You can skip around on the DAT right?

What I mean is that in the natural science section, I can do bio section first and skip to organic right then do general chem last? The reason why I ask is b/c I am still weak with gen. chem and need all the time possible and so I would like to work on it last. I have been practicing on topscore and dat achiever and there's a marked button, can someone tell me what that is exactly? Do i have to press that button or just go on to orgo and go back to chem? I hope I am making sense =) thanks in advance

In the science section, you can skip the gen chem and go to the org chm.
But.. as far as I know..
You have to clik clik clik..the next button till you get to the org part.. which will take some practice on cliking skills..

And the 'mark' is just for your reference, so you can get back easily after you take the test. This means that after the end of the section which will be after number 100
, there is a section shows all your marked questions and unmarked ones.. and also incompleted ones..
You donot need to click mark. I used it for the questions that I am not sure.
Also, you can click the marked number to get back quickly.

Did I answer your question clearly??
good luck~!! 🙂

I thought I could skip around too -- but there was a pretty long delay when switching between questions... you know , like a solid 2-3 seconds. Sooo I finally gave up on the skipping thing.

I skipped from bio to ochem then back to gen chem as well. What you need to do is skip forward through the gen chem without marking then finish the ochem. Once you click "next" at the 100th question a screen will pop up that says "finish test", "review marked", and "review incomplete". Push review incomplete and it will jump right back to the start of the gen chem, as long as you didn't leave any others blank.

Also, I think I only lost 30 seconds from clicking forward. For me, it was well worth it because I finished ochem and bio which were my two strongest sections then still had 38 minutes to finish gen chem.

best o luck.

i tried to skip to organic after gen chem, but it takes a long time to skip through all the questions. so my advice is not to loose the little time that you have and just go through all the sections in the order they give you
