bro, its a practice exam u should try to emulate testing conditions! go over the answers and see what happened. did u get them wrong because u had no idea or did u get them wrong because u knew the answer but werent fully concentrating on the test? try to understand each question and the concepts behind them. gl dude i know u can pull it off!👍

those tests are also supposed to be harder than the real thing

True, take a Topscore.

I have not taken the real DAT yet (this Thur). But I feel as if Achiever is much more difficult and "nit-picky" when it comes to the natural sciences and PAT. Thus, it seems as if its not a true representation in the slightest. Maybe its a good resource for those who really want to test or prepare themselves.

My advice is to look over your answers for the important/ main concept questions that you KNOW will be on the DAT and kinda skim over the super specific questions. Also, try taking a Top Score, which seems much more reasonable imo.

I dunno, what are other people's opinions on Achiever.

Try taking a topscore test between now and then.

i agree with the above post, go over all the questions you got wrong and make sure you understand the concepts behind the questions. if you're completely clueless, you might want to postpone a little bit. achiever is tougher, but not insanely tougher.
