How was reading comprehension for you during the test?

DAT Anxiety 😰

Im using bootcamp and reading comprehension is pretty challenging. My method is using the first 7 minutes of every passage to read the first 4-5 paragraphs, highlight, write, and blot any key ideas on a paper, answer any conceptual questions, and refer to SND when needed. I feel like the passages are weirdly spaced, and all over the place. Reading isn’t my strong suit, on my first test attempt i got a 360 i missed 7 questions after running out of time, 28 correct and 15 incorrect. I wanna know how the DAT was compared to bootcamp in your experience, and do you think my method will hold up during the actual test? What were you scoring on practice and what did you manage to get on the actual exam. Thanks!
