Hi everyone,

So my test is in exactly one week...I am starting to freak the freak out. I am in the mode of practice test, and reviewing. However, I am getting quite discouraged because my scores have not been okay. There always seem to something I do not know or have no idea how to do. I have been studying for since the June and I am starting to question my learning. I have been through destroyer 1.5 times, and have literally watched Chad's videos about 2-3 times. I have taken Bootcamp test and the free biology Qvault test. So far for bootcamp, I am getting 19bio/19Gc/18 Orgo/18RC/18 QR consistently for the first 3 test and I got a 20 for qvault. I seriously hope that I can bring these scores up when I take the real test. I am aiming for a 20. Has anyone had experience with bootcamp and if their scores increased? Do you guys think I am ready? I am drained from studying, and am really scared to perform horribly on the test after sacrificing this summer. 🙁

Hi, hopefully you find this encouraging. I took the DAT last Monday and scored a 21 in bio, 22 in gc, and 21 in ochem. Prior to this exam I never scored above a 20. My bio bootcamp average was 17, my gc average was 18, and my ochem average was 18. Best of luck to you and try not to freak out-gain confidence in all the things you know!!!

I second this...I never scored a 22 in Bio,,,the highest I got was a 19...You'll see how many question are verbatim from destroyer and bootcamp,,,,I was so happy when I was doing my Bio section cause I was like,,,**** I know all this lol. However, Ochem was a bit harder to me cause I haven't taken Ochem 2,,,and just for the records last night I just found out that I forgot all the NMR staff and all Orgo 2 staff for being studying other things..so I barely slept last night ...It was tough to learn something that I was not familiar with. The test, honestly, is more like Bootcamp,,,they have the right balance!!! Don't freak out...you'll be fine!!

My scores are varying alot, like I would get a 23 on a Bio test and 17 on the other one 😵 i just really hope I get really lucky on the DAT and be tested on things I mostly know 🙂 oh and when are you planning on to take full practice tests?

Also, I forgot....Try this technique and let me know how it works for you...For RC just read the title of the 3 passages...choose the 2 easier ones and spend 25mins in each of them,,,,,you will master them after this time,,,Try to have all the questions right.....After u are sure u have almost all the questions right attack the 3rd one,,,,,do search destroy and answer those easy questions first for the tone questions I just mark whatever and I got 18 in the real thing. For the records I English is my 2nd language so I'm sure you'll do way better than me...I was scoring 15 in ALL my practice exams!!!

Thanks you guys! feeling more hopeful now! But still trying to shake off this freaking out feeling.

Illuminati33: That is awesome how much your score increased! I really hope I can do that as well. Luck needs to be on my side next week! thanks for your reply and best of luck to you with the admission process and get into the school of your dreams!

Yandillo: Nice bio score! Yeah I take soooo long on a passage. Cause I am trying to make sure the answer is right. When I read a question, lets just say I have attachment issues. haha since I already took the time to read it and even attempt find it, I cannot simply move on. But seriously sometimes I spend like 3 minutes on 1 questions, then I am only on question 10 and I have 5 minutes left on 20 minutes per passage time limit. Then I just panic for a bit. But I will try your method out! This section terrifies me though, since it can be hit or miss. Ahhh. As I mentioned to illuminati, hope everything works out in your favor! 🙂

its so hard NOT to freak out!! I literally cant sleep cause i'm thinking about stuff I learned, and how I forgot something and start thinking about the WORST! Like taking the survey, and then my score pop up and I see tons of 15 and 16 scores. ahhh. I am planning to start full length practice test tomorrow (haha I think). I should have already started but I have been pushing it off since practice test make me feel like crap sometimes. So I'm all like "let me review some more...just one more day of review" and here I am, one week away... I hope luck is on our side...
