I finally took the test yesterday morning after a whole lot of studying. I had been reading everyones posts throughout my studying and it helped me a lot when people would post their actual scores along with the scores on the various tests they took prior to the real thing, so here are mine.
Real thing:
AA: 21
PAT:20
BIO: 22
Chem:23
Orgo:25
TS:23
RC: 21
QR:16 🙁
I was very excited to see these scores (except for the QR) considering I was averaging 17 and 18's on all my practice tests.
AA/PAT/BIO/Chem/Orgo/TS/RC/QR
Achiever 1:
18/16/17/16/14/16/20/19
Achiever 2:
17/18/14/16/17/16/20/15
Achiever 3:
18/18/14/16/17/16/23/19
Topscore 1:
17/20/17/15/16/16/21/15
Topscore 2:
18/21/18/19/17/18/20/17
Topscore 3:
18/22/17/17/17/17/21/18
Kaplan 1:
17/21/17/17/19/18/17/16
Kaplan 2:
17/20/18/19/16/18/18/16
Kaplan 3:
16/19/18/14/12/15/18/15
I did Kaplan all summer with a tutor which I definately think helped get my basics down. He also told me about SDN which is amazing. I obviously did both Topscore and Achiever of which I think Achiever was the most helpful. I counted 19 bio questions that were either exact questions on my dat or some version that if you read the answers would know how to do it. Also about one week before I bought the DAT destroyer. I probably purchased it much later than I should have but I thought better late than never. Even though I was a huge skeptic about it at first I would 100% recommend it now. I spoke with Nancy and Dr Romano on the phone which I never believed before when people would post, but its true, and they are so nice. They did say I should have more time to go through it but I had put off the test for long enough and couldnt wait anymore. So I had about 3 days and I went through all the bio and orgo problems, about half the QR and 90% of the chem problems. Can I say that this book alone made the difference? I dont know, all I know is that I was averaging 16's in the gen chem sections on all my practice tests and I come up with a 23 on the real thing. I truly do not know how it happened. Same thing with orgo, I was never getting in the 20's and then on the real thing i got a 25.
I am finally finished studying and very pleased with my scores. I hope this helps for whoever likes to compare scores as I did. My top 2 recommendations for studying would be DAT Destroyer and Achiever!
