How comparable is this practice test to the real deal? I just took it and got scores I would be satisfied with (19s, 20s, a 23). I take the real test on Wednesday.

I think it is a good judge based on other threads, but you should also compare using your kaplan and TS scores...

I havent taken the real deal yet (Saturday!), but check out other threads

Someone told me that sample test is a joke.

It's semi-complete. Reading is only one passage. Everything else is complete. I've only looked at its SNS, QR, RC tests.

I got SNS = 27 (Bio 22, G'Chem 30, O'Chem 30) - My best performance ever.
I got above 25 for QR (not my best performance. I have had a few 30s)
*EDIT*
Clarification:
Their sample reading is ok but I guess because they give 15 minutes it's more difficult than other sample readings...
*EDIT*

I have NOT taken its PAT test yet. Today, I needed to go out to have some fun 😉 I'll probably take that test after midnight :laugh:

Update:

I am now done with all the sections (the most recent ADA sample):

The sample test was the easiest DAT test I have ever taken

SNS 100% (only missed 3 bio questions)
PAT top 1% (angles were a bit harder than usual)
QR top 1% (stupid mistakes)
RC an ok score if I give myself 20 min. instead of the 15 min they give....
(NOT sure if this is a good indicator: it was only one passage, time was 15 min, I knew a bit about electromagnets 😉 )

CONCLUSION: So, I agree with the fellow who said this sample test is a joke.

I heard it was supposed to be the closest exam resembling the real DAT on test day considering its from the test makers themselves. but I havent taken it yet.. its just what I've heard from people. shrugs

I doubt it. The whole sample test is a big joke.
