What happens in between sections?

I am taking the DAT in 2 days and was wondering how the sections are divided (in between sciences/PAT and RC/QR). Is there a page that divides the last orgo question and the first PAT question? If so, is there some sort of timer on that page, or are we allowed to take a deep breath in between the sections?

I was also wondering if the textures and visuals of the PAT sections are more similar to CDP or bootcamp. I know the only noticeable difference would be in hole punching (since CDP is just so clear).

Lastly, since bootcamp is online and offers their practice tests on the browser, am I right to assume that the DAT interface will be similar to that of CDP? Thanks! 🙂

There is basically a page in between bio gen chem that separates each section. At the end of natural sciences you can go back and review your mark sections. After time is up you go straight into PAT. Then you get your 15 minute break, and then you start reading, and once the time is up the computer lets you know and you start QR. There is a timer at the top of the page.
I thought Keyholes and TFE were easier on the DAT than bootcamp, I never did CDP. The angle ranking and pattern folding are on par with DAT Bootcamp, and the hole punching on the real DAT I found to be a bit harder.
If you've done topscore the interface is very similar. Anyways, goodluck !

Quick panic with thoughts of "Wait, what's perceptual ability again?"

I have a concern 🙁 I just tried opening the calculator on the interphase but it is not letting me punch in numbers! As soon as I click numbers with my mouse it changes to the number for about a second and then goes back to zero. Am I doing something wrong? I want to make sure I know how to use it before my DAT. I'm worried! Thanks in advance

Tears, lots of tears between sections.
