Hello,

For those who took the DAT and used DAT Bootcamp to prepare for it, how were your Real DAT scores compared to the Bootcamp tests?
 
Not once did I get higher than a 17 on the QR of bootcamp. As a matter of fact not once did I complete the dang thing in the allotted time. Got a 19 on the actual DAT QR with time to spare. SO there's that...same for reading...always ren out of time...time to spare on actual DAT.

Same here... I cannot seem to finish the QR section on time
 
All of my scores were almost perfectly predicted by bootcamp. The exceptions would be PAT and QR where I scored several points higher.
 
I haven't been doing the greatest on the DAT bootcamp, I have been scoring the same or lower than my actual score last summer. So I am hoping that I do see some improvement on the actual DAT( in 3 days) like y'all say.

DAT Bootcamp QR absolutely wrecked me. I got a 19 on the real DAT as well 😛
 
almost identical. QR was a little easier on the real DAT but the curve on bootcamp made up for it.
 
PAT was higher on actual. I scored something like 21, 23, 21, 20, 22 on Bootcamp then got a 26 on the DAT.
Math was lower on the actual DAT.... My first Bootcamp QR score was a 24, then hovered around 20-21 for the last 4 practice tests, but I got a 17 on the real thing despite thinking it was the easiest section of my DAT...
O-chem was lower on the actual, I scored 27 on 1st then something like 24, 26, 29, 27 but got a 21 on the actual (I think I probably went too fast and didn't double check like I should have)
Gen-chem was also a bit lower on the actual as I averaged around 25-26 on Bootcamp but got a 23 on the actual.
Reading comp was higher on actual (25) where I averaged around 21 on Bootcamp.
Bio was much higher on actual than Bootcamp for me. I was scoring 19-20 on Bootcamp but got a 28 on the actual.

Basically, my actual scores were pretty much the opposite of what I expected from Bootcamp. I seem to be an anomaly however, so don't assume the same will happen to you.

God bless you. I just did a QR section on bootcamp and got a 17 and this hit me really hard 🙁
