So right now I'm doing my second run through destroyer (QR, BIO, Orgo, and GC). I'm seeing improvements and missing very few problems. I bought DAT qvault, just the orgo section, but I was wondering if should also get bootcamp? Also, could someone describe what exactly bootcamp is? Is it just practice tests with solutions?

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'm taking my exam on the 30th so I have time and I started studying in May so I'm kind of comfortable/ready for the exam.
 
Bootcamp is great! I don't like their QR section though, I think it is way too difficult for the scope of the exam. I relied on Math Destroyer and the QR of DAT Destroyer for that portion but the rest of the sections are good samples of what to expect for the big day.
 
Thanks for the feedback!
How long does it take to go over everything? Can it be done completed in about 2 weeks?
 
Based on where you are at, 2nd run on destroyer etc., you can do tests 1through 5 of all categories in one week.

On a real note, yes. Make sure you use them as full length exams and review every single question. If you signed up for the test at 8AM, take the exams at 8. Simulate testing conditions.
 
YESSSSSSS! YESSSS! AND YESSSS! it was very representative for pretty much EVERY SUBJECT! good practice for timing too! I got it at the last minute and I honestly think it helped
 
Please don't tell me that the QR for bootcamp is like the real thing...I just missed half the problems on one of the test and didn't finish...yet I still scored a 19? Not sure how that happens.
 
The QR section on Bootcamp is actually designed to be harder. Keep at it, and you'll be golden for the DAT. I was consistently scoring 20s on the practice, and received a 20 on my latest attempt on the DAT.

Bootcamp is a solid piece of study material. Work in some Khan Academy videos and Chad's and you will be doing really well on the DAT.
 
I don't understand the logic behind making the QR section of BC extremely challenging. If that was the case, then why aren't the other sections much harder than the scope of the actual DAT?

Don't get me wrong now, I love Bootcamp for every subject but math. Bootcamp has great explanations for all of their tests and I feel like I am getting my money's worth the most with BC compared to my other practice materials.

What are your other practice materials?
 
Yes!!! Single-handedly the best resource I used for studying for the DATs! Combined with your other resources, you're well on your way to success! 🙂) totally worth it
 
YES, OP, GET THE BOOTCAMP....... I don't like this thread...... the answer is so obvious.
