I got really lucky because I decided to switch my method the week of my DAT, I wasn’t consistently getting good results reading the whole passage through. I read half of the passage, skimmed the first sentence of later paragraphs for key ideas, then answered the questions with faster search and destroy. Ended with a 23 after averaging 18-20 on bootcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used other resources so I can't compare it but I thought the passage topics and difficulty were similar. The actual questions on the DAT were easier even though I did worse than on my practice As for method, I like to go through and read all the questions for a passage first, then skim read the article answering questions I remember as I go along, then search and destroy for whatevers left.

straight_teeth Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 RC 20/AA 21/PAT 18 For my first time writing the DAT, and considering I thought I would get <15 on RC and PAT when I walked out of the exam, I'm happy with my scores. Posting my scores In case anyone is feeling discouraged looking at the incredible scores some students have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risk21 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 RC 21 Bio 23 Chem 26 Science: 24 AA: 23 PAT: 20 First time writing the DAT, was pretty surprised by my scores. Thought I would have done way worse on the Bio and RC, but better on the PAT. Still really happy though! Also I know i'm in no position to give out advice, but I basically just studied using BootCamp, Kaplan Blue Book, and Cliffs. I'm a pretty fast reader but for RC I never read the passages and just used search and destroy. For me, the passages are just way too long to be able to read them and still retain the small details they ask, so I had to try other methods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittykitty Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Do we find out what percentile our scores are eventually? Does anyone know how to find our percentiles? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah mine isn't showing up anymore. Happened last year too according to the 2016 thread (see here http://forums.premed101.com/topic/93057-thoughts-on-the-november-2016-dat-exam/?page=6). I believe it's so they can upload the November scale and next time they should be sending out an e-mail when the scores are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majinpatrick Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 6 minutes ago, spalding said: You just have to refresh the page that has the scale and the Nov scale should show up Yeah, that's right. When you first open the pdf page, it is Feb 2017. Once you refresh the pdf page (https://www.cda-adc.ca/_files/becoming/dat/student_access/DAT-Score-Scale.pdf), it should magically change to the Nov 2017 scaled score.

rocmarc Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Some of the scaling is so different from the Feb one they had up yesterday. So weird how some schools have certain cutoffs when the scoring isn't even consistent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kicking myself for not saving it yesterday and even the one in my history auto links to the Nov one now. Maybe somebody else from yesterday did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So weird how some schools have certain cutoffs when the scoring isn't even consistent I’m sure their method is consistent but it would change from year to year based on number of students writing and how many students received each score. You can already see that many more people wrote in nov compared to the feb test from the scale someone kindly posted from feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So weird how some schools have certain cutoffs when the scoring isn't even consistent I agree, you can tell the PAT was a lot harder this test. 20 for example is the 72nd percentile in feb and the 82nd percentile in nov.
