Topscore / How am I doing?

So I have 9 days before my retake and I'm curious if I should bother with topscore.

I still need to do a few more Qvault BIO exams (avg. 22 atm). I have ~3 more days of DAT CHM destroyer averaging (94% correct atm). I'm getting around 75% correct on OCHM destroyer but I have yet to finish it the first time and I don't think I'll get around to doing it a second time. I should have all the roadmaps memorized 100% predict the product + reagents tomorrow. I'm also going to start working on bootcamp exams tomorrow. I'm getting 22+ average on CPAT. Needless to say, I got plenty of stuff to work on and squeezing in TS will be a struggle. Is it worth it? Also, how am I doing if I'm aiming to get 19 or 20's on the DAT?

Also, I noticed people stated achiever is worth it for PAT. Should I buy the 3 test version just for the PAT?

PS: I took a 2 month break from studying and just started studying ~24 days ago.

I would try three full exams before you take your DAT, just to feel the environment. Get Achiever and just take it. Goodluck! After that I would review some more, then take the DAT 2009 because you gotta know the wording of the questions. or be at least familiar with it.

how many hours a day do you study?

 

[Datooth]

3-4 hours thus far. Pulled a 6 hour day today though. I don't really have a problem with sitting down and knocking out a 5 hr exam; so getting an exam just to replicate testing conditions isn't useful to me.That said, I'm not too keen on messing with achiever considering what I've seen people say about it. TS seemed more tame and a more efficient learning tool but may also be not as efficient as boot camp.

sounds like you are on par if 19 is your goal. Start doing some bootcamp questions

What do you think I should do differently for a 20?

haha. I didn't mean it like that. I just meant if those are your averages and you want to make 19s and 20s, I think you are not in bad shape. Honestly, what's helping me with TS so far is doing all the practice questions and learning from what I get wrong and reading a section that I don't understand. I started averaging 19s, but after all the practice questions, I'm averaging up to a 25 now. We will see how that translates on Monday. haha
