I am having a tough time with the Reading Comprehension Section, and want to go ahead and purchase the Qvault RC tests. However, I wanted to ask if it's at all representative and/or helpful, before I make the purchase?

Thanks!

I'm also kinda struggling with RC. I first used Bootcamp and was able to develop a strategy that got me 20's on the last 2 tests. I then got CDR tests and for the life of me couldn't score higher than a 17. I hear Qvault is very S&D friendly though. From what I've read on here the real DAT RC varies in style. You can get passages that are very straight forward with answers that could be fished right out of the text but then you can also get passages that are more inference/tone based. Sooo whether or not a RC practice test is representative really depends on which version you get on the actual DAT. I personally regret getting CDR as additional practice and probably should have gotten Qvault instead.

Qvault is pretty similar for RC, very doable with search and destroy and the questions are usually not too ambiguous. Crack's passages ran too long and had way too many tone/inference question.

There are many versions of the test so I can't guarantee that it will be as easy of a version for you, but what I had was really straightforward. Like easier than any practice passage I ever had - not because the passages were interesting (they were really boring) but because there aren't any of those situations where you feel like more than one answer choice could potentially be right.

EDIT: Except for the one question that required prior geography knowledge to be able to answer. That pissed me off a bit.

What method did you end up using on the test?
