My DAT test date is getting really close and I'm starting to panic a bit. I started doing the DAT destroyer in December and did almost the whole book before summer started. My test date is scheduled for July 8th and here are the things I've done so far. I've gotten through every single question on the DAT destroyer four times and made study guides on every single question I didn't understand and I'm going to continue to memorize my study guides and practice. I'm also doing crack the DAT for the PAT, math and reading section. I'm not too worried about those sections because Im doing find on the practice tests. I've also read an AP biology book, an MCAT general chemistry review books, organic chemistry 1 as a second language and organic chemistry 2 as a second language. Since my date is only 9 days away, I'm going to take a practice TOP SCORE test and see where I stand. But based on what I've studied, am I going to be prepared to take the real thing and ATLEAST score an 19 in each section?
 
I would suggest buying the tests from bootcamp (its real cheap) and learning all the questions and explanations. Its the best representative out there. Although QR might have been a little harder than the real DAT
That is definitely what I'm going to do! I'm going to do every question and learn the answers to everything! I may do the same with Top score as well (atleast for the sciences). I have about 9 days to bring up my score. Gen chem is really what I'm most worried about. It's my lowest score right now.

Okay so far I did a few practice tests and i got a 21 in biology, 18 in organic and an 18 in gen chem. Do you think its possible to bring up the score to atleast a 20 for each before my test in 9 days?
