Hey everyone, I've been trying to do a few practice tests from DAT Bootcamp for GC but my scores just are always low. I ended up with 17/17/19/17 and am really looking for a 22, which is quite far. How'd you guys improve the scores? Most of my errors seem to be small ones rather than not knowing what to do. I've heard DAT destroyer would be the best resource for it.

I never really used BC besides the first full-length exam, and I do not think it's representative of the actual DAT from my experience. If you have the Destroyer, I would focus as much time as you can on that. Unfortunately, the BC test scores do not tell you much of anything at all. If you use them as an indicator of how you will score on test day, you're driving yourself in the absolute wrong direction. If you've already invested in using the program, get as much as you can from it without focussing on your scores. Really try to keen in on your weaknesses, and use the Destroyer to help you do that even more.

The DAT likes to pick up on those "small errors." Many people get the big picture who are taking this test--most of us are science majors, after all. But they get you on the fine details that are not all that complicated but can surely trip people up. I think the Destroyer hammers those points down.
