Reading Comprehension

The Reading Comprehension section of the DAT consists of 50 questions covering 3 passages ranging anywhere in topics from molecular biology to pianos. It's important to spread the 60 minutes evenly between the three sections. 

Strategy #1: Kaplan's Mapping Technique

Strategy #2: Search and Destroy

- Essentially, skip the passage and look right at the questions. Scan the questions and answer choices for keywords and 'search' the passage to find the same keywords that match the question. On Bootcamp, the questions are not presented in chronological order and jump around the passage. On the real DAT, the questions are presented mostly in order. 
- Personally, I was a fast reader, so I skimmed the passage quickly before looking at the questions.
