HEY GUYS MY TEST IS ON MARCH 31TH (this week) AND I JUST TOOK THE LAST TOP SCORE TEST

TE 3)BIO 19 CHEM 17 WTF😡 ORGO 23 PAT 21 MATH 19 READING 18

TEST 1) BIO 19 CHEM 19 ORGO 19 PAT 20 MATH 17 READING 16

as far as i know iam ready for chem but i dont know how come i got 😱 17

i would like to know if iam ready for the test with tese scores :scared:
 
I don't believe that one practice test can say whether you are ready or not. On test #1 you scored a 19 on the chem section. I would spend a little bit of time reviewing formulas and doing problems.... Not sure what resources you are using....But focus on the type of problems that you missed. Figure out what you did wrong and make sure that if you run by one of those problems on the real thing that you wont miss it!

You are going to be fine!👍 Take a look at my blog... I have some study suggestions (maybe you can use the g-chem section in a short and condensed fashion)...I also have my DAT break down comparing real scores vs top score and DAT Achiever...

Be confident!!! Tie up any loose ends and relax 😉
 
By the way... PRactice scores don't always tell the whole story..Look at my practice scores for the BIOLOGY... NEver scored higher than a 17 and they ranged from 14. On the real thing I got a 19 🙂
 
I was in the same position as you basically like 3 days ago. I was getting 17-18 in topscore bio, 18-19 topscore gc, and 17s in OC. i got a 20 bio/21 gc/20 oc on the real thing. Dont stress about it, just review your stuff and go do great. =)
 
i took one topscore reading test and got a 21, on the real thing i got a 22.
other than that, i never took any math or pat topscore tests so i cant really tell you, sorry. 😳
but what i can say is that i think topscore bio got waaay too specific with the classification questions...like with asking about orders and classes.
 
I averaged 28 AA and 30 PAT on all 3 Topscore Tests, but ended up getting 12AA and 11PAT on the real thing.







JK. based on your topscore results, you should kill the Science section
 
I thought TopScore had good practice questions, but didn't really reflect the types of questions asked on the real DAT, particularly the bio section. I took that third TopScore test three days before my exam, scoring like 19's and 20's across the board, but I ended up scoring like 6 points higher on the real exam, so maybe that third test is just really hard?

Best of luck to you!

thank u , what about reading pat and math part ?🙂
 
TEST 1:
AA: 21
BS: 21
GC: 19
OC: 23
PAT: 20
RC: 20
QR: 22
TS: 21

TEST 2:
AA 21
BC 21
GC 20
OC 21
PAT 22
QR 23
RC 21
TS 21

TEST 3:
AA: 23
BIO: 19
GC: 20
OC: 28
PA: 21
QR: 26
RC: 21
TS: 22

REAL DAT:
AA: 23
BIO: 22
GC: 29
OC: 28
PAT: 22
QR: 20
RC: 17
TS: 25


So, you can see that GC ended up being my strongest subject when it was actually my worst when I was doing topscore. Additionally, my OC was pretty high too. My bio stayed relatively the same, however, I do believe I had a harder biology section because my percentage was REALLY high for a 22, it was a 98%. You can also see that I did much better overall on the actual test than on topscore.

As you can also see, I did ok in RC for topscore and ended up doing horrendous on the actual exam. So.. I think I was having anxiety problems because I felt kinda sick.. but... the QR for topscore is similar to the actual exam. The reason why I got a 20 in QR is because I had four statistics questions that I didn't know about so I guessed all four and most likely got all four of them wrong.

However, this is not to say that you'll do better on the DAT, some people do worse but people generally do better. Good luck. 👍

P.S. Try not to check SDN for the next few days--it'll panic you and you'll stress out. Just do what you have to do. Study hard, but DO NOT STRESS. Stress will murder you, so don't be its victim.
