So my exam is 3 weeks away and I am ranging at about a 19 for gen chem, 17/18 on orgo chem, and all 18's on bio (on BC). I have only done half of destroyer on all topics except QR. Getting 17 on QR exams on BC. Should I see how this week plays out after practicing some more? I have about half of bio to read and review as well. Although the sections I am worried about for that are taxonomy, Developmental biology, and evolution/ ecology which I haven't gotten to review yet. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Yes I would give it a little more time studying before you consider a reschedule, your scores are pretty decent. I was consistently scoring 17 on Bootcamp QR tests and managed to get a 21 on the real DAT. Don't give up hope, keep studying and working hard. Make sure to bookmark all the questions you miss or that cover an important topic and review them frequently. By the time I took the DAT I had like 100+ bookmarked questions in each section. Repetition and time in the material are the two most important aspects of learning in my opinion. Best of luck.

You have 3 weeks. Some people only study for 3 weeks so of course you can drastically improve.

okay! And do you suggest using destroyer with the amount of time I have or just focus on bootcamp?

Did you already take the DAT? Do you recommend destroyer or stick to bootcamp?

I'm taking it soon. I'm doing both, and you have plenty of time to do both. For BC I recommend allocating a lot of time aside because taking the science exam doesn't take as much time as reviewing all the explanations, especially for biology there's tons of information. A lot of people skip this step which I find dumb because the DAT isn't going to ask you the same BC questions, rather the concepts BC is illustrating be it in the questions or in the explanations. If you complete 1 science exam a day for each section you should be done within 10days. You can also finish destroyer within a week too.

Because you made the statement "worried" it means your gut instinct is telling you that you need more work in the Bio section. Make sure you do all the work in the Destroyer, ALL of it, and also join our study group where you can access our Bio Review.

Wishing you the best.
