Is it just me, or am i noticing that there is a REALLY hard DAT in circulation and a doable one. From what I've been reading, people have the crazy one with biology that nobody knows (FRAP, etc), to doable ones where people are getting 24s. I have my DATs in a week and I'm officially freaking out, hence my username.
Also: About how similar do you guys topscore grades represent how you'll do on the actual exam? I took the Kaplan course, use the kaplan lesson and regular book, and am doing all the topscore exams. my dats are this coming thursday, and im nervous as heck 🙁

Don't freak out. Generally speaking, people score slightly higher on the actual DAT compared to Topscore. My AA from Topscore ranged from 20-22 and PAT ranged from 20-23. You just gotta go in with confidence and do the best youcan.

the biggest piece of advice i can give to anyone is that even if you think you didn't do well on a section, keep on going! you may have actually done better than you think, and it's important to stay positive to get you through the rest of the test. i did that today, and it paid off!
