Hi

For the science of the Topscore, I keep loosing time on the general chemistry portion.
The Chemistry and Biology are separate.

On the Real DAT, If you finish the bio early, can you allocate time to the Chemistry section? i.e. are all the sciences tested together?


For the Crack DAT reading, there is no highlight function but it tells you which paragraph.
On the real test, can you high light? Or at least, will they tell you which paragraph the question is refering to?

I find the paper test waay easier than testing on the computer.

The science sections are tested together. You have 90 minutes for 100 questions. They are "separated" by a screen that lets you know that the next 30 questions are a different subject but the time doesn't pause and you can move freely between any of them.

You have no interface at all with the Reading section beyond scrolling up/down, marking the answers, and clicking the buttons at the bottom (mark, review, next, back)--so no highlighting.


Do not practice with paper tests!!!!!! Seriously it can **** you up! If you take a practice test on paper only use it to look at questions, do not write on the test. Get a dry erase board to do all calculations and writing because you will lose time on each section due to erasing and writing larger and looking from your board to a screen.
