You can only take the 3 real exams once. But you can take the practice ones (2) as much as you like. Its great for PAT and math. Other than that not the greatest, but worth $50 IMO.

From reading past posts on the subject...it's a piece of crap and should be avoided like the plague.

I disagree with that having used it myself -- Its super for PAT and everyone can use more practice in that area.
I think the sciences section is worthless, but the math and PAT sections are definitely worth the money, especially in math. The funny thing about this program is that they indicated they are error-free guarantee and the whole thing is full of errors... go figure!!
So, when I did the PAT section and I saw my score so low, I noticed that they had scored me wrong!! So if I chose A, then it said: "C is the correct answer", but when looking at the explanation, they explained why B, C, D and E were wrong...leaving A as the right answer. I found this process frustrating, so don't pay too much attention to the scores you get in this program, just use it for practice.

You can now get $5 per error you correct and email them.
I thought it was really helpful for the math section, especially if you haven't seen stuff like that in a couple of years. On the practice portion, they work the solutions and go through the rationale. Not that my score was outstanding or anything, but if I would have studied it more I know it would have helped. There were at least a couple of questions on the real DAT that were verbatum from acethedat. Also, the bio didn't suck.
PM me if you would like to use the rest of my acct. I have 2 practice tests and one whole practice section unused.

Ahem . . . Should we move this to the DAT forum?

Hey since you're up in NoCal, why don't you do us a favor and talk to Mr. Davis to get him to bring the Raiders back to LA?
I found acethedat.com's PAT and math sections to be helpful, although they did score many of my answers wrong. The rest of their material is useless - so if you want some more PAT help to shake you out of your comfort zone and have $50+ burning a hole in your pocket, then go for it.
