Hello, so I just took my topscore full length and scored 19Bio/18Chem/19OChem/17PAT/19RC/22QR so total science is 19 and 19AA. On bootcamp I only did the sciences and I scored 19Bio/19Chem/20OChem How would you compare these scores to the actual DAT?

It's difficult to estimate based on results from only 1 of the 5 tests available on Bootcamp, but the trend appears to be roughly 1-2 points higher than the 5-test-average for each section.

what about top score?

I didn't get to use top score =/, but I'm sure another SDN will be able to shed some insight on that front 🙂

I didn't use top score, but I thought Bootcamp was pretty representative of the DAT. I'd say the real GC is easier though because there are less calculations. I wouldn't use these scores to predict your score though. If you learn from your mistakes and continue to practice, you can definitely get your scores even higher! Good luck

Anyone else?

Topscore was completely different from the actual DAT. Their material is outdated... the only part that is relevant is the science section

how similar was the science section though? I'm scoring a consistent 19-20 on each science section, I just want to make sure I will be around that on the actual DAT

Study the PAT stuff more, TopScore is very easy compared to BC. I scored 75 or 77 out of 90 every time which is about a 21 or 22 or something. If your scoring a 17 on TS then you need to study the PAT way more. Try using the generators in DAT BC they help enormously and will go a long way.

Bio is hard to say since the material is so broad. I felt like the level of difficulty of GC and OC were okay too.. I was getting roughly 20s on them
