Hey everyone. I posted a little over week with a thread stating 19 days left..

I took DBC Full Length Test 2 on Thursday with the following scores:

Bio - 20
Gen Chem - 23
Organic - 17
PAT - 19
RC - 18
QR - 18(1 question away from 19)

A.A. - 19

I have DBC Full Length Tests 3,4, and 5 left. I also have yet to take the 2007 or 2009 DATs.

I took DBC PAT Test #9 on Friday, the day after I took DBC F.L. 2, and scored a 20. I have DBC PAT #10 left. My DBC PAT Test scores are as follows: (#6 - 18), (#7- 19), (#8 - 19), (#9 - 20)

I have done Math Destroyer 1-10, and have 11-17 left to take. I will take 11 tomorrow, and the only reason I am not close to done with it is because my copy was actually missing past test 10 in the solutions!

MY GOAL!:

I want to take at least 1 full length test this week, at the latest on Friday. I have been wondering about rescheduling for a couple of weeks now.
Most importantly, I want to be confident that I can make a 21+ A.A. on my DAT next Friday.

I am finishing up going through Destroyer Organic section for the second time(will be done tomorrow), and have only gone through Gen Chem and Biology 1 time.

Do you think it is wise for me to continue to study hard the next 2-3 days(Tuesday-Thursday), going through Destroyer Gen Chem again, as well as Biology, or at least as far as I can get, and then (possibly) take the 2009 DAT to see if it is satisfactory? Should I take another test, perhaps the 2007? Or a DBC Test(these can differ the most from the DAT)?

What should be my main priorities over the next 3-4 days, as well as after that, the 5 days along with the day before my test?

***UPDATE: The day after writing this post, I took DBC Test 3. I scored the following:

Bio/GC/OC/PAT/RC/QR

DBC Test 3: 19/23/18/20/21/19 20AA

DBC Test 2: 20/23/17/19/18/18 19AA

Tonight, I plan I review all my mistakes in the sciences as well as QR.I am going through Destroyer Gen Chem for the second time and practicing more OC Road Maps(Finished OC for 2nd time today). I think I should be reviewing my 400 untouched biology notecards in addition to my already sorted 200, and doing between 2 and 3 Math Destroyer's on both Wednesday and Thursday. I am going to start going through Destroyer Biology for the second time tonight as well..

Do you think taking the 2009 on Friday would give me a good indicator to say I should push my test back or not? If I take it on Friday, that would give me tonight, and 2 full days to study and review. Again, I have 8 days left, plus the day before my test(which I won't study much on.) Should I take a practice test other than the 2009? Perhaps the 2007 is still a better indicator than DBC tests?

Thanks for reading..


*** TL/DR: Just a quick note, I could have potentially done better in the PAT sections and QR sections.

Explanation:

I had to get up and answer the door in the middle of my PAT, and because of that ended up having to guess on the last 13 pattern folding. I guessed 1 of those correctly, and out of 24 total missed on the PAT section, 12 of those were incorrect guesses from pattern folding. I realistically would have gotten 8-10 of those correct, so I can safely say its probably close to a 21. For QR, I ran out of time from someone trying to get my attention, and couldn't click my answer, which was the correct answer. I am just telling you this to show the honest discrepancies between actual condition vs. what would have conservatively happened if I didn't have to answer the door and if I would have had my bedroom door locked.

You need to do these practice tests but also review them thoroughly. The 2007 exam should be taken a week out and the 2009 exam 3 days before your exam date. The 2009 exam is the most important thing you can do. At this point content review (Destroyer) should be nearly complete. If you're not confident then reschedule.
