Hello,

I need some recommendations for full length practice materials besides bootcamp! I've been going over DAT destroyers about 4 times now and getting low 20s all the sections on DAT bootcamp (except READING!!! Ugh!). I haven't done 2007 and 2o09 sample DAT exams yet but I'm running out of materials!!

Since I'm retaking this time, I want to be prepared as much as I can.
I've been looking at either top score or qvault. Any thoughts or recommendations?


Thank you so much.

I used qvault for BIO and RC, and they were very good, especially RC. I thought qvault RC was much more representative of the real DAT. RC is my weakest section, and I was getting around 17s in Bootcamp. Because I am a slow reader, the mapping method wasn't working, so I switched to S&D, but because of the style of the questions, I had a hard time. Then I bought qvault, and I was scoring 19-20 using S&D. I got 20 on the real thing. Even though that was my lowest score, I couldn't be happier.

I'm a slow reader too!! I've been practicing the mapping method but I took so much time just for reading and understanding the passages. I do need more practices. Thank you so much for your suggestions.

I bought topscore pro. I think it was $55 and came with 3 full practice exams. I took my real exam today and did a lot better on it than any of my topscore pro exams. I felt the science section in topscore was a bit harder than the real DAT because of some detailed unnecessary Bio questions you won't see on the DAT. To me RC, QR were representative and PAT was just a bit easier but not by much.

That's great! I've heard that topscore was too easy compared to other prep materials but i will definitely consider it. Thank you so much and congrats on your exam!!
