hey guys,
for those of you who ordered this service, how were the sciences compared to the real DAT? from my impression, most of the people have said that the science were VERY hard and specific and NOT representative of the DAT. but i just wanted to know if that is the true consensus. furthermore, i know that the science portion is riddled with mistakes in the answer key, but that is not a big deal beacuse i just want to see how the actual question on the ACE the DAT compare with the acutal DAT. any input would be greatly appreciated.

I've posted this before, but I'll post it again:
I printed out some ?s and answers from acethedat so that my ochem professor and my gen chem professor could help me as I was stuck on some of the questions. Both of them said that those questions were pretty bad written, especially my ochem prof. So, then I discarded them. I also screen printed some topscore ?s and they didn't make any negative comments on these questions, only on the acethedat ?s. NOw, that's sciences.
I've said and I'll repeat: Math and Pat sections were very helpful, particularly in the math section. Good luck!

ok, this kind of puts me in a real big hole, i am getting ready to take my dat again, and i have pretty much exhausted all options for getting more questions to practice with (the first time i took the dat i did both the kaplan exams that came with the book, the TS questions, and the baron's questions.) i do not have the money to buy the kaplan q bank...so i really have no idea what i am going to do get practice with more questions for the sciences. if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

From what i've seen they are identical in the text as the blue book but the lesson books have questions at the end of every section. However this was for the Kaplan MCAT lesson books I looked at so I can't say for sure about the DAT.
