PAT: Apeture was EXTREMELY HARD--very similar to DAT acheiver, harder than the ADA PAT handouts. Very ambiguous and tough to discern small areas with a lot of action. Orthographic projections, angles, hole punching, and cubes were roughly the same as the ADA PATs. Pattern folding was mostly easy with maybe 3 or 4 pretty tough ones...maybe a little harder than the ADA PATs.
One of the hole punches was drawn off scale kind of like how DAT achievers are it drove me nuts. I spent 3 minutes and then just guessed on it.
QR: Very challenging. Just as hard as the hardest sample tests that I've taken except that they didn't ask anything that required memorization. There were a lot of long problem statement. I guessed on 10 of them due to time.
RC: First passage was pretty hard (24 min), second was a little easier (20 min), and then third was easiest (16 min -a few) but the computer froze for a few minutes---this really sucked because I felt i would have had enough time to finish them all and especially in this section since I was already familar somewhat witih the topic. I ended up guessing on 7 of them and actually left one incomplete, due to time. The protocol said she would write down that I lost about 5 minutes because of computer problems.
BIO: Pretty random questions like any other sample test. They didn't ask anything very ridicolous like DAT achiever does though, such as phyla or other taxonomic relationships that aren't the common ones. Nothing about plants or photosynthesis, nor about the brain nor about biomes, nor about the eyes or ears. There were a few "in-depth" questions about fertilization.
I felt I could have still studied another 20 hrs for bio before going into the test, but honestly I don't think it would have made any difference, as a lot of the questions are just so random and would ask questions about topics I was familar with in a convolted way.
Two questions were really hard--they tested me on topics I was familar with but were just way way way too in depth it was ridicoulous and they also requried inference.
GC: Was easier than sample tests because it didn't require the amount of calculation that a lot of sample tests do. However a couple problems were challenging, partially one where I was able to narrow down the answer to 2 particular elements but didn't know the symbol of either one so couldn't determine what group it was in.
OC: Was also easier than a lot of sample tests because the problems didn't really involve anything that even remotely required writing the molecules down. You could do it all in you head.
As far as sample tests, I took the top score ones and DAT acheiver but I took a 30 min break most of the time and for 2 of them I even just did them scattered. I usually scored around 20 on top score for sciences, 20-22 for PAT, 20-22 for RC, and 20-25 for QR. With DAT achiever I usually got 17-18 on sciences, 18-20 on PAT, 20-22 on RC, and 20-22 on QR
