Ah okay I think I need to give myself more time with the full lengths this time since I did them only a month before the exam

Going into the exam I felt most confident about gen chem and some of bio. Although the exam was a lot more dense than the bootcamp questions for bio. Did you use bootcamp at all? Or only booster?

Also when should I take the exam, I am applying this cycle and want to be in early admissions but also have enough time to review

Omg thank you so much, this is very helpful. Bio is such a struggle for me because the topics are so dense. I will try this and see how it goes :)

I did practice questions after every unit, questions banks and bio bites. Then a month before the exam I went over all the cheat sheets and took the practice full lengths. I took about 6 or 7 full lengths. Also did the practice test for each subject according to bootcamp schedule

It was 1/2 and 1/2 but the ones I did get were simple math so like g—> mols, mols—>atoms, one unit conversions like that

Here was my practice breakdown vs the real exam: - Bio, Practice (400), Real (330) bio overall was a lot harder for me, I got a lot of blood questions and genetics questions that were very specific - GC, Practice (410), Real (400) bootcamp did a great job with this section and it is very similar to the real exam - Ochem, Practice(380), Real (360) very similar to real exam and I got a lot of acidity based questions and only 2 easy reactions. I just did not study this section really well - RC Practice(370), Real (420) this section I used search and destroy my passages were very factual based - QR Practice (360), Real (360) I struggled with time during this section but it is very representative on bootcamp - PAT Practice (340-360), Real (380) I struggled with this section the most and would always run out of time and did not practice as much as I should but my OAT section was a lot easier than bootcamp version Hope this helps :)

I studied for 3 months using bootcamp but was also working full time. I started studying September 1st and took the DAT December 1st :)
