hey guys, i'm taking the DAT in four days.
i've been doing the Kaplan practice exams and my sci scores are lingering in the 15s so i'm literally having a nervous breakdown
i haven't even started on the Topscore (don't wanna see those 15s again)
how well do these practice scores predict the REAL ones?
any advices on cramming for the bio/chem sections in FOUR days??
THANKS

I think it completely depends on the person waikiki. Personally, I found Topscore to be more challenging than the actual DAT, but Kaplan to be a little easier when I was in the exam. But when I got out, my scores in bio and gchem were higher than in Kaplan (was getting 18/18 respectively, and ended up getting 20/19 respectively). Kaplan may be a better indicator, but if you want to overprep, use topscore...i found organic to be similar to topscore and quantitative too. PAT is harder than both on the actual test. Don't worry too much.

I know this is osmething you probably dont want to hear, but I dont suggest cramming like that for one of the most important tests of your life.

Why dont you post pone it like 10-15 days and study normally. I doubt the 15 days will have much effect on your application.
