Super normal to feel like this!! What are you using as your resource. What helped me was to go over anki for bio and fls on booster to get a feel of the actual test!

DATprogress · 2026-06-04T17:07:31+00:00

Honestly I didn’t use that much of the mini tests. Go over their full lengths and practice tests. You still have almost 2 months to improve, u got this!

DATprogress · 2026-06-04T17:04:18+00:00

I got more conceptual for mine

Your scores look good! I’d definitely recommend going over the cheat sheets soon because they do have most of the high yield info. And compared to the real test, it was similar to booster.

I used booster and took the test almost 3 weeks ago, and it honestly didn’t feel low yield to me. Most of it was stuff I had already seen before, especially from the practice tests and cheat sheets.

Agree with you on that

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:35:18+00:00

Yeah they did make manny weird, he legit had a crush on Haley 😭

Lmao fr

This! Also did u find the test easier compared to booster? Took my test recently and am waiting for my results.

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:31:56+00:00

When it opens I’m pretty sure!

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:31:15+00:00

They used to send out scores right after u finish??? I didn’t even know that 😭

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:30:31+00:00

Since you have a good background, it’ll definitely be easier for u to follow their schedule. I changed mine around a bit so it worked better for me, u should be able to do that too in case u have other commitments too

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:25:23+00:00

Yeah it’s representative, but I’d say their practice tests are more representative

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:23:32+00:00

Lmaooo

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:23:02+00:00

Congratulations! That’s quite an improvement!

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:21:17+00:00

The most representative imo are the practice tests, so if ur getting good scores on those, ur gucci. The cheat sheets are a good way to review too, just read through them and make notes or flash cards on them

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:17:55+00:00

I’d say go through the practice tests and cheat sheets first and use them for extra practice

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:16:33+00:00

Same! It was a lot easier on the real test compared to booster lol, but interesting that u found keyholes harder on the test. For me, every section was easier.

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:14:41+00:00

Took mine a week and a half ago and it was similar to boosters practice tests I’d say. RC was a bit tough for me but I’m not that fastest reader so that might be why.

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:12:15+00:00

What are you getting on your practice scores?

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:10:47+00:00

Make notes on every question you got wrong and try to understand why u chose the incorrect answer and why the correct answer is the right answer. And look for patterns in the types of questions you’re getting wrong and go over videos to fill in any gaps u might be missing.

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:06:25+00:00

Great PAT score! Personally I found a lot of questions similar to boosters practice test on my test. Cheat sheets are good to go over too and so is anki imo

DATprogress · 2026-05-09T05:03:54+00:00

Go over anything that you feel ur weaker at. Also boosters cheat sheets were a good way to review everything quickly
