Hey guys!

So I am going to be taking my DAT in a little over a week and I was wondering when would be the best time to take the ADA exams. (I bought the paper version of the 2009 one). I was thinking about taking one this Sunday and then one later on in the week? What do you guys think and also what order? 2009 first then 2007 or the other way around? Also, I have a couple of bootcamp test left but I was thinking about doing those section by section I am not sure if I should simulate those as real test too.

One last question/concern.
I have taken the first 7 bootcamp PAT test and on EVERY single one I have made a 19. Will I be able to break a 20 on the real exam and what can I do in my last week to try to improve?

Thanks for the help!
 
Hey Baller23,

You are on the right track. Your PAT scores tell me you have a good foundation but I don't think anyone can predict exactly what you will score..Just focus on getting about a 20 plus, don't think of anything less.

Taking the 2009 and 2007 exams will burn up quite a bit of valuable study time. I would only do 1 of them and if you have time left do the other. If you feel super strong in all the sections than I suppose you could do both. If you are in you're last days of study I personally feel time should be spent tying my loose ends and less on testing. If you know the answer to the questions on the DAT, time will NOT be an issue. If you are not prepared no amount of time will help.

That's my 2 cents.

Good luck to you..! Finish line is getting closer..
