I've been working at my PAT but I can't seem to get higher than a 16. I've been making 15s and 16s in Bootcamp and I'm really worried. Everyone that I've talked to has said Bootcamp is harder but I should aim for an 18 in Bootcamp to feel secure. My test is about two weeks out and I'm nervous I won't be able to get everything together. My other scores have consistently gone up. I started with a 10 in CDP so I know I've made progress. Should I push my test back?

how are your other sections of the DAT?
QR: 17/16
RC:19/21
OC: 14/15/ 17
GC: 19/20
Biology 17/19/20
QR:I need to get out of the habit of wanting to solver every problem. I feel like with a little more practice I could get my QR to an 18 or 19
RC: I heard that Bootcamp is about the same or little harder so I'm not worried
OC: As I've practice more problems, my score has gone up
Biology: I need work on reading the questions
GC: I just need practice
Overall, I feel like my Academic sections will come together. I'm not too far off. Its just a matter of a few questions. I also just started taking practice tests last week
yeah seems like to me you just need more practice, but I guess you still have 2 weeks so keep working hard! 😀
For the next two weeks, do one PAT test a day. Take as much time as you need on each test.
Hammer that DAT BC PAT generator to death, too. Try videos on youtube or something if you haven't. PAT is more practice than anything, you just need that extra little bump to get you into the swing of things. Keep pushing and working hard and you'll be money.
Practice generators as much as you can. I really sucked at PAT when I first started. What I did was do 25 questions for each generator on DAT Bootcamp each day. The key is PRACTICE. More importantly, look at why you got each problem wrong. This WILL make you better! Before I was getting less than 16, now I'm getting 19's on avg. I hope by the time my DAT exam comes, I will be scoring 20 or higher on my Bootcamp test on average.
