By the end of the summer this year my gpa in my graduate will be pulled up to a 3.42. My DAT is Thursday May 11th at 8 am. I am superprepared for the DAT I used DAT Destroyer for Bio and Bootcamp. Which one of these is the best the DAT Destroyer or Bootcamp for Bio? I kept doing the same darn thing over and over for bio for all the 600 questions in one day. I do this everyday to jock all these info in my brain as memory for test day. If you get only 3 mistakes in the Bio section of the real DAT does that mean its a 27 scaled score?
 
3 mistakes could drop your score to 24. It all depends on the test version and how others do. I think a 27 means you can only get 1 wrong.
 
At this point just read the solutions for bootcamp and destroyer and make sure you understand everything. I personally only used destroyer in my last 2 weeks of studying, where i covered the sections once a day to the point where i memorized and etched the questions in my mind. Imho although both resources are great, I found that the destroyer helped me much more in terms of the concepts that appeared in my bio and chem sections. At the last two days I only did the destroyer questions that I had difficulties with.

As likkriue stated, it all depends on how BAD the others do since the dat scores do not reflect how many question you got right, but rather it states how many questions you got right RELATIVE to others. So in one session I can get a 25 bio by getting 6 wrong, in another session I can get the same score by getting (i.e.) 3 wrong
 
I took the last 4 days off before my exam and I felt like I was no where near ready lol. You sound confident. May 11th is your day. Go get it!!
 
EAT WELL! Go to the store and start smashing fruits and a little bit of fattier foods (not in excess). You want to have high energy and sugar levels going in. Make sure to hydrate a lot, sleep well, and do some light exercise.

Do light reviews and PAT practice. You will walk into the exam FRESH and a lot more relaxed and snappy.
