Bootcamp PAT

Just took my first PAT test on Bootcamp. I have been practicing with CDP for the past few weeks and I got around 20-21 when I tested myself. Today, I took Test 1 of the PAT section on Bootcamp and got an 18. Was pretty disappointed but since there is a slight discrepant between CDP and Bootcamp I wanted to know which one people think is more representative of an actual DAT PAT score?

Although, there may be no way to extrapolate that I am only looking for opinions. So let me know what you guys think.

Actual DAT is closer to dat bootcamp with the general consensus that bootcamp's PAT is slightly (very slightly) more difficult. CDP is way too easy and not representative.

I heard someone say that your bootcamp PAT score is likely the lower bound of what you should score on the real thing.

Tbh, I would even go as far as saying that the Bootcamp PAT was quite a bit more difficult than the real thing, but in a good way. Bootcamp has some of the more odd hole punches, keyholes, and TFE that I was actually a bit surprised to see on my actual exam. As a whole, I think the 2007 and 2009 ADA PAT's are probably the closest to the real thing, but Bootcamp is not far off at all and a great tool to build speed

What do you mean?

Like whatever you score on BC is the lowest you will get on the real deal, which makes sense since bootcamp is a bit harder
