So i decided to go with achiever instead of topscore, and i think it may have been a huge mistake. not only have i gotten horrible scores, but i've learned nothing useful from it. I have 3 days left- do you guys that have already taken the DAT think that it's worth getting topscore and taking those 3 tests in the next 3 days, or should I stick to reviewing destroyer???
any advice would be MUCH appreciated...
 
get topscore. do all that you can. rest on the day before your test, dont psych/stress yourself out. order it now!
 
ahhhh okay well then- if i only have time to do one or two, which ones are the most helpful??? any idea on the difference between the 3?? thanks for your help!!!
 
Theyre all similar, and each one has useful tools in each one, don't necessarily have to do PAT or QR, but all but those two sections are very useful
 
i think you should use your time to review and go over destroyer. I don't think its very helpful to go over such a narrow range of questions on a practice test. I used my practice tests mostly to perfect my timing. Days before I went over some destroyer and Cliff's. I also used achiever... last one i took about 4 days b4 my exam.
 
Honestly, I just took my DAT yesterday and advise you to do the following:

1. Review ALL AP Cliff's and make sure you know each vocab word like, "imprinting, FAP, etc. etc. or endosperm, plant stuff" this should be done the two days before your exam. I felt this helped me get my 20.

2. Review Chad's notes for both genchem and ochem. Also, do his supplemental questions, b/c I saw similar ones end on my exam.

3. Review Destroyer road maps

4. Take one math test from destroyer each day. This will help you keep up with timing and your facts. The day before your exam go through all the equations in the front of the book.


Good luck to you! I hope you do well. = )
