Hi all,
I'm not gonna lie, I'm coming here for some encouragement and happy thoughts. Recently, things have just been so stressful whether its the DAT or my AADSAS application.
I'm currently scoring the following on DAT bootcamp practice subject tests:
GC 22 average
OC 20 average
Bio 19 average
PAT 17 average
RC below 15 (only took one subject test).
QR 17 (only one subject test).
My goal is to aim for a 23, however, I will be happy with a 21-22. I am starting to lose all faith. For the past three days, I just decided not to do anything because I don't know what to do anymore about my last three scores. I also need an improvement on bio. Everyday that passes by, material seeps out of my head. I'm not doing any better on the PAT, have no idea what I'm doing with RC and QR. For now, I have been focusing on secondary applications and my ps. I plan to submit my app tomorrow so hopefully that will rid some stress.
My test is June 27th. However, I am obviously not ready. I'm thinking of postponing maximum to July 10th. Its just, I'm starting to lose faith and not feel like doing this anymore. My scores are really starting to get the best of me.
Although English is my first language, I still have difficulties with reading. Angle ranking, keyhole, patterns, TFE are slashing the bjeepers out of me. I spend WAY too much time trying to figure out these questions (I'm not fast enough). When it comes to QR, prob/stats and comparison are giving me a hard time. For bio, anatomy and genetics are my downfall.
Any encouraging thoughts or advice? I'm a relatively competitive applicant with a 3.92 science and overall GPA, strong rec letters, and decent extracurriculars. I'm afraid the DAT is going to be my ultimate downfall. I'm scared that I've come this far and it'll all end up in the gutter.
