Default What were your Topscore scores??


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
Can everyone just post their Topscore scores and if it compared to their actual DAT? Getting tired of searching different threads for this answer

I think this is what I got...
Bio 17/18/17
Chem 18/19/19
O Chem 19/20/21
RC 23/22/22
QR 19/20/20
PAT 25/../.. (Thought it was too easy, so I used CDP instead.)

Bio 22
Chem 24
O Chem 27
RC 22
QR 23
PAT 27

I thought DATqvault was better than Topscore!

Its difficult to tell, I think everyone is different. I found that Topscore was too detailed on the science and way too easy on the PAT. However, I felt that the RC and QR sections were very similar to the real DAT. I thought that DATqvault was similar to the real DAT on the sciences but the QR and RC were too easy. Also with CDP, some people get 25s and then get an 18 on the real DAT whereas I got 22s and got a 27. I feel that anything that gives you a standard score like Topscore and Qvault is not that great for knowing what you will get on the real DAT, but they are reasonably helpful for knowing if you are ready to take DAT and whether or not you are improving in your studies.

There are so many posts about people doing better or worse on the real DAT as compared to their practice tests...I'll keep what you said in mind. The importance of practice tests is seeing improvement!
