Free ADA Sample DAT vs. Real DAT

Members don't see this ad.

I just took the NS section of the free dat sample on the ada site (link) and received these scores:
BIO: 20 (89.1%)
GC: 25 (98.4%)
OC: 28 (98.0%)

I'm just wondering if that test has been a strong indicator of score for those who have taken both.

Every test is different, but yes it seems like the kind of question I had on my test. By that I mean it seems like if the questions on my exam came from a pool of 1000, those questions could conceivably come from that same pool of 1000, so the difficulty is about the same.

Nice scores, might wanna brush up on bio a llittle more though. Yes the bio section was as simple as those in that practice exam... very broad and tested general knowledge rather than anything too specific.

Yeah. The sample is easier than the real thing. I think this has been noted many times here on SDN.

But those are good scores that you got. You should do well on the real thing.

Yea, i actually had one question on the actual DAT that was also on the sample exam from ADA....exactly the same question with the same answer choices in the same order. I think questions from both the sample from ADA and the real DAT come from the same test bank. So each person gets questions that were randomly picked out from the question bank

D0 you have the score conversion chart or scale for that practice test?
