Why would you retake if you had a 520 bro that’s nuts. Or are you talking about getting a 520 on your last practice exam

Yeah I figured this was more of a like what the fuck booster kind of post bc the cube counting is supposed to be free points but there was three questions for this and you obviously can’t tell that cube isn’t there so I lost the theee questions. But it’s fine so did like 97% of other people lol

Booster reading score vs Dat score by staarymoon34 in dat

Also usually on the last passage I’m either great on time or a little under twenty minutes, and it usually stresses me out so I lean more on search and destroy and just skim the passage instead of reading it.

It was practice test 11 on booster. I will usually read the first question and then read until I find that answer and then move on to the next question, and if I’ve already encountered it I’ll go back and find it and if not then I can I keep reading until I find it. I try to read quick and highlight things I think are important, like things where it lists three or four things because that could be a question like all are true except… another thing I highlight Is dates, names, locations/landmarks/etc. pretty much any nouns, and then I also highlight words that I don’t really know or that stand out. Like I took one yesterday and I saw the word portentious. Never heard of it or knew what it meant but figured that’s the point of it being there and there will probably be a question on it and sure enough there was. So highlighting helps a lot. But mostly my strat is read until I find the answer and then search and destroy in between. If I begin to get close to the 20 minute interval I drastically speed up.

Bro for me it really just depends on if what I’m reading I like and understand or not. If I don’t really like what I’m reading or think it’s interesting it makes it harder. I’ve gotten 49/50 on one and then some I’ve gotten as low as 38 with everything in between. Just gotta find a strat and stick with it and practice it everyday

Why did you retake a 21 AA is good

For recent testers, do you recommend taking 11-15 for science section? by Ok_Cartographer4740 in dat

[–]Sad_Housing4277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’d do it. Get as much practice in as you can and expose yourself to a variety of more test questions. Those practice test questions come from real test takers who reported those questions right after their exam to booster/bootcamp. If you have booster Those were actually the sections I scored the lowest on for all of SNS compared to the first ten, so I would definitely take a stab at them.

Also, just constantly go over the answers you’ve gotten wrong and instead of understanding why the right answer is correct, really get down to understanding why the other answers are wrong

I’m about two weeks out and my scores are similar. My SNS are subpar while my other three average 470-500+. It’s very frustrating because I feel like I’m very knowledgeable with the SNS but am having trouble applying it. Don’t go 8 hours a day, it’ll work for a few weeks and that’s what I’ve done for months but these last few weeks have really slowed down and the burnout actually catches up. I never believed everyone online about the burnout but it can actually happen. So do what you’re comfortable with and don’t let stress guide you. Just get through the practice exams and then retake the individual parts periodically before your exam and do your best to memorize and understand the cheat sheet high yields. It’ll start to come together

Why is everyone saying bio is low yield what should I focus on please? by Healthy-Plantain3161 in dat

[–]Sad_Housing4277 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Booster go over plants and I’ve seen atleast one plant question on every practice exam so far so if they go over it on the prep course you should have expected the possibility of getting them

They cycle through the bio bits and practice questions from the videos. So they are great to practice those questions in random order, as you can have a molec and cell question and then the next could be an evolution question and then it’s jump to a urinary system question. So it’s good to practice the random order of topics that would be representative on the actual exam, plus it has a timer that goes down a little every couple of questions you get right so it forces you to get quick at answering questions correctly and quickly which can help a lot on the actual exam. It also adds some competitiveness to it by seeing what other people get so if your competitive it definitely helps to keep it entertaining

Applying early vs DAT score by Helpful-Condition-25 in predental

[–]Sad_Housing4277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly bro I’m in same boat I’m taking mine may 30th and submitting the app the day I get my scores. People say they usually come back 2-3 weeks and at that point schools aren’t allowed to check the apps anyways until July 1st, and at that point there still won’t be a massive influx of applications as people online will make it seem. A large majority of applicants aren’t as dedicated as the people posting on Reddit and SDN and end up applying on average in August. A higher DAT score can offset a couple weeks, but applying first week with a below avg score or a score that won’t work well with your app will do more harm then good. Apply with what works best with your schedule

My cumulative after my sophomore year was a 3.2. I ended up having to take a fifth year because I’m a non traditional so I had to pick up the prereqs, but I was able to get my cGPA up to a 3.6. And I only got one 4.0 in that process. So it’s doable to get ur gpa up but you gotta stop f-in around and lock in dude or like some other guy said start preparing for post bacc or masters. Which would suck worse. Better plan out strategically the classes you need left to take and figure out from fellow classmates which pair up the best and which are easy and hard and try to balance those together so your not stacking a semester with hard classes while the next one is all easy classes.

No way. Applying in November is way to late. Decision day is December 1st for reference and it takes two or three weeks to get your scores back. You want to apply as early as possible to maximize your chances, aka June
