Hi all,

I was practicing on DATBootcamp Reading comprehension before my membership expired and I kept hovering around 18. But when I did the free ADA practice tests just now, I somehow I scored 47/50. That leads me to ask how accurate is DATBootcamp's RC? Thankyou

From my experience, DAT Bootcamp's RC was way harder than the actual DAT. I was averaging 17-18 on Bootcamp and got a 22 on actual DAT.

I agree that bootcamp is harder but the ADA practice DAT are notriously known to be WAAAAY easier than the actual DAT.

What’s a good resource to use for reading? Would like to know some input on strategies too!

I tell many other people but simply reading more often, any topic is the best way (not sdn posts though kekeke)! Read research articles and novels.

Strategy wise I wouldn't recommend the search and destroy as the questions are becoming more total passage based and not just looking for a certain section or words.

The goal is to increase reading speed and comprehension levels and this can be easily accomplished by old fashion reading. If you dedicate just 30 minutes a day to reading while preparing for the DAT that's a lot of reading accomplished over the course of your preparation. Make it a habit to read just before bed, not on a computer or phone but an actual book or magazine, it will also help fall asleep. Old school still works for certain things. From experience trying to predict a score for reading using a timed test is more or less a crap shoot, too many variables are possible..

Just my 2 cents
