Hey everyone, I took a practice test for the first time today and scored a 340 AA. I plan to take the DAT end of June. Do you think that is enough time to improve to get a good score of at least 420? Usually, I do really good on reading with the practice reading tests scoring in the 500s ,but I was shocked to only score a 300 on the reading when taking the full length practice test. The PAT was based on time more than anything, and I was just generally weak in the chemistry stuff, but Biology was strong which I scored a 420. I just want to know if that is a sign that I should not take the DAT end of June.

Test Date (Approximate): End of August 2026
Time Zone: Central Time (Louisiana)
Study Stage: About 2 weeks into studying

Weakest Subjects: QR, Reading Comprehension, Biology

Preferred Meeting Platform: Zoom

A little about my study style:
I normally prefer studying alone, but I'd like to have someone to review material with every couple of days for 1–2 hours. I think discussing concepts and quizzing each other would help reinforce the information and keep us accountable. I'm especially interested in reviewing Biology notes, Anki cards, and DAT practice questions together.

Is anyone interested in being a study partner or forming a small study group?

Taking my DAT tmrw give me advice or last minute concepts that showed up on recent exams I should review today-especially bio and gen chem
