Hey guys.

It would be nice for the rookies, if we share our TopScore scores and the actual DAT scores to show if there is a correlation.

For Example:

My sciences (TS) were 16's - TopScore (20's - Actual)
My PAT - 20 - TopScore (20 - Actual)
RC/QR - 17/18 - Topscore (19/20 - Actual)

Anyhow, if you think your scores didnt improve when you took the Actual DAT - please post them too.

Thanks

topscore is pretty close to the real thing

The sciences are a lot similar to topscore. Math is just like topscore. A few of my QR questions on the actuall test were the same as topscore. Don't trust what u get on Topscore's PAT and English though.

Hey there,

I've only heard of Kaplan for studying for the DAT?? What is Topscore and how do I find information about them? Are there other resourced out there for DAT prep? Thanks!!

Topscore is a CD that has three full practice exams on it, check out this website: www.scholarware.com

Yeah that PAT is really hard on the real test. I just deduced the angles on TS, but all the angles look the same size on the DAT. I didnt believe it until I was taking it.

my own experience w/ topscore:

Sciences- was getting around 15 on topscore, ended up with TS 19. I thought some of the topscore questions were too nitpicky, for example I remember being asked specific questions on classification that just weren't representative of the real thing, IMO

Reading - about the same as the real thing. I got around 20 on topscore tests, and 23 on the real thing

PAT - way easier than the real thing. I suggest looking elsewhere for more realistic practice

Quant - harder than the real thing. If you can handle topscore QR, you're ready for the real thing

Topscore: Bio 19, GChem 14, Orgo 13, Reading 25, Math 16, PAT 17.
Actual: Bio 19, Gchem 23, Orgo 20, Reading 25, Math 17, PAT 17.
Just took it today ;)
