Omg.. I just took Topscore practice test 1 and the result..

Bio 20
OC 18
GC 19
PAT 22
QR 18
RC 13....

TS 19
AA 17................ !
My DAT is Sep. 9th and I only have less than 3 weeks and Im still struggle with RC, which killed me last time..

I used Search and Destory last time DAT and it didnt really work for me (I got 16.. still better than 13 haha 😛).. so this time I tried to use Viviciper's strategy which I think great idea but I failed I had only 2mins to go over last passage..no extra time for me to go over all the questions first (took about 5mins) and read (15mins).. should I just stick with SnD?or any other idea?

I have been reading science article thr several magazine 2or 1 a day for 2month and practice RC section with kaplan subject test. Without time, I got 19-20 (it took about 80mins..) but I have not practice with time yet....maybe..this is why..

my question is.. should I postpon my DAT and working on RC n rest of section?
I'm soo depressed right now.. just aim 18+ RC, please share me any advice..

search and destroy works best for Topscore. U really wanna tailor your strategy depending upon the rigor of the passage.

Have you tried quickly reading the passage first and then answering the questions?

Also, an SAT prep book may help you with timing.

I took my first Topscore today, and got a 22. I use the search and destroy method and just skim the passage. Also, if you read the first sentence of each paragraph quickly you can get an idea of what each paragraph is about-thus helping you find answers more quickly.

yea, right? I just purchase CDR and found some of Kaplan practice tests.
But should I reschedule tho? I only have a day for me to reschedule (for free) and I have not decided yet..

Wow 22 on AA? or RC? that's not even closed to what im aim for my RC.
I want just 18+ for the RC section and hopefully other section can cover up AA little

oh noo for RC! (That is my strong point). On the other hand, I need some tips for OC, and Bio I'm worried about these.

As for postponing, I would give it a few more practices and see if you improve, then make your decision.
