Hi everyone. I am very disappointed and confused with my scores in bio section of bootcamp.
I 've taken three bio test till now and my scores are 21, 19, 23. I am disappointed because my goal is to get all of my sections above 22 in real DAT. And my confusion is because the sections that was highlighted in the second test that I got a 19, was the section that I answered all of the questions correctly in the test that I got 23. I am standing at a point that I don't know which sections I need to review. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks,
 
Once again don't pay attention to practice test. I took the dat once before I was getting 30 on boot camp on orgo got 21 on real thing I was getting 19 on bio got 26 so practice test does not tell what your scores are gone be! Take qvault bio and u may get 18 or do genius bio you may get 16 because those question are harder than boot camp! There are many version of the test so don't think just because u getting 23 or 19 that's what u going to be just focus on learn and not the score itself!! Many of us made that mistake just because we score bad we feel like that what we are gone score on actual test not true!

Well Said.
 
Yeah the biggest thing with all of the test prep materials is they can only give you an estimate of how it might go. Use them only get an idea of where you went wrong. Which section is important but so are specific parts (i.e. redox reactions, photosynthesis etc...) Use these as a tool to strengthen your weak areas.

this is making me feel better. I'm two days away from DAT and my PAT/QR score is not great.. and I'm freaking out!!!!!!
 
Practice tests should be used primarily to determine which areas of your knowledge could use more review (if you're getting a lot of genetics questions wrong, you should brush up on that topic) and to gauge improvement over time, not so much to accurately predict what your real score is going to be.
