Hey does anyone have any thoughts on Acethedat.com, the online test prep? Has anyone ever used it before?

warning- their science section, particularly ochem section is just crap. What I did is I did some print screens from acethedat and from Topscore and took them to my ochem professor so I can get some help. He helped me with the topscore questions and when we proceeded to talk about the acethedat questions, he was baffled most of the time. There were clearly some misleading and plain bad questions overall. He even told me to warn people about those questions.. he plainly called them "crap".
However, on a different note, their PAT section I've heard is representative of the real thing since it's pretty hard.

Well, not quite. It's better practice since it is actually harder than the real PAT. Those angle ranking problems are ridiculous! Even harder than the real PAT. The other sections of the PAT, though, are pretty good practice. So is the Math part.

i agree... PAT is useful ...has pretty good explanations for answers for that section too... but other than that... maybe the QR is ok practice too... I think the money is better spent for Top Score...

Yes, there are some crap questions. Another thing with acethedat.com is that their product is plagued by grading issues. One time I was marked off because I selected an answer and the answer key was left blank for that particular question. I became so frustrated with everything else that I only used them for the PAT practice, which I felt helped me as the real DAT was harder than Kaplan or Topscore.
