i am currently studying to retake the DAT and using topscore.

The first time i studied and took the DAT i was getting 18 on all of my RC sections and got an 18 RC on the real DAT as well.

So far i've done 2 topscore test and have gotten 21 on both. Is topscore RC easier or have i just improved???
 
I thought topscore RC was easier than the real DAT because most of the questions can be answered by S&D. However, on the real thing, there might be more tone/inference questions. On my test though, I got lucky and had only one or two tone questions, so I think it depends on which test you get.
 
i would say topscore was much easier than my actual dat rc! it seemed like about half of my questions were tone/inference or had two parts to it that were in different parts in the passage...but topscore is good practice anyway!
