Anyone know how much harder the achiever is from the real DAT?

On the first three achiever tests im getting 16 TS for all 3 tests
PAT is fine, just worried about the TS
There are so many calculations in chem that don't seem reasonable without a calculator and alot of the ochem questions they just give the name of the compounds which i don't know. They don't give formulas like CH3CH4... ect.

I've never used Achiever, but based on other breakdowns, people scoring ~17's scored in the 20's on the real DAT. Based on your scores now I think you should be fine! 🙂

Achiever is ridiculous. 😀 Just took the test too. If anything, the scoring is super harsh too. Let's just say, Achiever is your very worst case scenario.

Here's my breakdown. Took a few Achiever tests. You can compare the scores and determine what you think:

Hey, jonathankimmm Achiever was definitely harder than the real DAT. However, I didn't really use it as a representation of my "future" scores on the real DAT. Thanks to everyone on SDN, I understood that it's great for helping you get a better understanding of concepts that you may already know. For example, there was a certain question on the kidneys. Before seeing the question I thought I knew everything about the kidneys and the mechanisms involved in secretion. Boy was I wrong! Achiever made me go back and further enhance my knowledge of all the topics. It was tough, but I mainly used it to sharpen my knowledge and to quickly do problems (such as gchem). Not gonna lie, the scores did scare me a bit 😛
