Bootcamp PAT Generators

[nostalgicfreedom]

Hey guys! So I wanted to know if Bootcamp PAT generator creates brand new questions each time or are there like a definite pool of questions (like a 100 or something) that you get a question from. The reason I'm asking is because i don't want to go through all the questions right now because I'm taking the dat next summer, and I don't want to know the questions beforehand (from remembering them).

I'm pretty sure there is a bank of questions for each part, and it just randomly picks. I would say that although you might feel like you might remember/memorize answers, there are sooooo many that I think you'd only remember a couple very clearly. Or, you might doubt your memory and you'd have to attempt the problem as if you'd never seen it, so that works too.

tl;dr: I think you'll be fine if you went through the all of the questions from the generators.

Thanks! You're right that I will forget most of the questions. But I'm just paranoid that I'll cheat myself when I start actually practicing, making the practice useless lol. Because I took bootcamp bio 1 test a couple of years ago, and now I seriously regret doing that.

Don't worry, I know there are plenty of questions, and I think for the individual tests 6-10 and the full lengths 1-5, I think it is different questions (not too sure about this though!). Either way, they'll always be presented in a different order and if you practice many many times then maybe you'll start to memorize, but who knows! I think you should be good to go!
I know exactly how you feel about that haha I took the BC test 1 for most subjects in 2015 and I surprisingly remembered about 50-70% of them.

Even if they repeat the questions, it's good practice for your eyes and brain.

Yes that's true, but I don't want to remember most or all of the questions and not have any good practice questions left (since I'm taking the dat next year).

I always used the generators and even though sometimes for hole punching some of them repeated it's not going to make much of a difference. I did however run out of practice for keyholes and towards the end I just went ahead and did the subject specific test for that
