Hello,
I reallllllly am struggling with the Reading Comprehension section of the DAT. Took the test once before and scored less than 14 on the RC section, so please don't tell me the DAT RC is easier-mine was a lot harder. English isn't my first language and I am a slow reader. I was scoring 16-17 last time on BC tests. Now my test is scheduled for late May- I got crack the dat, DAT BC and will get topscore and qvault soon. I have been getting 29-32 out of 50 questions correct and scoring between 16-20 now. But I still feel very unprepared and really worried, last time i scored 21-22 on everything beside RC and QR.
Please please let me know if you were in a similar situation, or if you scored well how did you prepare for it. I am really slow and do not comprehend fast enough. I am open to all methods/recommendations/suggestions.... I just do not want section to be the reason I dont make it to dental school. I have a 3.8 gpa and have tons of shadowing and missions trips, and speak 3 languages..... but unfortunately schools told me I need at least 17+ on that section to get an interview...
Thank you very much everyone.
