DATQvault Bio vs real DAT scores?

[HDP]

Can anyone that has used the qvault for BIO and recently finished the DAT tell me how their scores compared? Were your actual scores higher or lower on the real DAT? I tried to search but it all seems to be from a long time ago. Thanks for your time.

Very similar.

I did see a few of the older posts that stated some scored at least 2 if not 4 points higher on the real thing. I can't seem to get over a 16 or 17 on them. So I am for sure struggling in Bio and with less than two weeks before my test I at least want to get a 17 or 18 on the real thing. I have been out of school for a while now and trying to study in my free time away from work.

Maybe this will help you focus your studying....this is the breakdown for Biology number of questions for each topic on the DAT from my kaplan course:
Cell & Molecular Biology 13
Structure and Function of Body Systems 9
Genetics 7
Developmental Biology 4
Evolution, Ecology and Behavior 4
Taxonomy 3

Thanks for the replies! Anyone else that recently used it, do you think it is easier or harder?

DQV Bio Tests 1-10: (22, 18, 25, 19, 20, 22, 25, 22, 22, 19) AVG: 21.4

I got a 22 on the real thing. However, I glanced at my notes for several of the DQV practice tests (especially those 25's), so my average should be slightly lower than this.
