hey congrats, very nice balanced assault on that sucker!
Like rainee said i think ur def fine just apply and enjoy whats left of the summer...can u post a break down?? I know ur prob tired lol so ill wait i really wanna know what u did for RC i reallllllly wanna own that besides the rest of the test of course lol
Thanks! I am just worried because I do not know how I stand with my GPA and DAT...being international... aghh this is so stressful
🙁
but yesss ... I've been waiting to enjoy summer! But to be honest with you... I actually did not get a chance to practice RC...!!! I did the practice exercice in Barrons and planned to do Topscore and Kaplans but did not get to it...! I was taking summer courses and jus super busy but honestly it was not too bad... all of my passages were science-related and not too difficult... i think you will be fine! espec if you are used to reading scientific articles from coursework... I know I was! but basically i recommend SEARCH AND DESTROY... don't waste time reading the whole article properly beforehand...!!!
As for a breakdown, I was really all over the place in my studying! I did not take a prep course or invest in CDP, destroyer etc...
for Bio I read KBB twice and also went through some topics in Schaums (Genetics, Molecular Bio...)... as for the human biological sciences and systems I was pretty comfortable with it from uni coursework... I Did the practice exams in Barrons (+CD), KBB and Topscore... I also did Qs from MCAT Examcrackers
I used the same sources for GC and supplemented it with my own uni notes and online sources... NO CHADS, I like Chemguy from youtube! haha i think he does great review, um again did some Qs from MCAT Examcrackers along with Barrons, KBB, Topscore... there were a lot of calculations but they were not too hard... I think topscore is good practice... and if you did okay in uni and understand the basics you should be fine! except I had one freezing point Q that I did not know how to do
Orgo...I just took the course recently so it was pretty fresh in my head... there wasnt anything overly difficult... did not do too much studying in this section
and MATH was just horrible!! I went through barrons, KBB and GRE Review and did Topscore... but by the end of the test ur so tired and drained and hungry! lol and its just hard to get through it... I think i was going a lot slower and time just went by before I knew it... did horrible! so I think for this section PRACTICE A LOT so that ur able to be quick on the real DAT
PAT I just used barrons, KBB and Topscore... this was a weak section for me but I am happy with my score... once again practice practice!!!
I didn't have time to do all of Topscore but I think even if you know KBB from front to back you should be good to go for science review and then just do as many Qs as you can to drill concepts into your head
I'm pretty sure this post was not too helpful lol but yeah that's about it!!
ughh I really regret my Math... its bugging me!!
Anyway, good luck on ur DAT!!
