DAT

[Obscene Eyedeas]

Ok so being less then twelve months from having decided what college or university or IT courses we want our school has FINALLY given back the DAT (Differential Apptitude test) results and i wanted to know does anyone know much about them? Are they accurate? And what score is considered high?

Also if you have taken them what have they said you were most suited to?

Mine said I am suited to being a psychiatrist or a doctor or so my guidance councillor says.

Oh and are there any better aptitude tests?

Ahh memories from TY...They are not exactly accurate. They are a mere guideline and there are millions of factors that can affect the result such as fatigue. Truth is you will never get an accurate result. And the closer to 99 you get the better, but there is no best score IMO.

Ohh I did mine twice, as I was going through a hard time and my numerical ability was like 70 points lower than what I'm actually capable of. So I took it again in September. :)

I DID fall asleep! Emm I can't really say for sure. You should really ask your guidance counsellor for a more accurate answer :( sorry!
