cool thanks man. I have BC already but was looking for something that I could use as a daily practice. BC has its 5 practice tests, which I intend to do closer to my actual test. But I'll definitely keep that in mind
I haven't done too much research on that resource. I've looked at a lot of them, but thats one that I don't know too much about. Do they sell individual subjects? Or is it a comprehensive thing? And more importantly, how does it compare to the real test?
I can't speak for how it compares to the real test but I do know Ari recommends it to supplement the Bootcamp tests right in his schedule/list of required materials. I'm sure if he'd recommend it, the tests must be comparable to Bootcamp's, and those are obviously pretty popular. I am beginning studying this week (test date late May) so I haven't taken a practice test from either yet, but I have purchased both Bootcamp and Genius.
Cool! I appreciate the input. Sounds like it's fairly accurate. How would you compare the amount of recall, and tone questions? And just to clarify, those are your RC scores right?
That is excellent news. And excellent scores lol. Would you mind sharing what year you took your exam? If I'm not mistaken, they made some changes after 2015.. I'm not exactly sure what those changes were though, or if they even affected the RC portion.
Thanks bro. I think you're right about that strategy. I've been implementing that in my recent RC practice, and came out decently. Actually, I probably read the first half, then answer as many questions. After that, it's kind of a mix between reading the rest and search and destroy. That's kind of why I like doing a passage with questions per day. It allows me multiple chances to play around with different strategies, and show me what pace I need to be moving at, as well as how to tackle questions. I prefer this to just reading 1-3 SA articles because for me, I'll just sit there and read it without any reference to time.
reading was my worst section on the SAT. i got a 500 something it wasn't good!. Honestly, i felt like i studied for reading less on the DAT than the SAT and I felt the questions were much easier than the SAT.Thanks bro. I think you're right about that strategy.

Also, I hear what you're saying about stressing over this section. It's just that I've been notorious my entire life at sucking at RC. I sucked at it in SAT, GRE, and my first attempt at the DAT (this is round 2). lol, I'm just trying to get some accurate practice in so that way I have the best chance at any improvement. And I'd really like to not suck this time. But maybe I won't do a passage a day. Maybe I'll tone it down to like once every 3 days. Or just see what works. Thanks again for the advice. Any and all is welcomed.
Yea, I agree with you on that. Small daily habits can lead to great results in the long run. Currently I do 30 min of PAT/day (mimicking Feralis), and I guess I'll do like 3 days of 1 SA article, and then 1 day RC passage. SA does have some pretty interesting articles, so it won't be that bad.
Hah, thanks! I took it on July 7, 2016.
Nice!!
Yea, from what I've read, there are several versions of the test. Nonetheless, if your actual score has to be different than your practice scores, I'd much rather it be higher. lol good job!
Cool! Thanks for this, and that's good to hear. I have both sources and intend to fully use both.
Awesome, thanks a lot. I'll be sure to check those out
