Hi guys,
I started preparing for the DAT in May 17ish and my exam is scheduled July 8th (~2weeks). I have practiced a lot and I can't seem to get the hang of the sections I listed below. I'm using DAT Bootcamp for practice exams and Crack the PAT .
PAT
I keep scoring 18s on Crack the PAT and DAT Bootcamp. I looked over multiple youtube videos and reviewed the explanations after the exams for TFE and pattern folding but those are the two sections I miss a lot of questions in. On the other sections, I get about 2-3 wrong. I seem to run out of time so I don't do the TFE and pattern folding sections till the end. Can you guy's help me with my flaws and point out how I can improve? 🙁
RC
So I was born in India and came to America with little to no english background. Learning english from scratch at the age of 10 was difficult. So my english is very crapy and I can't seem to read fast. On DAT bootcamp, my RC scores are 16's. I tried the original method (read and then answer) but didn't work. Then I tried what my friend recommended, make a list with # 1~18 (paragraph number) and write key words. I tried this and I took way to long with the first 2 passages that I didn't have time to do the last one. I also tried S&D but that ate a lot of my time and the results were the same.
So if you guys have any different strategies I will be happy to try them. Also if you have any other suggestions on how I can improve with the areas that I'm lacking at, I consider them as well!
