Just got my DAT scores back and I honestly don’t know how to feel.

TS: 430
PAT: 430
QR: 330

I’m a first-time applicant and I already submitted my application so it can start processing, but now I’m really worried about that QR score. I was averaging around 450 on Booster, so I genuinely have no idea what happened on test day.

I’m honestly on the verge of tears because I feel like I did well in the other sections, but that 330 in QR is really stressing me out.

For context, I also have a 4.0 GPA.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with one really low section score? I’d really appreciate any insight on how bad this looks.

PAT, ORGO, RC, weren’t to bad and booster was slightly representative with them. Bio I honestly count tell you but not like booster at all. Chem wasn’t to good I didn’t find booster tests representative. QR was absolute hell have no clue what I did starting making up my own formulas 😭. I was averaging 500 across the sciences hoping for the best. Any August second test takes lmk your thoughts!

Hi all, my test is this Sunday and I wanted to see if anyone's been through this same headspace before theirs.

Practice averages: BIO 510, GC 480, OC 490, QR 440. Doing well on RC and PAT question banks too. A lot of these tests were retakes, and I've been strict with myself scoring them — if I remembered an answer but didn't actually know why it was the answer, I marked it wrong on purpose instead of lying to myself. So the scores feel real to me, not inflated.

Even with that, there's just so much info across every section that I'm scared I'll blank on something Sunday no matter how much I review at this point.

Anyone felt like this right before their test? Did it mean anything about how you actually did, or was it just nerves? What actually helped you those last couple days?

Does anyone have any tips, resources, or websites that helped you improve on Quantitative Reasoning for the DAT?

I’m currently 25 days away from my exam, and I’m averaging around a 300 on DAT Booster’s QR section. I’m having a hard time putting the word problems together and figuring out how to approach them. The math itself often isn’t the issue—it’s translating the problem into the correct setup.

If anyone struggled with QR and found something that helped, I’d appreciate any advice.
