For those who have taken the real DAT?

Is Acethedat.com worth it? I'm taking my DAT in 5 days and i've already taken 2 kaplan tests from the blue book and all 3 TS tests.

I'm thinking about registering for acethedat.com for more gchem practice. Does acethedat.com's NS science section reflect that of the real DATs?

Also, I know its been beaten to death, but generally are there less calculations on real DAT for the gen chem section? The TS Gchem section takes me about 50 minutes!

Thanks

i heard some sections of the acethedat.com isnt worth it, alot of mistakes in their answers...but you know what, the DAT will determine your future and every bit of help is beneficial...so take it for what it's worth and use acethedat

From what other people have said on this board, ACEthedat is only good for PAT ability practice.

Do NOT use the acethedat.com site. The practice questions come from the "practice DATs" , so pretty much once you have seen the practice questions, you are almost guaranteed to see them again on the test.

Many of their answers are wrong; they graded my tests wrong (for example when I KNEW that I put C as my answer for a certain question, they would say that I actually put D - when I knew I DIDN'T !!! 😡 )

Needless to say, I would not recommend the service. I actually wrote them an email, hoping I can get my money back and if not, I'll just keep on spreading the word on how horrible my experience with the service was.

Wow...am I glad I could vent to someone and help at the same time !!! 😀

I did fine on my real DATs; for the most part I used Kaplan study guides.

Thanks guys!

Maybe i'll pick up Barron's book instead for a practice test

ummm... barron's sucks too. Hate to break it too you. Quite a few errors in their tests... I bought it and definitely regret it.

Say no to Acethedat and barrons.
