PAAT Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hello everyone, Could you please tell me if bootcamp is good enough for cDAT and if so how representative is the reading portion ( I know cDAT is 50min)? could you tell me if the scores you get on practice tests are predictive? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their reading comp was excessively harder than the real thing despite their practice tests giving you an extra 10 minutes. And it didn't help that you couldn't print any of their PAT questions like DATCrusher. In terms of predictiveness, I don't remember but in terms of being prepared, I took the DAT twice and scored 21AA/19PAT using only DATBootcamp the first time. I took the cDAT again and scored 26AA/24PAT the second time using DATCrusher, Chad's videos and the purple Kaplan book. Hopefully that helps. congrats on your second attempt. Thank you for your information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that helps well I reviewed the content using bootcamp, and I don't have time to go over the crusher's content, right now I am using bootcamp practice tests. Do you think it is valuable to go over crusher's practice tests only and not their notes/video? Also I am a bit stressed with respect to Canadian grading scale, I have heard the Nov18 was very badly scaled. Do you think it has been always like this or last yeas was an exception?

I didn’t like DATbootcamp, it doesn’t offer anything to help me prepare for the Canadian DAT and it covers more content than you need to know. There’s also a big difference between practicing on paper versus a computer for the PAT and RC. So I think you’re at really big disadvantage if you’re practicing using Bootcamp. Get a refund on Bootcamp and switch to DATCrusher, IQpublications, and DATDestroyer if you're aiming for a high score. I would also ignore the scale from last year, it's an anomaly. That was the first time that's ever happened from what I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
