Intensely worried

I've been through 4 full-length practice tests now and it's really up and down, because every test in each sub-category (bio/chem/orgo/math) it has more of "this" OR more of "that" and it's really random sometimes. so there aren't even questions that i have studied. and every time i correct the FL tests, i studied the ones i would get wrong... and focus little time on the ones i would get right... (seems intuitive)
PAT and RC have been consistent throughout

and so my test scores have been fluctuating, but an overall increase... just not by much. and ive been doing the kaplan course tests no BC or any of those, i do have destroyer for all subsections... despite this i am super worried and just mentally exhausted now... any advice?

thank you

Give bootcamp and 2009 a try. What score range are you talking about?

well i only have a week left... and my scores
SNS 15-17 (from bio, chem, orgo)
PAT 19-20
RC17-18
QR 15-18

trust me i was going f***ing nuts when i saw 15-17 for bio/chem/orgo. I also tried the BC free bio test and got 23, im probably going to try the free tests for other ones as well
satisfied with PAT. been doing the angle generators from BC, some free website that has very similar angle ranking generators/cube counting/hole punching
RC and QR have been going up every test or consistent, it's just the timing that gets me

it's weird because every subsequent test... there are similar question from previous ones and of course i get those ones right. but for some questions it's just really weird or i simply forgot, and those are the ones i get wrong

i'm in the same exact boat as you.. my DAT is on Thursday and I stopped taking the Kaplan FL's because they psyched me out so much. I've seen a lot of people complaining that Kaplan is not representative of the real DAT's scoring and difficulty..

I could not get higher than 17/18 on the SNS, and 20 on PAT. On Bootcamp I have been averaging 20+ on Sciences... so we'll see how it goes lol

haha.. so if i used you as a reference then i may just be doing alright for SNS since i haven't purchased the BC tests. But as for the "difficulty" are the kaplan questions "harder" or "easier" because i find that some questions seem pretty plausible for the real DAT, and some questions are there just so u know what that certain concept it.... so i've been trying to take the FL's with a grain of salt .. what do u think? also is this your first time, cause it is for me

yeah this is my first time as well. i was scared ****less after every Kaplan test.. haha i feel like the questions are deff plausible, but the wording is really confusing/answer choices are confusing --> and maybe scoring is off as well?

this is all what i am hoping for at least... lmao won't know till thursday, but ill deff post here again

Don't pay too much attention to Kaplan's FL scores. My scores jumped up 2-3 points all across the board. Their FL are only good for getting used to the format of the exam on a computer.
