Hey guys,
My DAT is Saturday and I am so afraid! My scores on the practice tests are all over the place!
B/GC/OC/PAT/RC/QR
Topscore 1: 18/17/15/20/21/20
Topscore 2: 18/18/17/19/20/19
ADA 2009 : 20/19/18/20/19/15!

CDP: 21, 19, 17, 17, 21

All of these are within 2 weeks of each other. I thought these tests were supposed to be standardized? What happened to my math score!

For those who have taken the real DAT and the ADA 2009 sample test how did it compare to the real thing? For math, What where the mirror questions about! I felt like I was doing physics!

What math equations should I memorize? Like conversion ones?

I really just want above 18's on everything! Do you think I am ready?
 
As long as you are hitting close to 20 on topscore, I think you are okay!

My highest Bio score on a topscore test was a 26 and the lowest was 18! So your test score fluctuations are not that bad!

Good luck and stop being so paranoid! If you've prepped hard until now, then you should be okay! Good luck!
 
I think you need to work a bit on your OC. I got 19/25/30 (3 tests) for Topscore on OC, but ended up getting a 19 on the real DAT (I honestly thought the difficulty was about the same). but on the other hand, I got like 18/20/19 on bio, ended up getting 22. it's a last minute call from now, so just start memorizing all the reactions. easiest out of all 🙂

I agree with this. If you can get your OC up, you'll have a better chance at 20+.
