its been said enough that achiever is more difficult than the actual test and my score is consistently stagnant...It feels like the questions are out of scope, they are extremely difficult and doesnt represent the actual test...
For those who have scored really high on the Actual DAT...how do you grade Achiever, how helpful was it? How many question types did you see in the actual test?
Am getting frustrated using this software.

Never used it before, a friend said it was garbage. Try using the DAT qvault instead.

what did you score on the actual DAT...if thats ok for you to share.

Achiever is much harder than the actual exam... I got 18 on Achiever test #1 and didn't do anymore after that. I got 24AA and 25TS on the real thing. Their PAT is insanely hard too but it's good practice for the real DAT, as I believe the real DAT's PAT is somewhere between Crack DAT PAT and Achiever's PAT section.

I didn't use Achiever, but if the PAT is hard, DO IT! I was awesome at Crack PAT but the perceptual section on my actual DAT rocked my world. It was light years more difficult than Crack. I don't think you can ever be too prepared for that section!

Agreed^^ Use Achiever for PAT, esp keyholes and TFE. The real DAT PAT section was between CDP and Achiever.

Read breakdowns to see people's reactions and opinions on Achiever vs real DAT. Good luck! 🙂

I thought achiever was not helpful at all, I would focus on really learning the material rather than destroying your confidence. The PAT section is good though unless you have a mac (could not view answers in 3D). I had 21aa/22ts/21pat since you are asking.

it works on macs if you have the e-drawings program. it works on my mac

In addition to what has been said above,

Achiever's RC on test 6 and 7 are, in my opinion, the best RC tests out there.

Their plethora of biology questions that make you think critically help somewhat.

GC and OC are garbage.

QR is alright, but unnecessary.

Check out my breakdown link below and you can see several resources and how they compare with my actual test. Hopefully it can give a gauge on where you fall right now...
