Hello everyone!!! I just took the DAT last week and I’m so happy with my score. I used both Bootcamp and booster and I studied for about 8-9 hours a day/ 6 days a week (sometimes 7 days a week!). Biology: (Bootcamp: 19, booster:21, real DAT:22)I took all practice tests on Bootcamp and booster. At first, I was so overwhelmed with the material, but repetition is the key! I made A LOT of flashcards that helped me retain as much information as possible. I read the condensed notes at first but then noticed that there are few things missing so I went over Feralis notes as well. 2 weeks before my test, I redid all of the questions I got wrong on bio bites and question bank and retook all practice tests.

General Chemistry: (Bootcamp: 22, booster:18, real DAT: 21) and Ochem (Bootcamp: 23, booster:19, real DAT:21) I am sure so many people have said this already, but Dr. Mike is the GOAT
🐐
. I watched all of his videos, did the question banks, and took all practice tests. Again redid all of the questions I got wrong two weeks before my exam.

PAT (bootcamp: 19, booster: 19, real dat: 19)

RC: 20 (did not study as I should for this section, so I am happy with the 20).

QR: (Bootcamp: 21, booster: 20, real dat: 20) Math is my favorite topic and I have always been good at math since I was young. So I don’t have lots of things to say about this section. I did all of the practice tests on Bootcamp and booster. Bootcamp is more representative of the real DAT.

Good Luck everyone!!! Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.
