How is the difficulty of the Kaplan full length practice test in the back of the 08-09 KBB book? I'm thinking that's one of the first I will be taking because it has explanations, followed by TopScore's and the one I ordered from the ADA will be the last one since it's probably most accurate.
Also, how do the reading passages-questions combos in the KBB book compare to actual DAT? I'm testing different strategies and not going well. I just did the first two passages:
For the Kaplan PAT, I hear it's a lot easier than the actual. I got 79/90 correct on it with time to spare. Is it A LOT easier or am I in pretty good shape for PAT - I'm going to use some online sources I've found on here and going to purchase Crack DAT PAT but I think I'm leaning toward the King 5 test version because I'm semi-comfortable with the PAT, or should I just get the 10 test version for $30 bucks more?

- 9/17 right in 17:34 time using the map-out method (reading first paragraph and then writing down first line/topic of each subsequent paragraph then jumping to questions)
- 11/17 correct in 16:09 time just reading the full passage, then jumping to questions and referring back to the passage.
