How to best utilize DAT bootcamp?

Ok, I bought DAT bootcamp but don't know how to get the most out of it.

I haven't taken some of the subjects tested on the DAT in a while and I think if I just start taking the practice test I probably won't do so hot. So do I just take them again and again, cycling through them? I don't have many of the textbooks assigned from my classes to review anymore.

So, should I just begin taking practice test? Should I review using internet resources for a while then begin using boot camp? Something else entirely?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You could take one test in each subject just to see where you're at. Then use the recommended study material to help boost your scores up (Feralis notes, DAT destroyer, BC PAT generators, etc). I'd try to take most of the BC tests after you've studied a lot and when your test date is approaching since BC questions are similar to ones on the real DAT.

Bootcamp should be the last thing you do. Review/learn everything first, do destroyer, then bootcamp practice tests to mimic the real thing.

I agree with @iliketeeth13 . Definitely save it for last. I'm not saying save it for the night before, but after you have studied everything, maybe a week or two before. Also, bootcamp is by far more difficult than the real deal, so don't get discouraged about any low scores you get from it. Best of luck!

Quick question, for bootcamp if you're taking full lengths and then over time and go back to section tests to see your improvement what do you think this means in terms of what scores to expect on the actual dat:

Full length
bio 15
Gchem 15
O Chem 19

Section test
Bio 22
Gchem 20
O Chem 23
