Dat ACHIEVER IS.......REALLLLLY Hard!!!!!! WHY? Oh why?

[ashman]

Hey you guys I just took these DAT achiever tests these past few days, and boy oh boy its rough, not only in the PAT as many of you say but ALL the DARN sections. Did you all find this to be the case also? I mean between yesterdays test and todays I got 17 bio/18 chem/17 ochem/18 qr/20 verb/ and 17 PAT. How low of scores are those, its really scary and CONFUSING as hell when two days before that I got on my TOP SCORE test 21/22/21 bio/chem/ochem, 20 PAT, and 21 verbal and 19 math. Those are two different scores what the hell. AND ALSO last week I took the ADA test and got a 25/27/28 bio/chem/ochem and 20 verbal 20 math, with 20 PAT. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THE DAT ACHIEVER OR IS IT JUST ME???? You guys have any of these same numbers and how did you do???/ HELPPPPP

You should appreciably be able to score over 20 for your sciences, and 19-21 for your reading and math. Work harder on your PAT and try to improve your score(s) to 18 or 19 on this section.

Just as you did, DAT Achiever is the toughest sample tests I ever experienced. But it will certainly do wonders to your DAT if you consistently look up to its standards.

It's pretty difficult compared to most. Try to learn from your mistakes and don't feel bad.

I have similar disparities between my practice scores as well. DAT Achiever is the hardest I have seen in all sections. I like to think as though it is the real DAT: the worse scenario. I have taken the real DAT once and think your Topscore sciences are more representative of the real thing. RC is about the same as the real thing on DAT Acheiver. QR is a little harder, but my real DAT QR was real tough but others seem to think the real DAT QR is easier. The only flaw I see in your practice scores is the PAT. I feel your pain. It is the only reason I did not get accept last year. DAT Achiever's holepunching, angles, orthrographic projections, and cubes are similar to the real DAT. However, the aperature and pattern folding on DAT Acheiver were way harder than what I saw on the real deal. It is more like Topscore for those sections. Barrons was also very representative for these sections. Bring your PAT score up a point and you should at least be safe with a 18 with a hard PAT section. Good luck!
