As far as PAT goes, I have heard that CDP is slightly easier than the real DAT. If anyone has tried both, how would you compare them as far as preparing you for the PAT section on the real test?

I only used CDP last year for PAT prep and averaged around a 19-20 and got a 20 on the real DAT. I am retaking the test in a couple of weeks and have been using CDP along with Bootcamp PAT. I have only taken 2 Bootcamp PAT test so far and they are definitely tougher than CDP.

Agreed. Bootcamp is considerably difficult and I think (and especially hope) the real thing is easier than Bootcamp and comparable to CDP
