I've been using DATBootcamp to prepare for the PAT but my scores are not improving and i'm struggling (averaging 19-20 on practice tests). Everyone has been recommending getting PATBooster and using it instead of DATBootcamp so I'm seriously considering getting it. Has anyone had a good improvement using PATBooster? And was it worth it?
 
I would 100% recommend switching, PATBooster was the only reason I went from averaging 19 to scoring a 30 on the real DAT. It's also much closer to the difficulty of the real DAT than DATBootcamp's PAT.
 
Everyone that I've seen using PATBooster have done well, so it's probably a safe bet to use it.
 
I can attest to this as well. On the practice tests, I consistently scored a 20 and it was frustrating that I wasn't seeing improvement. I started supplementing my studies with PATBooster back in June/July and although the site still felt relatively new (I think they've since made lots of updates), I ended up scoring a 27. I think it prepared me well and was worth the extra practice.

I got a 19 on all my practice tests for PATbooster and ended up with a 19 on real thing, BUT, I can tell you that PATbooster was so much harder for me that I was able to complete the PAT on actual DAT with around 15 minutes to spare.
 
I highly recommend PAT Booster. A lot of my friends have used it and have been successful on the PAT. It is a very hard section to master, and the detailed explanations are very helpful. I would get the program to do well on the PAT section of the DAT.
 
How many Top/Front/End Compilation questions are there in PATBooster website?

Well, there are 15 per practice test times 7 tests, which makes 105 different TFE questions there. The compilations randomize those 105 questions too, which really helps when you're done with all the practice tests. I think it's definitely worth the investment so long as it stays a reasonable price! Many people have done very well using PATBooster.
 
Thanks guys! I ended up purchasing PATBooster and I loved it! But I'm finding it slightly harder than DATbootcamp. Is the real DAT like that?
 
Awesome thanks! How much time did you spend to get a 25 on the PAT? I'm capping off at 21ish on practice tests and I don't know what to do

I would practice about 2 hours of PAT per day when I was studying all day, but tried to do generators before I started that intense studying bout. I rarely broke 20 on the PATBooster tests, so I think you'll be just fine if you're hitting that.

Thanks! That makes me feel much better
 
Yeah, I couldn't agree more with everyone here. Used to get 18,19 on Bootcamp PAT practice tests -> found and used PAT Booster for my last 2.5 weeks before my actual exam and ended up scoring 21 on PAT. The only additional advice I would give is to focus especially on Keyholes and TFE portion of PAT Booster since that provides most help out of all sections. I think for angles and hole punch section, I ended up practicing in Bootcamp since it was more complicated and representative there. Good luck~
