[2024] DAT Bootcamp Content Updates

Latest updates

We’re constantly updating our materials, creating new questions, and removing low-yield questions to keep DAT Bootcamp as the most representative source for DAT prep. Here are some of the most exciting recent changes we've made at DAT Bootcamp:

• [NEW] Performance page that tracks all your practice test scores and estimates your real DAT score based on students who performed similarly to you.
• [NEW] Bootcamp AI is your personal tutor for every practice question. If you're not sure about something after reviewing an explanation, ask Bootcamp AI and get your questions answered instantly.
• [NEW] We've embedded recall questions after every bio, GC, and OC video in the course players! This will help you test your comprehension as you watch the videos and switch on active learning.
• [NEW] 920 new TFE questions added to the qbanks. No longer will you have to only practice with the basic shapes the generator is able to create.
• [NEW] We've completed major upgrades to the angle ranking and hole punching generators. You can now zone in on your weakest type of angles for AR, practice two hole punch questions in HP, and we've greatly improved the explanations the generators are able to create.
• [NEW] 60+ new Dr. Mike video explanations added to new GC & OC test questions
• [NEW] We've overhauled all the biology test text explanations to make them more concise, and save you time while studying
• [NEW] We've added 65+ new bio, GC, and OC questions based on what is showing up on current DATs
