This is my fourth time taking it, (yes i know..it's been a long journey) but is the TFE on the bootcamp suppose to be hard? The previous times I took it the last one being in august 2012, I received a 23 on the PAT using just CDP. I'm doing something different now and am going through bootcamp but I found out the figures on the bootcamp for TFE to be difficult to visualize. Has the PAT section changed since 2012? I heard something about not being able to rely on the line counting method.

What do you guys think of bootcamp vs. topscore in terms of the sciences compared to the actualy DAT?
 
TFE is harder only in the sense that you can't use the line counting method on every single one. Sciences are always hard to judge just because it's so broad.. But I think both do a decent job with trying to prepare you. I'd probably recommend boot camp over topscore overall
 
On the contrary, I found the BC TFE section much easier/cleaner than the actual.
As for the sciences, BC prepares you well particularly in GC/OC.
