What a terrible four hour experience. I'm convinced the CIA must use this as an interrogation technique. I went from feeling confident from all the qvault scores to feeling like I know nothing.

Here are my scores from the first and second exam. Not sure if I'll go for the third or just take the OAT and ADA 2009 tests tomorrow. I'll probably do the third just to get used to the pressures again.

Achiever 1
PAT: 18
QR: 22
RC: 17
BIO: 21
GC: 21
OC: 21
TS: 21
AA: 20

Achiever 2
PAT: 18
QR: 20
RC: 17
BIO: 17
GC: 18
OC: 18
TS: 18
AA: 18

Should I try postponing and get TopScore too? Or just go for it on Thursday?

My scores with achiever were worse than yours on all seven practice tests I took. Achiever is super hard. If you can pull 17s and 18s, you'll do awesome on the actual test.

Like I said, my Achiever scores were 17's and 18's on everything, and my DAT scores were much higher.

have no fear. in my opinion, the achiever is not accurate at all as a practice test. science is a little bit harder, but reading comprehension and perceptual ability are much much much harder than the real thing. use them as practice, understand the concepts, and you'll do fine. your achiever scores are good as it is

Good work! You're doing fine, just keep your head up and go in there with confidence.

PA is harder on the real DAT. More folds for the hole punch and the angles are a lot closer.

Also the questions on biology are a bit random.... just stuff your brain full of facts.

Tomorrow's the day. Kind of nervous, at least I moved up to a 19 in PAT and 19 AA on Achiever 3. I just pray the real deal isn't going to be this bad. Just reading over notes and probably will do a random CDP test today.

I will be looking forward to your breakdown before I retake, in my opinion achiever is must more difficult in every section including PAT. Good luck

Trust me, with scores like that on Achiever, I would be very confident if i were you. In fact, use my post to gain some confidence, because I can assure you those are some nasty good scores for achiever. You're in for a celebration tomorrow, trust me.

Btw achiever 1,2,3 are awesome practice.
