Hey all!

I'm taking my DAT in 10 days.

I've done the following materials

Destroyer (reviewed each section about 3 times)
Cliffs AP bio
Crack DAT PAT
Achiever 5 tests
Kaplan blue book
qVault

I'm scoring about a 17-18 on achievers test and I know that they're much harder than the actual exam so I don't feel too worried? but if I should be please let me know! Lol

Also I'm shooting for about a 21-22 for my overall score
RC is my lowest section however =\ I made a 19 as my highest score on that section on any practice that i've done

PAT: Been scoring between 18-22 on my Practice sections with CDP

I'm a bit confused as to how the overall score is calculated I looked it up online and it said something about it being in comparison to how well previous years students did on that particular section? Which made zero sense to me... is it just an average of all of your sections?

Been studying for about 3.5 months now,
How did everyone feel about the Achiever tests in comparison to the real thing?
Any last minute tips would be awesome! 🙂

Thanks so much!
 
Im in the same boat as you right now, DAT in a week and reviewed pretty much the same thing as you.
Overall score, AA, is just all your 5 academic scores averaged. And each of your academic scores, BIO GC OC QR RC are scaled according to each section, so basically compare to whoever took that test already. And the general consensus on Achiever vs REAL DAT is that you jump anywhere from 2-4 points, but most say you jump like +3 points. Since I'm taking my DAT a bit sooner than you I can give you some input after I take mine!
I'm starting to get a bit nervous! I keep making stupid/silly mistakes on all my practice exams lowering my scores, hopefully I don't do that on the real exam.
