Test in two days. Minor questions (also, perhaps some advice?)

Hi everyone,

It's been a journey. My test is on 7/19. I feel okay about my prep, but I am obviously really worried. I had some questions about my test on Wednesday. It would be helpful if anyone can chime in.

1. Does the next section of the test immediately begin as soon as I finish with the previous section? For example, will the first keyhole problem jump right at me as soon as the timer goes out for the science section without warning or anything?

2. While going through PAT, I start with angles then make my way towards folding, cube, patterns, keyhole, and TFE. When I finish the pattern section (which is the last part of PAT), I can jump to the keyhole section using the review button right? (I won't need to click previous a hundred times to get back to the first problem?)

I think that's all I have to ask. If anyone is interested in my bootcamp practice test scores, they are attached below. I really don't know how I feel about them. In case anyone asks, I haven't finished BC test 5 because I'm honestly burned out. I haven't gotten to the 2009 or 2007 tests either. My plan for the last day before my test (tomorrow) is to just lightly read through my bio notes and probably read through the science sections of the 2009/2007 tests.

Much thanks from a (hopefully) soon to be dent student.

1, Yes. there is no break between SNS and PAT. the next section starts immediately. QR starts right after RC.

2. i didn't skip i just went 1-90 so I am no help for you there sorry 🙁

your bootcamp scores look fine you're in a good spot, assuming its your first time taking those. What about 2007 and 2009 DAT?

Thanks! That's one question down. Yup, that is my first time taking them 🙂

Like I mentioned, I'm just gonna read over/do the science problems on the 2007 and 2009 tomorrow. My schedule fell apart towards the end and had a hard time making time for them.

Probably not ideal to do 2009 the day before your exam but it would have been nice if you had done it maybe friday or today.

1. On my exam there was a pop up that let me know the previous section had ended. I had to click "ok" before I could go on to the next section. Be warned, there is an instructions page before each section and the clock IS ticking...
2. I worked through the PAT section similar to you. Yes, you can use the review button to skip around. Be aware that you have to double click on the question number you want to jump to. I single clicked and it didn't take me anywhere which started to freak me out, but double clicking worked.

Good luck, you got this!

Good luck on Wednesday! Let us know how things go. As mentioned above, no break in timer between SNS and PAT, and the review feature will let you jump around if you wish.

You can skip around using review it's very clutch. The test is easy but it will be the nerves that get you. Take some time off between now and test day. Have a few drinks chill with friends and family, see a movie etc

Sweet! This means DAT Bootcamp is extremely representative. That helps the nerves a bit. I am taking my exam next week, so I cannot really provide insight, but I do wish you the best of luck on it! Also my scores on Bootcamp almost mirror yours haha.
