KILLED THE PAT-21AA DAT

Members don't see this ad.

Just took my DAT today, and got a 21 AA overall. My scores were not that great except PAT, which I got a 26.

Bio: used bootcamp, feralis, etc. I got a 21 on this but didn't study hard enough I suppose. The questions were quite simple and pretty good.

chem: 22 not too shabby, go through chad's vids he's good

orgo: 22: chad

PAT: 26 practice using bootcamp. no doubt go thru all of the 10 practice tests. killed it. the angles were easy and used some unconventional methods like my fingers etc etc. i had so much time left like 15 min. and the shapes were awesome. i folded all that stuff in my brain. let me know if you want more strategies or advice.

reading: 22 not bad. It was interesting to read about fios and whatev but not too bad.

qr: 17. ran out of time. just practice i guess. i was salty at the end. 🙁

Anyone interested in bootcamp for 1 month? Expires May 1st 1 month for 20 bucks.

let me know if any of you are curious about more.

Congratulations! 21AA is not bad at all, but WOW 26 PAT is amazing.
Can you elaborate more on your strategies for PAT? Also, did you use destroyer?

awesome job!

thanks guys . word of advice for math don't just ignore it at the end it actually does make a difference.

PAT: I wear glasses so for angle ranking I kinda used my finger and the lens of my glasses if that makes any sense to compare angles. It's like seeing if one angle is bigger so it will be overlapped if that makes any sense? It worked for the smaller angles

Hi , yes I am interested in the boot camp for 1 month

Awesome scores! Do you mind me asking how bootcamp keyhole compared to the actual? I'm pretty good on crack DAT but I spend WAY too much time on the same section for bootcamp.

Also did you use search and destroy method for RC? Would you recommend it?

 

[Ame535]

How about for GenChem was it calculation based or more on the conceptual side?

 

[pistoriusc]

search and destroy: Yes I did this
gen chem: i would say 50/50 on conceptual and calculations. def memorize equations. for chem there is only a limited amount of stuff they can ask you. know it and kill it same for orgo

Congrats! I'm interested in bootcamp for a month. 😳

 

[pistoriusc]

no prob

 

[lucensdentium]

no prob

So how do I go about this? haha

 

[super112]

Would you say keyhole for bootcamp PAT was easier or harder than actual?

 

[pistoriusc]

key hole was easier than bootcamp and a little harder than Qvault.
it's just practice, do all of the 10 pat exams and you will improve and kill the pat. also do the generators

congrats on your scores!! did you only rely on Chads videos for chem/ochem? i'm not sure if I should bother reading through kaplan first and taking notes...

I think Chad's videos are really great for Ochem and Gchem. Not too detailed, but not lacking at all. I finally understand genetics after watching Chad's Bio videos too... even though they're not complete. Wish there were videos on physio :/

Feralis' notes on physio are great, just memorize those.
