Hey guys I am new to this, i have read a couple threads and just finished a kaplan practice test and my grades were bad .🙁 🙁
i wanted to order top score or achiever in order to complete more practice test because kaplan only gave us a midterm final and an extra, soo what would yall recommend?? top score or achiever or is there anyhting better out there?? my test is in 2 weeks any feedback would be excellent.
thanks
 
Well first off which study guides did you use to prepare?

Check my link on achiver vs topscore it should help you a lot and let me know if you found it useful because I put a lot of time into it for exactly this reason!
Good luck
 
oh okay thanks yes it helped so overall it looks like you think achiever is better correct?? thats what i got from it that it was best all around. and smile 101 what do u mean crack PAT has only 1 hr long tests
 
Kaplans tests are unrealistic in the sciences because they dont let you go between sections... what would happen to me is either i would spend too much time on BIO and rock it, but get crushed on orgo because i was out of time... If i knew i could review the bio questions at the END (like in the real DAT) i wouldnt have waisted so much time there... same with Chem.... the time management of Kaplan was just way off and it kind of instills bad habits.

I have more of a breakdown on Kaplan and my practice tests on my review post (its wayyyy back there by now but if you click on view all my posts its there somewhere)
 
i have been using cliff notes ap bio/ exam crackers/ kaplan so far.

Dude kaplans is a waste of your time get destroyer and Crack the DAT and then you will be prepared perhaps. Kaplans sucks, it is full of mistakes and is way to easy. Cliffs is good and i dont know anything about exam crackers.
 
honestly, if you got both the achiever and topscore you would benefit from both regardless. That only depends on how much you review your answers from both tests.
 
if money/time isn't an issue, I'd also rec getting both topscore and achiever. you can never have too much practice. as long as you learn from your mistakes, you can do well! i was bombing my practices, and i managed out alright.
 
Get topscore first...achiever is a bit too hard to be the first test you take.
And of course crack dat pat.
Kaplan also has 3 full-lengths.
