ADA Practice Versus DAT

[klpennin]

For those of you who have taken the ADA practice test and the DAT already... did you think that they were comparable in difficulty. I just took the NS section of the test and I got:

BIO 19
Chem - 25
Ochem - 25

Don't get me wrong I am happy with these score but they seem inflated compared to other practice tests i've taken.

Also the chem section didn't have many calculations, mainly it would give you a problem and just ask you, how you would arrange the numbers to solve without having to actually calculate it out. Is this the way the real test is?

Thanks!

FIrst of all, on the real test, the bio is completellllly different. It is very random. The G chem is slighly harder and orgo has more reactions. Expect your score to go down a bit in G chem and Orgo (not too much down but it is much harder on the real; thing) The bio is scary on the real thing. it is all conceptual and nothing straight forward.

P.S. I took the real DAT today and on that ADA test I got a 21AA on the real thing 18AA 🙁

I killed the practice DAT test, then took a Kaplan and did much worse...
ADA means nothing...I got like a 22 on O-chem and I hadn't even finished the class (all I did in the class was alkanes and alkene reactions).
Don't think anything of it...you might do better, you might do worse.
