I just got out of the exam and my scores are as follows:
PAT: 17
My nemesis and my downfall. I will not take the DAT again and PAT can suck it. I skipped right to HP and cubes and then to patterns which were a joke. Angles were not as hard as bootcamp, actually the entire PAT section is easier than bootcamp, the only issue is time. BTW I got up to keyholes and TFE I had 30 problems to do and only 11mins. I did as much as I could but straight up guessed on like 10. Whatever, I'll crotchet something for them at interviews.
QR: 19
Lucked out. Did one bootcamp QR and 2 Math Destroyers. Just did all the problems I knew in one wave and the rest in another wave. The simple math is where you get the points, do it in waves and it will help you. I didn't get to answer 3 Q's but I would've had an 80% to get them wrong anyway.
RC: 24
I got a 22 on my last one and this is the only section I don't study. I read voraciously and have never had an issue with this section. What I cannot understand at all is what I got wrong, I finished with 25min left and went over every question and my answer could be found directly in the paragraph. Have no idea how people get 30s her.
BIO: 21
So random, wtf. I did all the destroyer BIO and after my 2nd run through a few days before the exam I was scoring 38/40 consistently. Scored 20+ on all bootcamp BIO exams and saw some exact questions I think too! This section is breadth hardcore, I knew so many little facts which were unnecessary. Read Cliffs 3rd edition and do the AP BIO multi-choice and you will get a 20+. I didn't do that which I kind of kick myself about.
GC: 20
Use bootcamp and Chad's for this and you are golden. Very conceptual, had some weird stuff I never saw before but overall nothing too insane.
OC: 18
I screwed up at least 3OC questions because I blanked and invented a new kind of mechanism. What hurts the most is the fact that I knew about my mistake with only 15seconds left in the section so I had to eat those errors. Overall Bootcamp was great for this section, if I didn't blank out I'm sure I would've scores much higher.
TS: 20.4
AA: 20
Materials Used:
Bootcamp 12/10
Chad's 10/10
Destroyer BIO only 7/10
Feralis (first 23 pages) 7/10
2007 DAT: 7/10 (wish it was still this easy!)
Buy Bootcamp, Chad's, Cliff's 3rd, and DAT+ Math Destroyer. Do those and stick to a schedule and you will be fine. I'm a crammer so I was really streaky to my studying but I kicked it up the past few days. If you can stay motivated consistently you will kill this exam.
Thank you to everyone at SDN that gave breakdowns and tips and all. I seriously would not have done it with all the help. Also Ari, you are the man. The time and effort you put into making Bootcamp so well rounded must've been ridiculous. I'm sure you'll be someone to watch in years to come.
Adios.
Also I have 2012 Destroyer & Math Destroyer for sale, as well as the rest of my Bootcamp subscription, first one to message me gets em both free. Just pay the shipping on the destroyers.
