I suck at this section and need to do a lot of practice. What source is closest to the acutal DAT RC section and was most helpful to you? I would GREATLY appreciate your feedback!!
 
I really suck at the reading comprehension too. In high school (3 years ago), my reading section for the SAT was a 400 (20% tile). I have taken Crack Dat Reading every now and then, it isn't as bad as you think. I am scoring around the 17 and 18 so far since I only have taken 2 tests. I am also a slow reader. I am hoping to score in the range of 19-20. Although Crack Dat Reading may have several tone questions and inference questions, but it'll sure make your DAT a lot easier!
 
If I combine all the reading passages in topscore tests, kaplan test, and ADA test, and practice with them, do you guys think it would be sufficient practice? or is Crack dat reading still necessary?
 
How about if I do the same for QR...combining all QR questions and practicing them? Will it be sufficient or is Math destroyer still necessary? My current financial state really cannot afford to spend any more on materials.
 
i think it would be sufficient practice for the rc, i know a lot of people dont like search & destroy but it really jumped my rc averages from 18-19 to 21-24, but that said my DAT isn't for another 2 weeks, lets see how i do then. i would really recommend practicing an rc test with s&d and see if it helps you, also READ FAST. just think about it this way.. your score depends on how many questions you answer correctly, not whether you understand the passage(which you will.. i'm just exaggerating) or could write a paper on it etcc. go into it thinking i have to answer as many questions as possible correctly. this will get you reading not only faster but smarter.

hope it helps!
