I am taking my DAT in about 2 weeks and I'm really nervous about my current bootcamp scores

BIO: 20/18/17
GC: 21/19/22/18/19
OC: 18/19/17/23/19
PAT: 20/19/20/20/19
RC: 18
QR: none yet

I am really worried about my science scores. They are all over the place. I'm wondering if I should postpone my DAT for another 2 weeks.

Also using DAT Destroyer and Math Destroyer along with bootcamp

To be honest I never pay to much attention to my practice scores because practice exams don't tell you if you are going to score that on actual exam I seen people getting 30 on bootcamp and end with 22 on actual test! There are many different version of the exam! One thing I can tell you you know better anyone else if you are ready or not if you feel that you are not than postpone! I personally post pone my exam 3 times because I want be over prepared than under prepared! But you will never going to feel ready for this exam but the moment that you feel that you did all you could than go take the test! [emoji106]

bootcamp scores are pretty accurate provided you haven't taken the exam beforehand, this is a mistake I and many people have made. the 2007 and 2009 exams are also good references. my scores were on point besides the bio. My bio section was much harder than bootcamp or the 07/09 exams but it really depends what the computer chooses for you. see my breakdown below

It depends on what your goal is. If your goal is to improve by 1 or 2 points, I think 2 weeks is enough time, but if you are trying to get much higher scores, then you mayyy want to consider postponing. But i will say this- you don't want to burn yourself out. One of my friends postponed his exam twice but by the end he was so tired of studying that he didn't do as well because he was burned out. So if you think you can do another month of studying and improve, then i say go for it because you don't want to take the exam if you aren't ready. But if you don't think you'll be able to maintain momentum, then I think 2 weeks is good enough! Check out my BD- I did much better on the actual DAT than on my practice tests and I had very similar Bootcamp scores! But I made the mistake of not doing QR until like 4 days before the DAT which is why my bootcamp scores are so much lower than my actual. Do a couple of Chad's Math videos every day!! I promise they help.

I asked the exact same question because of the exact same reason (scores being all over the place)

Here is my DAT score comparison vs. BC/qvault to give you a little idea on how close the scores were.
