I have my test on next Tuesday but I don't feel ready to take the test after taking Topscore and Achiever. Will someone please comment how my Topscore and Achiever scores are? I know they are harder than the actual test, but I don't feel confident about my science scores because they flacuate.

Kaplan BB AA 18 TS 17 Bio 18 GC 16 OC 17 PAT 20 RC 18 QR 20
Topscore 1 AA 18 TS 17 Bio 18 GC 18 OC 14 PAT 21 RC 18 QR 20
Topscore 2 AA 18 TS 17 Bio 17 GC 15 OC 18 PAT 21 RC 21 QR 20
Achiever 1 AA 20 TS 18 Bio 16 GC 20 OC 16 PAT 16 RC 21 QR 24
Achiever 2 AA 19 TS 17 Bio 17 GC 16 OC 15 PAT 16 RC 21 QR 23
 
you look pretty ready. The DAT is not as specific as all the practice tests. If your going through the answers and thinking "how the hell would I have known that! this question is BS" then most likely that question really is BS, to detailed, and will never show up on the exam. Knowing the key concepts that commonly arise on every test is what is important. You should be good.
 
Do you guys really think so even though I haven't scored over 20 on the bio and ochem section? I want to just get over with the freakin' test, but I don't want to see below 20 scores. :scared:
 
i don't think anyone on here can honestly tell you if you are ready based on topscore or acheiver scores. there doesn't seem to be any correlation between what you get on these practice tests versus the real thing. i suggest checking the ada websites to see the topics covered and ask yourself if you are prepared for each topic. remember that the tests are only a good resource to study from and practice test conditions...not to predict your test score.

try the ADA sample test. if you get over 20 on bio and near perfect on gchem and ochem, ure rdy,.
 
Gauch08, we have almost the identical practice scores. I'm taking it tomorrow, I'll let you know if those scores correlate!
 
I just tried the kaplan test from the CD and I have to say that I was practically clueless on the test. Is it me or is the CD worthless.

Also just picked up the schaum books on orgo, bio and chemistry since I noticed that the kaplan book seemed to be skimpy on certain areas.

Good luck on the test Hirumiana Jones!👍

Is the actual test like that? If it is, that makes me feel good since I missed only 4 on bio, 2 on gchem and 1 on ochem.🙂
