I am writing my DAT in two weeks and I cannot seem to do well on the reading comprehension portion of the exam. I have purchased DAT Bootcamp and Qvault RC.
First three tests on BC:
1) 19 (30/50)
2) 18 (26/50)
3) 17 (26/50)
Qvault
1) 19 (33/50)
I feel that as I am going these exams, my first passage is always my best, and then I start to decline in the second and third passages. I always run out of time and find myself with 5 minutes left and only 40/50 questions answered and still need to read more of the passage.
I find that Search and Destroy only works for a few questions in DAT Bootcamp and there is a lot of tone questions/correct statement questions that are difficult to answer without reading the entire passage thoroughly.
I am really lost in this section and don't know how to do well. I've tried reading the entire passage, S&D, and I've tried BYU4you's RC strategy and none seem to work. I enjoy reading a lot and I am aiming to hit at least a 20 on this section. The passages are not difficult but the timing is what gets me. If anyone has any suggestions for my next two weeks I'd appreciate it.
