I have been using KBB, Barron's, and Achiever to study/practice for the DAT. On the Achiever exams I have been scoring an average of:
Biology 16
G.chem 12😱
O.chem 14
PAT 16
RC 15
QR 20

I am shooting for at least a 19/20 on the actual test. Any tips to improve my scores in the next two weeks? How close to the real scores are these? And do you think it would be worth the $25 to move the test back a few weeks? Thanks in advance!

Pushing the test back if you're not ready or think you need reinforcement on certain subjects is worth every penny. Tonight I rescheduled my test for the third time! Have you taken the 2007 or 2009 ADA test yet? Your score on these will be more representative.

Thanks, I will definitely do one of those tomorrow and see how it goes!

How close are these to the real scores? Achiever is hard, I used it the first time I took the DAT and it was a confidence killer. Didn't do KBB and Barron's DAT so, don't know what to tell you there. People usually do a lot better on the real thing than achiever.You have 2 more weeks and possibly more, so practice practice and practice. Looks like you haven't done the other exams so try them out, see how you do. I think the 2007 ada is a little on the easy side, but the 2009 is a pretty good representative. If you end up doing well and feel confident then don't reschedule, but that is totally up to you. Do you have topscore? Do you feel confident?

Im on the 17th! I took the science part of Achiever Test 1 and scored a 14GC, 15OC, and 17Bio. I retook it a few weeks later and got a 15GC and 18OC. Just keep doing them, over and over and over again. Pay attention to concepts also!
