Bootcamp Twice?

I'm 4 weeks out, should I do Bootcamp tests twice?

I'm currently working through Dat Destroyer a second time and taking Dat Genius full length exams. (scoring in the low twenties)

Should I save the 5 full length Bootcamp exams for the final stretch of my studies? Or should I start Bootcamp now, then finish the last 2 Dat Genius tests, and redo each Bootcamp test a second time?

I've always thought Bootcamp was more of tool to peak rather than a tool to study. I have recently realized most people run through it twice.

What do you think?

DAT Bootcamp is a decent tool and definitely tests a lot of important concepts. Feel free to do it twice although with the reading you might already know the passages so idk if you want to do those twice. What do you think of DAT genius? I'm about to give it a whirl soon.

That's what I plan on doing. There were a lot of things that I learned from it the first time doing it, and I plan on doing it again the week before the test. I try to use it as a learning tool (same with DAT Genius) and not for assessment (what the 2009 will be for).
Make sure you understand every single thing that you were unsure about, I spend even more time going over the full length than actually taking it.

I'm going through BC twice for the sciences for sure, and at least going over some of QR and PAT twice because I feel like I need it. Practice is just very helpful! Good luck!

I don't think you should go through them twice. I would save them for about 2-3 weeks before your test. I used the first test very early on in my studying and regret it now, because if they are good for anything, its really just to practice timing/practice the reading section. My DAT is scheduled for this upcoming Friday and I wish I had more practice tests to do. FYI I've done better on 2 Full Length"supposedly harder" Bootcamp practice tests than I did on the 2009 today! Although score trends were similar, the 2009 was 2 AA lower than the avg. of the Bootcamp tests... Don't use practice tests to determine, or even try to determine what you'll get on the read DAT. They just help with timing, and can show relatives strengths and weaknesses. My 2 cents

I went through them like 6 times. Wasn't satisfied until I could comfortably get 30's on every science section.
