I will be taking the dat Friday and am scared from what my practice tests show and what people on here have said. I am getting around 17, 18 on Achievers and low 20s on Topscore. On CDP and CDM I'm getting low 20s... any hope for me? Any advice for the next few days or the day of the test? I would really appreciate it!!
 
Achiever is notorious for being difficult...most people score 2-4 pts higher on the real DAT compared to it.

As for Topscore and CDP, I believe they are pretty much on par with the actual test.

Good luck!

I take mine tomorrow so I am right there with you!
 
Hey good luck on your DAT. I'm taking mine a few days after yours, and all I can say at this point is that based on a lot of other breakdowns and posts I've seen, if you're scoring in the low twenties on Topscore, you are probably set to get around the same thing or better!

And speaking as someone who's taken the MCAT before (you probably know this stuff), but try not to stress yourself out the day before the test. If you are going to review stuff, don't do it right up till the last minute. Take maybe at least half the day off and chill and go to bed early-ish. Then in the morning, eat a good breakfast and go for it! You will do awesome I'm sure!
 
I wouldn't be too concerned. I got 18s on Topscore test #3 two days before the actual thing and ended up with a 22.

Oh and one word of advice, try to watch how much drink the day of before the exam. I ended up having to pee really bad during the PAT portion right before the break!
 
From your scores so far, I would say you are going to do VERY well! Just don't overwhelm yourself too much before the exam. 😀
 
Do you think just going through solutions to old tests is my best approach for the next 2 days and relax more thursday?

Thanks for the advice everybody!!!! 🙂
