How comparable is the ADA sample test to the real thing? I just went through the biology section quite easily and was wondering if this should be encouraging or not. Thanks
 
The sample test from ADA only gives you a general idea of what to expect on the real DAT.
 
I took it about 5 days before my real DAT and got:
19bio/23gchem/25ochem

my real thing was:
21bio/21gchem/23ochem

I really pushed bio hard at the end (probably explains the slight increase) so I'd say the real thing is certainly harder but it's not like night and day or anything. It's still helpful and gives you an accurate representation of how the questions are asked. No practice test is perfect and this is no exception, but it's not a terrible indicator like many make it sound.
 
nice insight boomer.

I didnt want to make a separate thread for this, but how accurate is it in terms of the PAT. I thought the aperture was kind of hard on this, however TFE and hole punching were ridiculously easy. I just took it and got a 21. Should I not be excited :laugh:?
