I'm really worried. I have the Kaplan book and have been through it twice. I also have the Kaplan DAT questions that you get online when registered for the class and the practice tests. I had been doing pretty decently on all of them even under the time constraints. Recently, i purchased DAT achiever and took their first practice test. and i felt like it was a lot harder and did pretty bad on it. I feel like their questions were very detailed. I just wanted to know everyone else's input. Am i doomed? I got a 17 when I took the achiever practice test. But on kaplan i had been getting in the 20 range. I know kaplan PAT is a lot easier than the real thing. Can someone tell me if I'm doomed or not? 😕

People's achiever scores are generally much lower than their actual scores.

Do not use Achiever to try to predict your score, but rather use it to gauge your understanding of the material.

There are plenty of people that are getting in that range for Achiever that do 20+ on the real thing. However, if you feel you are shaky on the concepts, then you should be more concerned.

Sounds like you will be fine.

Thank you very much. After going through the questions with the DAT achiever I do feel like i understand it a bit better. God willing, it will go well.
Thank you very much for your input

You'll be fine. I dont think I ever went above a 20 on Achiever AA, but did a lot better on the real thing.
