I have taken three achiever practice exams and have scored a 17AA on all three. I am taking my DAT in a week and a half and was wondering if I should push back the exam. The scores I have been getting have been worrying me very much and I'm confused on whether I should push back my test date or not. Thank you!

Don't worry about your scores on Achiever. Just use it as a "learning tool" and learn from your mistakes. People say that 16 is the "magic number" for Achiever, and if you can get 16 AA, you should be good to go. However, if you really want to be depressed, you should try Achiever test 4.
 
17 isn't bad for achiever. My average score for the first 4 achiever tests was I think an 18 or 19AA and I got a 24 AA on the real thing. Don't measure your scores with Achiever. It is just god awful in the "accuracy of scores" department. If you have the others, feel free to do them, but always remember that the scores from achiever are meaningless by themselves. They just let you see if you're improving relative to other Achiever tests.

Even if you don't improve you'll most likely hit a 20-21 with ease if not shoot higher.
