Topscore Test Result, DAT in 3 Weeks

So I have been doing problems off and on for about a few weeks. I have Topscore, and I just decided to take the first full-length test. I did so because I want to gauge where I am at right now, and how much more I need to do, and in what areas. Now my results are below, and along with questions if you could give me some feedback.

Bio- 20 (Need to study everything more I think)
Chem-19 (Rusty on acid/base)
Ochem-20 (Haven't studied ANY RXN's----NEED TO)

PAT-24
WTF?---I have done CDP tests 1-5 and averaged a 26. Is topscore PAT more difficult? It didn't seem like it, but it seemed like poor quality graphics wise.

RC-22
I am BAD at RC, but everyone says that Topscore is easier than the real test. So this makes sense, but will this maybe correlate to a 19? I hope so.

QR- 24
I have heard that this is close to the real thing, but not sure. I did a Kaplan QR and got a 29 (seemed WAY too easy). Let me know....

AA-21
TS-20
I would be MORE than happy with these scores if they were on D-day. I was very suprised with how well I did on the practice test.

Now, I have Destroyer (went thru once), Kaplan BB(went thru once), Cliffs AP Bio and AP Chem (Both once), CDP(have 10 tests, did first 5), CDM(Did tests 1 and 2, averaged a 24), and ALL of the Kaplan Subject tests etc.

I plan on starting to study really hard on Mon. next week, Gives me 16 days til the test, and study/take tests for 8 hrs. a day for those 16 days. I was just looking for some opinions as to any study ideas over that time? What materials should I go into the most? Which areas to study the hardest? How many RXNs to know? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if anyone has questions as to what materials are working best for me, I will surely answer. Thanks ahead of time.

wow! nice score with three weeks to spare!

how much and how did you study!?


p.s. I think you will do really well on the DAT!

I would say you will get around that score if you were to take the DAT right now. For me, topscore predicted my DAT score the best. Also don't believe the hype about QR. If you are getting around 24, that means you know your **** and you will do well on the real one. My topscore on QR was 25/24/30 and I got a 29 on the real thing. I believe you will do well on the real DAT as well. Good luck studying. Lastly for bio, do destroyer! Many of my friends in dental school told me destroyer was the best for bio for some reason i shouldnt say on SDN =)

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I have heard so much stuff about QR I was worried so hopefully I can pull off a great score in that section to bring my AA up. My sciences will be my main focus for the next three weeks, I would be so pumped to get a 21TS, but a 20 would be great too.

I have studied about 5hrs a night about 3-4 days a week for a month. I work full time so its tough to be focused, so I will am stopping my work this week to focus on DAT ONLY!! As far as how I study, I did one week Chem, one week Ochem, then one week Bio(atually 2 because there is a ton of ****). Now that I know my stuff somewhat, I will be doing like 2hrs chem, 2 hrs ochem, then 2 hrs bio, then the last 2 hours per day I will do either PAT test, QR test, or RC test. My final 10 days I will do a test per day followed by brushing up with stuff.

If you have any more questions, let me know.
