Hello everyone, these are my first two achiever exams that I have taken so far. Please give me feed back on improvement and if I am headed the right way. BTW, my DAT is scheduled for Oct. 19, will I have time to improve; to at least be in my 20's in the real thing? Oh, and after I am done with Achiever I am planning on purchasing Top Score which I hear it's really good as well. So, with Achiever and Top Score and going over all the info missed, do you think I will be prepared? Please be honest...thanks.

I am studying an avg. of 8-10 hrs a day more or less. Will it be enough to hit the 20's. Please give me as much advice as you can type, I am really 😕 undecided whether to take it Oct 19 or move it to Nov. Please help...

i dunno... did you watch chads chem videos? i suggest you watch them for orgo and gchem and then trying again... those scores are pretty low for the sciences... you have 2 days before to resched and if your grades dont improve after chads and studying cliffs ap bio some more, i would suggest pushing it back

I haven't taken the DAT, i've scheduled mine for late october.
However, I've done Acheiver 1 and TS 1.
In my opinion, i think you should study more and push the test back. TS 1 is very easy, i looked at the sample DAT from ADA, it looks harder than TS 1.
Achiever is tough, even so i don't think scores between 13-15 will jump to the 20s. There's less than 2 weeks left, unless you've just started studying and is bad at standardize testing, i don't know if it'll be possible to pull off a 5 point increase in 2 weeks.

Best of luck in studying, did you get Destroyer, KBB and Cliffs AP?
If not, then i would recommend doing the orgo questions in destroyer, the gen-chem review in KBB and read as much of cliffs as you can.

Post exactly what materials you've been using for prep and your daily routine. Not trying to sound grim but with those practice scores it appears as though you might need to review more if you're looking to score a 20+ on your test.

Well I was doin poorly on the Achiever tests too about an 16 TS and my actual TS was an 18, the gchem was much harder on achiver i think I got like a 14 on one of the tests and got a 19 on the actual...But yes Chads videos will help a lot...but I would be a lil worried about the RC because I was getting an 18/19 on achiever tests and ended up with an 18 (piano passage) Just work on your mistakes go over each question you missed it might be a stupid mistake (i had plenty of those) if not then just relearn the material your are weak in! Good luck!!

Well, so far I did the Kaplan online which I thought it was a waste of time. Did Destroyer, Achiever, and now Topscore. Also, got the Crack the Math and Perceptual. But like I said, after I check my exams; it's all stupid mistakes. So I don't know what's going on!
