I was always so scared of Destroyer because people always said it's "hard".
Knowing that I've been scoring low on Bootcamp, how do I approach Destroyer?
Like how many questions a day or what do I do?
Thank you soooo much for the help!
I appreciate you Nancy!
I don't think practice scores in general are able to indicate how well or poorly you may truly do on the exam, but nonetheless scoring low on them is no good sign. I agree with what has been said for sure - you need to jump into the Destroyers regardless of how hard they may seem. This book, paired with the Math Destroyer especially, will rip you a new one but make you far more prepared for the DAT.
I always suggest to do as many questions as you can handle from each section per day in a given time period. Because you may find some questions or topics more difficult than others, an hour may let you get 20 questions done or it may let you get 5. It all depends on the subject and the subtopic! So set time limits, rather than question limits, I would say. Accept the fact that you will get a good majority of the questions wrong and grow from it - make flashcards, take notes, whatever works for you! Check out people's breakdowns on SDN who have used the Destroyers (like me, rainbowsheep, WithLove, etc.) and see what they thought about it as well and how to best approach it.
One month is a lot of time if you plan on spending 10 hours a day studying. If so, I think you could manage getting everything up to par with the actual exam by then. If you're not ready for that time commitment, though, you may want to start considering a rescheduled date. It's best to take this exam once, and if you're not confident and not prepared, you will likely end up having a retake. Take care in judging how well you are doing and how well you think you will do.
TLDR: Jump into the Destroyers. Hard. And fast. Good luck!
