For those of you who have RECENTLY taken the DAT, how would you say the achiever compares? I've been getting 18-20 in the science sections and wondering if I should expect to do this well on the real thing.

been getting 18-20 on the 1st try? should be fine if you ask me.

achiever is harder than the real deal. there will be a handful of questions that are on par with the achiever....but overall expect the DAT to be a mix of fairly straightforward Q's, some that require some thinking, and others that are completely off the wall (especially for bio).

good luck,
