So, I've lately taken Bootcamp practice tests that leave me worried for both RC and QR.
TS and PAT were all above the 20's but... RC and QR were a STRUGGLE.
RC:
My only prep for RC prior had been Crack DAT Reading. I've taken 5 practice tests and averaged around 18-21. I got use to the structure of those tests; seems like they efficiently ordered questions with the succession of the passage . It was pretty nice! The questions basically guided me through the passage. After going through the detail-specific questions, I would gain an idea of the passage as a whole. Then, I save the big-picture questions for last.
Bootcamp, on the other hand, seemed to present questions more out of order. On top of being a weak reader, I was not prepared for that structure. I quickly switched to the search-and-destroy method, but that just left me way lost. I scored a 17 on my 1st Bootcamp RC test.
My question: Is the test structure similar to CDR or Bootcamp, in regards to how they number questions in accordance with the passage?
QR:
Also my weakest... by a lot. I've already went through a little over half of Math Destroyer. Math Destroyer was definitely difficult. I used it mostly untimed/as a "learning tool" to get a hang of the questions asked. After a while, I thought I was getting the hang of it all. I've planned on going back through the book a second time, under timed conditions for every test.
However, Bootcamp's QR was ROUGH for me. Seemed to present things never touched on by MD. Did not finish the section, and scored a "<15". UGH.
My question: Uhhmm, what should I make of this? Haha. Obviously need to work on this big time, but how did you guys think Bootcamp compared to real?
& anybody else suck at math???
