Full Practice Tests

Hello,

I am ready for another full length practice test. I have already taken the 2009 ADA and thought that it wasn't that helpful as it does not let you see much in terms of what kinds of questions you got wrong. It just tells you how many our of a particular section you got wrong. Also, the 2007 ADA is not really a full test since it is leaving out two reading passages. Additionally, it seems that datQ vault and DAT Bootcamp offer subject tests, but not full length tests (am I wrong?). I looked into TopScore but it won't work on Mac computers, and Achiever seems to be a complete confidence breaker.

Anything else you guys recommend?

Thanks.

My advice, though I realize it's not what you're looking for:

Spend your time reviewing whole concepts, not just looking at isolated/random questions on practice tests. In the time you spend taking a practice test, you could instead entire concepts in whatever study tools you're using. Reviewing entire concepts = better understanding of the overall picture, which I believe is much more helpful.

I never took a full practice test. I just completed Chad's quizzes, the questions at the end of the chapters in Cliff's/Barron's AP, Crack PAT tests, and the Destroyer. It served me well.

Thanks for the reply! I totally understand what you're saying. I have spent the past month going over Kaplan, Destroyer, Math Destroyer, Crack PAT and Chad's. I would just like to take a practice exam to get a better feel for timing and whatnot. I did not take as many practice tests as I would have liked when I took it the first time so I want to change that this time.

you can install windows on your mac and install topscores... that's what i did few weeks ago 🙂

I don't think FULL tests are very beneficial. Just hit up your weak points, and take maybe one full test to gauge how you will manage time or energy during the test.

Personally, my top score was completely unrepresentative of the DAT.
I'd hate to say this, but the conceptual questions were more on-par with achiever questions.
