Has anyone used datprimer?

I've been looking for reading comprehension resources because I really need a good mark on RC. Someone on another forum mentioned datprimer, which seems rather new as it's barely on the first page if you google it and I haven't seen anyone else talk about it. They offer 3 free RC tests and 16 additional tests if you subscribe for $20 which seems like quite a good deal but I want to spend as little money as possible. I tried the first two and they seemed pretty good (really hard though) but does anyone here have experience with the other tests?

This website is going to be shutdown so fast. Literally all of the passages are minorly edited, direct copies of scientific articles. And they have stolen these scientific articles to use them for a commercial product, that they're selling for profit.

For example, their first test has 1st passage on microbio, with almost word for word copy from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3147266/
Second passage, almost word for word copy from http://www.med.nyu.edu/medicine/labs/blaserlab/v1-who_are_we.html
Third passage almost word for word copy from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1500833/

I'm sure this pattern continues with all of their other tests.

I'd encourage people to report this website to the copyright holders. I've reported them to the European Molecular Biology Organization, where their first test steals from.

Also, if you look at the OP's post history, it's hilarious. All there posts ask about the format of the DAT RC. It's like OP was doing research on how to make their test questions for this product

Wow, sudayoga that's a huge assupmtion to make. How do you know if the authors of the articles are not the same people on datprimer? Plenty of people do "side business" to earn some extra income. The dat primer might have bought their license too. You should get sued for defamation.
