just took the 2007 sample dat and got these results. My test is in 2 weeks and I wanted to know how comparable is this practice exam to the real thing.

I felt that the 2007 sample was fairly accurate on the Total Science, Reading, and Math sections. However, I felt that the PAT was significantly more difficult on the real DAT. Apertures, top-front-side view, and hole punching were much harder than the 2007. Not to say I didn't do well and it wasn't possible to do well but the 2007 practice just didn't simulate the experience. I would suggest reviewing DAT Achiever for the PAT because they better prepare you for it.

Make sure your talking about 2007 and not 09.

I was referring to 2007. I never took the 09 test. I feel like it was accurate for the DAT I took.

For 2007, I had like a 23-24 AA and I got a 20 AA on the real thing.
On the 2009 one, I had about a 20 AA and again, I got a 20 AA on the real thing.

For most individuals the 2007 sample test it much easier than the real DAT. Most score 2-4 points lower on real exam. The sciences are very easy on the 2007 exam.

I arguably did better on the real DAT if it makes you feel better. I got a 21 bio, 20 genc, and 30 orgo on the 2007, but a 24 bio, 22 genc, 21 orgo on the real DAT. Took the 2007 a week before, I wouldn't panick or anything. Just keep studying

Ive heard alot that the 2007 is alot easier but like dental555 said dont panic. You'll do fine. Just understand the ones you missed.
