspending the timer. It was really helpful for me to review every single answer for every practice test I took.
