DAT Booster review: the value alternative to Bootcamp

DAT Booster, which began as PAT Booster, is a self-paced DAT course known for its Perceptual Ability tools, study notes and practice tests. It’s reported at $549 for 90 days (Premium) or $899 for 180 days (Premium Max), about $50 to $100 less than DAT Bootcamp’s sale prices, with a guarantee that offers a free extension or a 50% refund.

Prices, guarantee and pause terms as reported by review sites in 2026; we couldn’t confirm them on Booster’s own pricing page, so check before you buy. Checked October 12, 2026. We have not tested it hands-on, so this review has no score.

What stands out

• Perceptual Ability strength. Booster started as a PAT product, and its PAT videos and generators are its best-known feature.
• Lower price than Bootcamp at both plan lengths, as reported.
• You can pause your access for a valid reason, such as a moved test date, without losing days (reported).
• A guarantee with a refund option: if your official Academic Average doesn’t rise over a previous official DAT, you choose a free 90-day extension or a 50% refund (reported).

What to watch for

• Prices aren’t confirmed on Booster’s own page; older reviews list $399 and $699, so check at checkout.
• The guarantee is for repeat takers. It compares against a previous official score.
• No live classes.
