Been taking crack the dat practice exams and keep getting 15 for all the sections . Im keep trying but should i schedule to take the exam or I shouldnt because its extremly low.
 
Please, Use Bootcamp (and if needed DAT genius). BC is very very similar to real DAT. I used Crack DAT PAT for my first DAT try and screwed up because I got high scores on it and ended up bombing the section.
After using BC, I scored well into the 20's on PAT
 
Bootcamp is great! Also if you haven't used destroyer, you might want to check it out. When are you taking your exam?
Im extremly upset about my scores im getting on the crack the dat. Its 15 and its low and i study so much , due to my scores i didnt register for a date to take my exam because i want to make sure im 100 percent ready . So u thibk bootcamp practice exams are better and will let me knoe where im actually standing?

Yes. I bought crack the dat. The questions they ask for the sciences are irrelevant and random. The 15s you are getting dont mean anything. It is not representative of the DAT.

Hi, my suggestion is to not think about the estimated scores too much. They literally mean nothing, especially at the start of your practice. I also got 15's when I first started - it's because I didn't know how to answer the questions. I would recommend to focus on learning from the explanations and practicing some questions untimed so you get better at answering the questions correctly, this is what will improve your score. You should spend more time reviewing your test than actually taking it, look over every answer choice and convince yourself why each answer choice is correct or incorrect. Just taking practice tests will not do anything to improve your score.

Thank you very much. Yes i spend a week going over the answers. What is a good site to practice and see where u stand?
 
It's not so much about knowing where you stand as much as it's about knowing how to get the right answer. I wouldn't even focus on where you stand relative to other students until you gain more mastery of the PAT section. I would maybe recommend doing some untimed practice of the problems so you can focus on getting the right answer without the pressure of a clock to build your skills first. There are a lot of resources out there to help you, I'd check each out and see which one you like best.
