frustration with top score questions

im getting frustrated by the questions in top score. some examples:

TEST #1 -
Chem stupidity:
50 - A and C are mathmatically the same
68 - answer should be D since C has the incorrect charge number for Na
76 - should have heat in order to have the condensation otherwise
the answer should be E since the OH has not left.

TEST #2 -
Bio ambiguity:
8 - i wasnt sure if glucose degradation was glycolysis or aerobic respiration)
10 - the scrotum holds the seminiferous tubules!
14 - i thought the word "at" was asking for location

Math ridiculousness:
14 - had no idea when i took the test
15 - ambiguous, doesnt it sound like the colored flowers are the same
20 - had no idea when i took the test

am i being too picky (or even stupid with the way im thinking)? obviously some of these the answer is apparent since one is more specific or the formula looks "more correct" but i was wondering if the real DAT will have questions like this...ive already sent some of these issues to top score but they are being incredibly stubborn (ive heard the customer service is poor so i guess i got to personally confirm it).

two questions:
1) am i being too picky?
2) will the real DAT have similarly frustrating questions?

HAHAHAHA, I was exactly thinking what you are thinking now. BUT, in terms of grading, everyone suffers equally so your score still represents the real one.

Also, there is a list of errors on their site. You should read these errors while taking the test.

here they are just in case:


1. Test 1, Chem, Question 65
Answer should be C not A.
2. Test 3, QR, Question 24
Question stem typo 6a^2
3. Test 2, PAT, Question 26
Front View corrected
4. Test 3, PAT, Question 26
End View corrected
5. Test 3, PAT, Question 6
Answer E figure adjusted slightly
6. Test 3, PAT, Question 15
Answer C figure adjusted slightly
7. Test 2, Bio, Question 38
Answer C should read "NADH is produced"
8. Test 2, Bio, Question 7
Answer A should read "ATP and lactate only"

yeah i found that site but i was wondering if the real test is similar in ambiguity and ridiculousness...

hope you do well doc! rest up tomorrow!

Can someone tell me what's going on in Test 1 QR#3? What the hell are the 100 and 140 degree angles?
