I found these question be wrong based on the answer key can anyone varify for me.


What is the function of the male prostate gland?
A. Adds alkaline base to the semen

B. Propels sperm through urethra

C. Adds fructose to the semen for energy

D. Area of maturation of sperm

E. Lubricates the urethra

For this question there seems to be no right answer.


Which line distinguishes a liquid from a gas?
A. D-A

B. B-A

C. B-A-D

D. B-A-C

E. A-C

they show phase diagram with tripple point being A and criticle point as C. they say answer is (C) which follows line from sublimation and deposition line up to freezing/melting line.

If a 22 g chunk of dry ice (CO2) is placed in an empty 1 liter bottle and tightly corked, what would be the final pressure in the bottle after all the dry ice has evaporated and the temperature has reached 27oC?
A. 13.3

B. 14.4

C. 15.5

D. 12.4

E. 18.9

I got (D) for this one, but they say it is (A).

Which bond would be least polar?
A. H-F

B. B-F

C. Cl-F

D. Ca-F

E. Al-F

For this i put (C) but they think it is (D).

Some O chem questions but i cant paste pictures so i will try to explain.

One question had a primary alcohol and you react with it KMnO4. This should result in a carboxylic acid on the carbon that had the -OH group but some how their answer says you lose a carbon and form a shortened carboxylic acid.

One question had 5 carboxylic acids of the same length and structure except for the placement of a Cl. They were asking for the most acidic. The most acidic should be the carboxylic acid that has the Cl group closest to the carbonyl and -OH groups. But they go for the middle carbon.

There are some more but hard to explain so I will leave those out. I would not recommend Ace the DAT to anyone. I haven’t seen this many mistakes in a test before. 😡 😡 DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE I DID!!! 😡 😡

"Ace the Dat" is a junk ! Their solutions are wrong. If you want to do bad on the DAT test buy & study their solutions.

The prostate gland does contribute alkaline base to the semen; also it secretes substances that provide energy for the sperm; however, i am not sure if fructose is one of them. I do know that the seminal vesicle provides fructose. The epididymus is the area of maturation and the bulbourethral gland lubricates the urethra prior to ejaculation. So my best educated guess would be A.
 
You can show these errors to AcetheDAT and ask for compensation/refund since they claim themselves to be "error free"!

well, i have reported 20-30 mistakes. they once sent an email message saying they are going to give me a refund but that hasn't happened yet. i don't have much faith in these people.

I paid 50 bucks (or however much it was), ended up getting back 40. 👎

How long did it take them to pay you $40? For me, it's been 3 weeks and no refund yet. You reported 8 mistakes. I reported 20-30 and I guess other people have reported more mistakes. How could they possibly have too many mistakes??????? I wonder where they did their undergrad. work !!! :laugh:

I think if the question is already reported they do not refund any money.

I recently bought ace the dat. I have just worked a few of the questions. But could you please explain me the dry ice question. My answer is not tallying too. I just wanna make sure my approach is correct.

i used PV=nRT formula.

That is not the case. They keep telling me that I'll receive $$$ but that hasn't happened yet. They have a much faster banking system for charging customers.
