Reschedule DAT?

I've been doing Bootcamp practice tests and have been ranging a 18 for bio, 18/19 for gen chem, and 16-19 on orgo chem with a 16-17 QR. I havent done much of destroyer only 100 problems on each subject. I am originally supposed to take my exam on the 20th of July, but do you think extending my date to the very end of July (30/31) will give me better chances of receiving a higher score with more practice? I am hoping for a 20+ since I have a low GPA (a little below a 3.5). So I was hoping to submit early but my scores are scaring me. I will definitely submit one of my applications this week so it can get processed but will submit the rest after my DAT. Or should I just study and go over every single bootcamp problem this week and early next week and just take it? This is my second time so I want to improve too. From my 17 AA last time with not much study

Hi,

I think this is personally up to you! I would definitely concentrate very hard the next week and see how much improvement you've made over the week. If you feel like you're still scoring around the same for each section as you listed before, then push back a couple more weeks. If you wish to aim for 21+ AA, I would focus more on understanding the mistakes from BC's practice exam questions in the sciences as well as picking up the speed especially on QR. Please let me know if you need any further guidance, be glad to help.

I know this response is very late, but I'm hoping you can give me some advice here. I'm currently in a similar position to what you were in regarding bootcamp scores with my test in a few days. Did you end up just taking the test with those scores or did you push it back? And if you don't mind me asking how did you end up doing on the real thing? Thanks

I pushed it back until the end of July! I hope that gives me enough time to feel more confident on the sciences and math.

I did the same thing! I am worried about being too late in the cycle though :/

I did the same thing! I am worried about being too late in the cycle though considering I also have a lower GPA :/

Same! but I heard if u submit early august you shouldn't be too late! Just submit by first week of august regardless if you're taking dat then or later.
