Whats up folks?

So I took the DAT yesterday and am pleased enough to post what happened here in the hope that something I say can help you.

PAT 24
QR 17
RC 26
Bio 20
Gen chem 19
O chem 22
TS 20
AA 21

So sections and what I did/what I would do differently.

PAT: 24
Bootcamp and DAT Achiever.
These two are awesome and if you practice them, and practice them again, you'll do just fine. I felt like the real PAT was much, much easier than the practice exams on achiever and was about on par if not a little easier than Bootcamp.
Best way to get a good score, practice and then practice some more.

QR: 17
Bootcamp and destroyer.
I got the score back and was kind of surprised as when I was taking the test I felt like I did much better than this. With that said, I own the score and know I should have practiced more. Bootcamp is great for timing and destroyer was hard enough to prepare you for anything.

RC: 26
Bootcamp and Achiever
This section was so much easier than Achiever and slightly easier than Bootcamp. The trick is to read quickly and diligently, paying attention to key words and possibly jotting down locations of where you saw them for fast reference. I read a few articles here and there but mainly just did practice tests and that was good for me.
Super pleased with this score and I think just about anyone can do well on it.

Bio: 20
Bootcamp, AP Cliffs, Destroyer
I was most concerned about this section and was studying clear up until the day I took the exam. I had been getting 17s on the practice exams but would go back and study things I missed. With that said, I was happy with my score but probably could have studied more.

Gen Chem: 19
Chads videos, Bootcamp, Destroyer
Kind of surprised by this score as well. I was nailing high scores on practice exams going in and so I slacked my study prior to the test. Probably would recommend keeping up with it even if you're strong. Chad is the man and helps you review and learn quick tricks. Super helpful.

O Chem: 22
Chads videos, Bootcamp, Destroyer
Felt good about this, used Chad to brush up and practiced the heck outta the questions. Paid off big. Just like the class, you just gotta work.

All in all, I was please with my scores. Wish I would have pulled a better QR and recommend you study that hard if you feel weak at all, it'll pay off.
Practice tests, practice tests, practice tests. That is the key. If I can do sort of well. So can you!

Nice period spam, brah. Try bookmarking the threads like you like instead of bumping dozens of old threads.

These are fantastic scores, don't beat yourself up over the minor mistakes, I think you should be proud! A 21AA is always impressive!

Thank you! Sometimes it's hard to compare to all the peeps who post on here with their 25AA 27 PAT scores. I mean, go them! But it also makes you feel kind of discouraged ha. Thanks for the encouragement!
