Crack the DAT and Bootcamp alignment to real test?

Members don't see this ad.

So I test Friday, and I'm averaging the following on Crack the DAT and DAT Bootcamp:

18/19s for Bio in Crack the Dat
20s/22s for Orgo in Crack the Dat
19/20s for GChem in Crack the Dat

For DAT Bootcamp:
20/21s for Bio
18s for General Chem
19s for OChem

Which one do you all feel is closest to the real one? I felt like DAT Bootcamp was more rigorous than Crack the DAT imo.

I just hope I can keep this up test day!

Wish me luck!

I only did Bootcamp.

Here is what I posted in another thread:

"As far as how representative DAT Bootcamp is compared to the real thing, here are my results:

General Chemistry- My actual DAT score was exactly equal to my average over the five Bootcamp Gen Chem exams.
Organic Chemistry- My actual DAT score was +3 compared to my average over the five Bootcamp OC exams.
Biology- My actual DAT score was +8 compared to my average over the five Bootcamp Bio exams.

A couple of things to note:
1. I doubled down on Bio significantly. I reviewed it on Anki, every single day for 2 hrs in the morning. I made Feralis' Bio notes my best friend.

2. I spent the entire two days before the DAT completely reviewing my 500+ OChem cards, notes, and Dr. Romano's OChem Roadmaps.

3. Both of these measures were done after my Bootcamp exams; I had like 3 weeks to work on this stuff before my DAT, but after my DAT Bootcamp exams."

Good luck!

What about for the QR section? They just put some new tests up a few months ago. Think it was accurate to the real thing?

I only used Math Destroyer for QR, and my score on the real thing was 2 points less than my average QR Math Destroyer score (I used an online score conversion table).

For QR, heck yes!!!! I ran out of time on QR for the real thing and scored a 17. My scores for QR were usually around 17 or 18, so I would say DAT Destroyer QR is eerily similar to the real DAT QR.

Did you use Math Destroyer for QR practice? From the breakdowns I've read, I thought most people said Destroyer QR is too easy compared to Math Destroyer.

I didn't use it at all. I used Chad's Videos for QR and a Princeton Review book. I felt that the topics in the videos were spot on to what was on the test.
