I lived off peoples breakdowns pertaining to the DAT and got some really insightful knowledge! I will hopefully do the same.

Scores:
20 - Bio
23 - O chem
23 - G chem
21 - QR
17 - RC
20 - PAT

For starters, I would totally recommend the following materials: DAT Destroyer, DAT Bootcamp, Barrons AP bio flashcards.

Bio- I started my studying for Bio by going through the Barrons AP flashcards. It really simplifies things down and may not be the most in-depth resource compared to ferralis but it definitely helped refreshen on topics. I looked at one page of ferralis and instantly knew I could not sit there and read all those notes (kinda coincidental because my RC was below 20). I then followed up with Bootcamp and Destroyer.

O chem and G chem - Chads videos, Destroyer, Destroyer, Destroyer, Destroyer, Bootcamp.

Chads videos will give you the foundation; destroyer to lower your confidence, but teach you incredibly; then seal the deal with Bootcamp. I would recommend going through destroyer at least twice for both chems.

QR - I personally think Math Destroyer was a little much and Bootcamp. But they prepare you like no other. I didn't even touch QR for the last two and a half weeks because I accepted my fate and thought I was going to get 18 or less. Highest test score on Bootcamp was 18.

RC - Didn't practice once. Didn't even look at practice articles in Bootcamp and it showed obviously.

PAT - Bootcamp was all I used. It prepares you for more than enough. I would say spend some time on the generators each day. Didn't get higher than a 19 on any practice test btw.


Overall thank you so much to Ari, Joel, and the rest of the Bootcamp staff!!! The responsiveness is truly remarkable.

AND also,

Orgoman! Dat destroyer rocks.
