great job on improving. Now, you dont have topscore or achiever do you? I am not sure how to compare the kaplan with the actual DAT, because I know Kaplan's are easier. You said you were getting used to timing, more practice tests will fix that. Def skim over destroyer and possibily do as much random Q's as you can. Take one PAT everyday and take the CDP 6 twice possibly.

Good luck buddy.

i say postpone, kaplan chemistries and QR are simplified DAT questions, if you can't break 20s on kaplan, there's very slim chance u'll hit that score on the real DAT
postpone by 3 weeks, buy CDM and destroyer, go through those and you'll be in good shape
good luck

thanks for your responses!
i do have destroyer and yes i definately need to go over it again, and i have topscore and plan on taking that test after tommorrow (have class all day tommorrow) but i really dont want to postpone... is it a failed atempt if i dont?

Only you could tell if it is a fail attempt or not. But you dont want that to be answered in a negative way after taking it.

I really think you will be fine.

That's your decision to make, i would postpone, why do the test when you are not ready? this is a standardized test, unlike regular exams that are set on a certain date, u can move DAT test to anyday you want, use the scheduling to your advantage.

Postpone it. I found Kaplan test #1 to be very representative of the real test. Your chances of scoring well don't look so good yet.

 

[peace25]

thanks for all your input guys,
so i took a topscore test today and here are the results:
Bio 17
GC 15
OC 20
PAt 19
QR 18
RC 20
how does topscore compare to the actual... i feel like my scores on kaplan and topscore dont correlate?

 

[uclaDDS101]

Again, I would suggest you postpone it. Don't count on the real dat being easier than topscore just because it has a reputation for it. Wait until you comfortably hit 20 on a practice test before you take the real dat hoping for a 20.

This really depends on you, do you feel lucky?
I wasn't doing well on topscore right before i wrote my test, i was getting around 17 on bio (22 real)
but my chems were pretty solid, 20GC(25real) and 23+OC (24real)
QR was around 24-30 (24real)
*didn't do the other sections of topscore
However, i found i did all i could to study, if i spent more time i wasn't going to get any better, so i just went ahead with it.
But i took an Achiever test on the morning of my test (i scheduled mine at 12:30 in the afternoon), that morning i got a 27TS on achiever, i was like pretty confused because i got 16s-17s on the previous achievers...

Anyway, i just rode the lucky momentum and came out with a 24TS on real test...

 

[peace25]

thanks so much for all your response, i really apprecitate it guys!
ok so i had til today at 12:00 to rescedule and so i did.... i pused it back 1 week.... but i would like to work hard these next few days, analyze scores and possibly/hopefully take it on my original date still; am i alowed to reschedule my test for the next day? is that even possible?
and what do you think i should do as next steps?
thanks so much!

 

[peace25]

oops i meant that was Topscore test number 3 not 1... dont know if that makes much of a difference or which test is harder but ya. ?

 

[PaulieGualtieri]

Idk, I thought kaplan was a good representation of the DAT. Postpone

I got a 17 on Kaplan 3 a week before my real test and got a 20 AA 21 TS 20 PAT on the real exam. on the last 3 Kaplan prac tests I took (All 3 weeks before the real DAT) I got 18,19,17. I did better on the real DAT in every category except PAT and QR. You did alot better than me the week before the tests on your score, so I think your more than fine. Just practice your section especially reading. Good luck!
