Does DAT Achiever helps in any way?
Any suggestions out there?
THanks in advance!

i think any supplemental material will help, as long as you learn from your mistakes.

It's pretty helpful for PAT and Science, but def. not an accurate gauge of your actual performance during test day.

for those who have used achiever, do you think it was harder than the actual test?

Haven't taken DAT but damn is PAT section much much harder than topscore or kaplan.

I just finished doing achiever Pat #1 (yes on a Saturday night instead of being at the bar 😡) and it was ridiculously harder than any other practice test I've done (couple of Kaplan, Barrons). I got a 15 on it. I did well on the angle ranking and cube counting but with pretty much everything else I guessed.

TFE questions...counting lines definately doesn't work! Keyhole...not too bueno either. WTF? I am praying that the DAT is much easier than achiever... til then I better practice more.


So does anyone have advice for well, pretty much every section other than angle ranking? For cube counting---should I count everything first?

I have a hard time with solid/dotted lines in TFE, hole punching, and the folding thing (last section). Any advice?

God help me on this test 😱.. I need a beer.

i can totally relate to you right now...i did horrible on Achiever PAT #1. however, i did do well on hole punching and cube counting. for cube counting, i will count only the cubes they are asking for (e.g. 2 sides exposed) and i use the same system each time to avoid confusion: front to back in each row, going from left to right. i actually count on my fingers...i hope this is allowed at our testing site lol. for hole punching, i really suggest you try out a couple with actual paper just so you can get an idea of the folds. achiever has some crazy/weird half-holes that i had never seen before, and i am hoping these don't show up on test day.

anybody have advice for TFE because apparently line counting doesn't work for achiever. it doesn't help eliminate choices, and it simply just takes too long.
