When considering your DAT score goal, it’s wise to look at the average scores for the schools you are conidering applying to in order to understand what is a good or average DAT Score. For starters, though, here is what you need to know about your DAT score.<\/p>\n

DAT Scoring<\/h2>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\nThe DAT<\/a> is scored on a 1 to 30 scale. For each section of the test, the actual number of multiple-choice questions you answer correctly per section is your raw score. All multiple-choice questions are worth the same amount\u2014one raw point\u2014and there\u2019s no penalty for incorrect answers. That means you should always fill in an answer for every question whether you have time to fully invest in that question or not. Never let time run out on any section without filling in an answer for every question.<\/p>\n

Your raw scores will not appear on your score report. Instead, they are converted to yield your scaled scores, the ones that fall somewhere in that 1\u201330 range. These scaled scores are reported to schools as your DAT scores.<\/p>\n

In addition to scaled scores for individual sections, schools are also provided a composite score, which is a scaled score that factors in your performance on all the sections. Your composite score is not merely an average of the scores from all the sections but rather an evaluation of your performance on the entire test.
