So my exam is on Friday and today I want to take my first full practice exam.. Do you guys recommend top score or bootcamp... I have both. Also, I know this may sound stupid but does bootcamp calculate your AA or do you have to do it when you're done?

Bootcamp calculates each section's score, but splits the Bio/GC/OC into different sections, meaning you can't take them all at once. It does not calculate your AA.

But yes, Bootcamp offers all tests now including RC and QRT. Just remember your AA doesn't include your PAT score, it's only the average of the other 5 tests.

So I took my first full practice exam today (not really full)
So on Qvault I get around 19-20 for bio and my best at bootcamp was a 22 but today I got an 18 because of stupid mistakes. GC I got an 18 Orgo 20 ( my highest was a 22) PAT:18 and I was on my second passage for RC and my bf came over so I stopped that :/ so I just clicked anything for the last 15 questions and got a 17, would of been higher if I read the 3rd (assuming)
Oh and on Qvault I got a 20 for QR. Gpa is 3.86 and 3.75 science, do you guys think I should go ahead and take it? Or reschedule? How do my scores look? Ill honestly be happy with a 21-22

You're scoring well and I think you're pretty much ready for the DAT (if not already). Try to take a full exam from start to finish and concentrate so you don't make any easy mistakes to get an accurate picture. If you're really close to your test date, I highly recommend taking the 2007 or 2009 DAT and using those scores to determine if you're ready or not. Your AA on those will be very close to your AA on the real DAT.

Haha it's actually this Friday, a lot of people recommended bootcamp so I didn't even try the ADA exams... But Qvault and bootcamp were amazing and my scores ranged, hopefully ill finish strong. Thank you so much!
