Hey everyone, this will be my second go at the DAT, first time i scored a 19AA/19TS/19PAT (didn't study nearly my hardest, went through a lot of stress while studying) and I would like to score a 22+ because my GPA is weak.

First time around I took the Kaplan Course (meh), watched Chad's videos, and did Bootcamp (like a week before the test).

This time around I have been studying for about a month so far and this is what I have gone through:

ALL of CHADS videos (GC, OC, QR)
ALL of Cliffs AP
25% of Feralis

~80% of DAT Destroyer GC (I'm getting around 65-70% correct)
~30% of Destroyer OC (getting around 55-60% correct)
~50% QR Destroyer (getting 90% correct)

I have done the first test of DAT Bootcamp and got - 21 BIO, 24 GC, 19OC, 17RC, 19PAT

In the next month I plan on finishing Destroyer, finishing feralis, going over Cliffs again, and going over all Destroyer again while doing PAT Bootcamp

Is there anything else I should be doing? Am i on track?
Any suggestions would be awesome!

I think you are on a great track, remember to make note cards of stuff even if you miss a silly one that you "should" know, you have already put alot in and you can lose some of the small easy things in a month. Go over feralis and then go over it again and again... it is really important to have a good grasp on bio and it seems you do from bootcamp scores. try some other testing sites like qvault and datgenius for free tests to see where you are at after another week of studying. You'll be good and work on your PAT, you keep practicing and seeing hundreds of problems there is no reason you cant get a 22 on it if you are at a 19 now.

I must admit I am confused. You say you're retaking next month but in another thread one month ago you wrote:

I took my DAT and got a 22AA/23TS/21PAT

What exactly is going on in situations like these, do people just like to pretend they got a hypothetical set of DAT scores?
