I'm a bit bummed out at the moment. I studied for 3.5 months, and these were my scores. Please let me know if I should retake.

Bio 16 🙁
Chem 24
Orgo 25
PAT 23
Reading 25
QR 15 😱
AA 21

For Bio, I was getting 21's on Kaplan's Bio and 20's on TopScore. Out of no where, I saw some Biochem type questions on the real thing, and I started to panic a bit. Like, amino acid junk, ketones, and fatty acid metabolism junk. I saw 3-4 of these. There were also two ecology questions that completely threw me off. I'm so pissed.

I'd get 22-24 on QR in TopScore and 25-ish on Kaplan, but the real thing was soooooo different. I think I shoulda prepared for this more. Seriously, how does a person do a cube root without a calculator? Or the Sine of 35 or something? I think I had 20 word problems total, because I just clicked C's for the last 8 questions. I'm just venting here. AAHHH!!!

I went over Kaplan, Destroyer, Achiever, and TopScore. I knew everything cold, especially Destroyer, but it didn't seem to give me that edge here. Seriously bummed out right now, guys. 😳

Should I be glad that I got a 21AA? Even if it comes with a 16 Bio and a 15 QR?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I think you're above average, considering everyone here's been getting pretty low bio scores recently.

Did the biochem questions require pI and pKa memorization?

Easy there buddy...you're questions are a bit too "specific." Someone might get there panties in a wad and start crying again.

just wondering.. what is your percentile with a 16 bio? isn't that supposed to relate to how you did compared to others so is it a high number?

User of Needle, I think you would have been the 23-25 DAT scoring dude if you would have taken it last cycle.

I am sorta convinced the DAT has gotten harder. Usually science scores are leveled but for your case, your low scores are more than 7 points away from you other scores!!!

I think 2008 cycle is going to be very interesting to say the least.

16 in bio might be a problem if you are applying to a top school, you should be okay though with the scores you got, as long as your gpa is 3.5 or more.......good luck

Your did fine, you have a really strong chance because those scores are still well above average even with the BIO and QR score
