is it possible to score 20+ in achiever's chem and orgo and end up scoring below an 18 in the actual dat?

did it happen to anyone?
 
I think he means if its possible to score well on the Achiever, but to perform badly on the actual.

Although very unlikely, I would say its still possible. Generally people score a lot higher on the actual DAT than Achiever due to its difficulty.
 
It's definitely possible, keep studying like your life depended on it.

However, if you are trying to go in to the center with a little confidence, then, to be honest, you don't hear about it too often.

On the other hand, I've heard from numerous people that Achiever is no longer representative of the test at all.

Yes, because when you are PRACTISING using achiever, you are not under the stress of writing the real DAT. Stress makes you do crazy things, so just try your best to remain calm on test day!
