DAT in a week in a half? Am I ready??

[toothy97]

Hey guys! So I just completed Bootcamp Tests 1-4 and my scores are as follows (not including biology, because unfortunately I had taken those subject tests before I took the full length tests).

Gen-chem/o-chem/PAT/Reading Comprehension/QR
Test 1: 23/21/20/23/19
Test 2: 23/19/19/23/19
Test 3: 26/22/20/25/24
Test 4: 21/24/19/27/19

In these next few days, I'm also planning to just cram bio (Going to read two Feralis chapters a day while completing unfinished Bio destroyer problems). I'm also going to complete Gen chem/o-chem destroyer problems while rereading notes and old exams. Any input on what to do these last 11 days, as well as how your bootcamp test 1-5 scores compared to the real thing would be appreciated! Thanks

Your scores are pretty similar to what mine were and I ended up with a 26 AA so I think you'll be fine. Just review your weak areas like bio and dont stress too hard the last week. Try and take it easy especially on the day before and day of your test. Good luck!

From the looks of those scores, I would say you are ready to do well! Have you taken the 2007 or 2009 DAT? I would say those are the most accurate practice tests you can get, but plenty of people never take them so that's up to how you want to spend your last couple of days. Also remember just because you are getting those scores on Bootcamp, doesn't guarantee a good score, but it is a good indicator so keep working hard and you will do great on your test.

Don't forget to go over as many QR quantitative comparison questions from bootcamp as you can!

Posted this on another forum but applies here, takeaway, BC is a pretty good measure of what you will score:

What's up all, I recently took the DAT (08/07/2017 8:00 am) and did fairly well (21 AA 20 TS 23 PAT). Along with Destroyer, I used Bootcamp to prepare for the test, studied around 40-45 hours a week for 2.5 months. I will first provide all 5 of my BC test scores, with section averages, and then my real DAT score. Overall, I thought the questions were comparable to Bootcamp, but the depth of Destroyer problems makes them a highly valuable review.

BOOTCAMP:
BIO - 25 | 22 | 18 | 22 | 21 AVG - 21.6
GC - 21 | 19 | 22 | 24 | 21 AVG - 21.4
OC - 19 | 19 | 18 | 22 | 20 AVG - 19.6
RC - 19 | 21 | 23 | 24 | 22 AVG - 21.8
PAT - 22 | 24 | 25 | 23 | 23 AVG - 23.4
QR - 20 | 22 | 24 | 20 | 20 AVG - 21.2

REAL DAT:
BIO - 20
GC - 19
OC - 21
RC - 22
PAT - 23
QR - 21

I also crammed my bio notes in the days leading up to the exam and it worked out well for me for the bio section. As for whether or not you're prepared, your practice test scores look really good but I would try to take the 2009 test soon to really get an accurate idea.

Thank you all so much for the encouragement! Also, for bootcamp did you all find test 5 to be significantly harder? The o-chem and gen-chem portion destroyed me compared to all other 9 tests
