also says I got an 18 (68%) on the Perceptual Ability

Didn't even try Organic Chem questions so I got 0 out of 0 on those. Haven't had Orgo yet, will take in the Fall.

Percentages Correct:

Bio 68%
Chem 52%
Orgo 0%

Percep ability 68%

Quantitative Reasoning 35%

Reading Comprehension 79%

I haven't started prepping until today, and I plan right now to take the DAT in the spring. Just found the forum.

Thoughts? Godbless,

It means you have a lot of work to do. I got about 13-15 on the science sections on my diagnostic test and about 18 on the pat.

18 on the pat is actually good. It means you're a natural and you just need to practice a little more.

Don't worry about the low science scores because that's what I first had and within 1.5 months of studying you should be able to get into 20s.

It means nothing bad. It just means you need to learn/relearn some stuff.
Before I was interested in dental and before I knew anything about the DAT, I took the free Kaplan test DAT test with a friend... got an 8TS. HAHAHAHA. Nonetheless, I studied for 2.5 weeks and took my DAT recently and did better than an 8 (TS19). lol. I'm going to retake my DAT in September though and study for more than a month this time. So basically, don't worry too much about the diagnostic score... it just tells you what you need to work on. Good luck!
