I took my DAT yesterday (2/20/14) and noticed a dramatic change in approach to the test (comparing to DAT destroyer, achiever, etc) for the biology section. These biology practice tests were easy for me since they were direct questions, but the real DAT test that I received, had so many conceptual questions, several questions were related to my advanced biology classes (Not mentioned in Feralis). Few lab questions/calculations, again not in Feralis. Mainly, the approach is toward conceptual/critical thinking.
I made a high grade, but was lower than what I'd expected before I took the test based on my background education. My questions is has anyone else had a similar test or had it always been like this?
