Feeling discouraged on qVault :(

I just completed the first and second tests on qvault Bio. I got a 19/18. This is after going through Destroyer and reading Cliffs, plus being a Biology major. I made a few dumb mistakes but I've read that qvault is comparable to the real thing and is considered easier than Achiever/Destroyer. I feel like I did better on Destroyer than on qvault.

Is this normal? I'm hoping I can improve my scores to at least a 20.. just don't know what to do. I felt like knowing Destroyers Bio inside and out would have me set, but apparently not =|

I take my DAT in 5 weeks.. what other materials should I be using to study for biology? I have Cliffs/KBB/Destroyer/qVault/Campbells and my freshman bio book, and I still feel like this isn't enough! Any advice?

Thanks guys

If it makes you feel better, I got 18/19 across the entire qvault Bio. I got a 21 on the actual test.

Oh thank god! This does make me feel better. I see all the SDN geniuses on here making like 24-25's on all the tests and it was really discouraging. I really need to stop comparing my scores to people on here!

^exact same thing for me as well!

So I'd say just keep practicing and learning from the mistakes you're making. You should be good to go on the real thing.

Awesome, thanks guys.


And also, do you recommend buying qVaults Gen chem/ochem & other sections? Are they as good as the Biology? Wondering if I need more practice problems to do..

Same here, I averaged 18.7 for all 10 bio tests on it and got a 22 on the real thing.

Don't worry too much about getting it wrong, just make sure you understand why you got it wrong.

I took the free qVault GC test and felt that it was too simple. I searched on SDN and a couple threads noted that there were errors in the tests as well. IMO, Chad's and Destroyer are what you should focus on for GC/OC. Don't worry too much about the qVault Bio scores as well, just treat it as another study tool.
