Is math destroyer harder than DAT?
Both resources are generally considered to be harder than the actual exam so I am hoping for a 20 in the QR, but will actually be ecstatic with anything above a 17. From what the grading I've seen, you can miss quite a few questions and still make a decent score, similar to PAT.

Scores that are 20+ are competitive for most dental programs. To have a competitive Academic Average, aim for a score of 20+ with no individual section scores below 18. If you score an Academic Average of 17 or less, or have an individual section score that is 17 or less, it is a good idea to consider retaking the DAT.

RC is much harder in bootcamp compared to the real one, partly is because your questions are not being asked in order, and questions are not direct. Also, you gotta be able to recognize a lot of those implied messages in bootcamp. my actual RC on DAT, the first two sections in were in order, but not the 3rd, which i was able to get a 20.
Is DAT Bootcamp good?
DAT Bootcamp seems really helpful. I enjoy taking the test more than Crack the DAT because I think they are closer to what the test will be like. Their PAT is amazing practice and the Science questions are sometimes hard but they really test to see if you understand major concepts and sometimes if you can figure out something based on question (something you will probably have to do on Bio section if you encounter smth you haven't sen before) The nice thing is you can review all the tests and the explanations are so great. I use them as outlines in a way to learn everything in all answer choices. I think I will be ready by the time the DAT comes thanks to Ari and Bootcamp

Questions to ask dental residents?? (other than do I have a change at residency lol)

this might be a weird question, but can a specialist do general dentist stuff?
like say you become a perio specialist, would you still be able do some endo or ortho at your practice or are you limited to perio? would you still typically do fillings and crowns like a general dentist if you wanted to?

What truly makes an application stand out?
Hello! I am a reapplicant and trying to see what more I could do to make my application more ~desirable~ and some feedback on school choices. My GPA isn't the hottest (cGPA: 3.3, sGPA:3.07). The first time I took the DAT I got a 20 AA. I am retaking it in a few weeks and am shooting for 22/23.
