Bootcamp scoring not as strict?

I got a 20 on the first Bio test but I only got 28/40 right. I would think this would be a point or two lower, no?


I'm guessing we can't save our tests, correct?

Unlike QVAULT, BootCamp's tests cannot be saved. Make sure before you close your browser, mark the ones you got wrong and then go back to the same test and just press "submit" and correct your answers that way.

I don't think the scoring is lenient. Their tests are meant to be somewhat harder than the real test so they curved the score based on how others have done. That's how the DAT is scored anyway. For me, their tests were representative not only for the content and wording of the question but the score as well. Predicted my scores within a point or two on the sciences. 🙂

20 on the first Bio test is very good. Keep studying. 👍

I would recommend that you save the rest of the tests as full-tests and not use them as parts if you still have more than a few weeks before the test date. I think their tests are the best full-test exams that's available right now.

I was thinking the same thing as I was preparing, especially when you compare it to Kaplan's "DAT Score Chart". Thankfully, Bootcamp was "wrong" in a good way! I was scoring 17s in bio on Bootcamp and got a 21 on the real thing. I attribute this improvement to the things I learned from Bootcamp. Keep on doing what your doing and you'll be great!

I actually thought their bio was particularly a bit easy and I consistently got 24-26. I ended up with a 20 in the real exam however. It seems like they have questions you can get right even without knowing the material in the question.

So Illuminati jumped 4 points from his average BootCamp Bio score.

Durden dropped ~5 points from his average score.


I scored 22, 21, 22, 22, 23 in that order for BootCamp Bio section and scored 22 on the real thing. Take a look at my breakdown for other scores too if you want to compare.

There you have it! So it was a terrible score predictor for the other two while it was right on for me. Take our scores for what it's worth. Like the other guy and I said, getting a 20 is a good step in the right direction. Just keep working hard and eliminate your weaknesses. Be prepared to be tested on any concept that appears in your AP Biology books that you have reviewed. Know your Genetics, Cell-Molecular and Biochemistry really well.

Good luck! 👍

Thanks for the feedback everyone 🙂. I'm hoping to take the exam in the next week or two. Got a 22 on the 2nd biology exam.

Do you have your gc/organic bootcamp scores as well? Those would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Check out my breakdown. I have an whole excel sheet with scores and dates. Glad to help if you have any questions.
