Hello,

I take my DAT in 6 days, and I just wanted to get some feedback about my DAT BC scores vs. the New (QR) DAT - each comparing the difficulty and score translations.
I still have DAT BC Practice Test 5 and 2009 DAT to take (Friday and Saturday - exam Monday).

DAT BOOTCAMP SCORES:
Bio: 24/22/21/23
GC: 21/25/20/17
OC: 18/18/18/18
PAT: 20/20/21/20
RC: 17/18/20/21
QR: 17/16/17/15 :(

Bootcamp QR and RC are exactly like the real DAT, at least in my case. I took the DAT in June 2017.

Bootcamp's OC, GC, BIO, and PAT were similar in terms of difficulty for mine. RC and QR were much easier. Remember there's different versions so just prepare as much as possible!

All of my scores are attached in my breakdown thread. I was in a pretty similar situation as you are currently in with the exception of OC. Definitely work on that and keep working on QR and you should be in pretty good shape.

What's up all, I recently took the DAT (08/07/2017 8:00 am) and did fairly well (21 AA 20 TS 23 PAT). Along with Destroyer, I used Bootcamp to prepare for the test, studied around 40-45 hours a week for 2.5 months. I will first provide all 5 of my BC test scores, with section averages, and then my real DAT score. Overall, I thought the questions were comparable to Bootcamp, but the depth of Destroyer problems makes them a highly valuable review.

BOOTCAMP:
BIO - 25 | 22 | 18 | 22 | 21 AVG - 21.6
GC - 21 | 19 | 22 | 24 | 21 AVG - 21.4
OC - 19 | 19 | 18 | 22 | 20 AVG - 19.6
RC - 19 | 21 | 23 | 24 | 22 AVG - 21.8
PAT - 22 | 24 | 25 | 23 | 23 AVG - 23.4
QR - 20 | 22 | 24 | 20 | 20 AVG - 21.2

REAL DAT:
BIO - 20
GC - 19
OC - 21
RC - 22
PAT - 23
QR - 21
