27 AA / 28 TS / 26 PAT (Breakdown + practice scores)

Members don't see this ad.

I just took the DAT earlier today, and wouldn’t mind to share my journey : )

Materials used:

• Chad’s GC and OG Videos
• DAT Destroyer (except for Bio, didn’t have time to go over it even once)
• OG Odyssey
• Math Destroyer
• Bootcamp (purchased it only twenty days prior my test date)

DAT had been in my mind for nearly a year, but May (three months ago) was when I started to study for it religiously. As an upcoming senior, I did not take any college credits during this summer and reduced my work hours for the sole purpose of studying for this test.

• Bio (25): I used BC Academy notes and Campbell powerpoints (went over about 30 chapters out of 55 total Campbell chapters). Due to time shortage, I couldn’t even start on Destroyer’s Bio questions. I went over BC Academy notes three times and found them very helpful. Due to the randomness and huge volume of Bio contents, I knew other than studying hard, I have to be lucky to get a good score on this section.

• GC (30) & OG (29): Chad’s, BC, and Destroyer are all you need. On average, the questions of the real exam were way easier than the questions of these three resources. OG Odyssey (written by Destroyer’s author) was also helpful, if you want more practice on organic chemistry.

• PAT (26): BC generators and its practice tests were sufficient. PAT questions on the real exam were easier than BC practice tests.

• RC (23): As you may already notice (from my grammar and way of writing), I am not a native speaker. I came to the U.S. six years ago (during the sophomore year of high school), without having much knowledge of English . I always thought RC is a nightmare that would crash my AA score, but I was surprised at how easy the passages were on the actual exam. At the end, I have nearly 10 minutes to spare. Although my score for this section is the lowest of all my scores, I am indeed very satisfied with it.

• QR (30): Although math is not really my favorite subject, I always saw this section as a booster to my AA score. I am from a country with a lot of math geeks, so the level of math that is tested on DAT was never hard for me. I barely had any Data insufficiency questions on the real exam, but had couple easy Comparison questions.

My Bootcamp practice scores (test 1-10) :

Congratulations!!!

Amazing scores! Love those science scores! 30 in QR and GC is very rare indeed, wish all my student could get 23 in reading. Wishing you the very best and happy that our products helped you out.

Hi! First of all, congrats on the great scores! I totally envy you for those scores.... haha

I'm in the process of doing practice tests and I want to hear your opinion about how the TFE generators on BC might be too easy compared to the real test.
Would it be a good idea for me to keep practicing with those generators?

Thanks!!
