Hello SDN.

My DAT is in 2 days! My BC scores and 2009 DAT scores are below:

(Bio/GC/OC/RC/QR/PAT)
Bootcamp 1- (19/22/19/<15/20/18)
Bootcamp 2- (17/21/20/17/20/20)
Bootcamp 3- (19/26/21/21/22/21)
Bootcamp 4- (20/21/22/21/24/19)
Bootcamp 5- (18/20/17/-/-/-) Stressed on that day, didn't manage to finish OC.
Average: Bio- 18, GC- 22, OC- 20

Bio 6-10 Individual Tests- (28-30/40), all score of 20s
Ochem 6- 21

2009 ADA DAT-
I thought 2009 DAT is one of the best indicators to test whether I'm ready or not, but the test questions had a lot of errors...
Bio- 22 (35/40)
GC- 26 (29/30)
OC- 19 (23/30) So many weird questions and errors in this section..
PAT- 22 (80/90) So much easier than the bootcamp questions! Especially the keyholes and TFE.
RC- 21 So much easier than the bootcamp passages.
QR- 20 So different from the bootcamp. Have a couple of very difficult questions. Would the real DAT be more like bootcamp QR or the 2009 QR?

So what do you guys think? Am I ready or not? Very stressed right now >_<.
 
Dat 2009/2007 QR section is out dated. Very little trig/geometry on the real thing. Also conversions are gone. Several new types of questions that are not on the 09/07 tests. Also bio questions changed slightly so just be aware of that.

What do you mean bio questions changed slightly?
 
If you read the news letter on the dat/oat page it says the questions changed slightly. More about the interaction of systems now.
 
Advice? Keep doing what you're doing. 2009 scores are solid imo.
 
Im getting the same scores on Bootcamp and my exam in 5 days.
can you let us know if BC is easier or harder than the real thing please.
