Hello,
English is my second language as well, and there's nothing you can really do other than practicing!
I have been improving my score by this method: http://datbootcamp.com/reading-comprehension-strategy/byu4you-balanced-rc-strategy/
You could also skim the questions beforehand and write down keywords on your whiteboard before attacking the passage.

I have my test in 7 days too and I am really nervous too!
We'll push through this!

Like others have mentioned, it's about figuring out a strategy that works for you. Don't be worried about having English as a second language, you can get a very solid score on RC without needing to comprehend most of the passage. I've known many ESL students that have had success using the search and destroy approach. Best of luck!

if you don't feel ready do not take the DAT. push your exam back. work on your reading! watch pop culture shows like family feud etc. don't take the DAT "just to get it over with" unless you feel you've studied all you can. keep at it and watch those scores go up!

Although its risky, I would recommend that you use S&D for RC and then reread the sentences before/after to check. For QR, there's not much you can do besides practice. You either know how to do it or you don't.

My favorite RC technique is the BYU4you, it's very dependable and my score improved immediately by 2-3 points once I started using it. (Before that I'd just read the article completely and then attempt to answer questions)
Here's a link if you want to check it out: http://datbootcamp.com/reading-comprehension-strategy/byu4you-balanced-rc-strategy/

EDIT: The first 2 bootcamp RC tests are much harder than the last 3. Just a heads up.


Math... you really just gotta practice. Wish I had a really good technique here 🙁
