How did you see your pace change on real DAT?

Hey guys,

My test is this week so best of luck to everyone in the same boat as me. I was just curious how people thought their pacing of the questions differed (if at all) versus when they were taking practice tests like TopScore, CrackDAT, Bootcamp, Achiever, etc. Because as of now I get almost no extra time when I'm doing Achiever. I get a few extra minutes with Bootcamp.

From what I've read, most people say the DAT is easier (at least than Achiever and certain parts of Bootcamp). Does that mean you noticed yourselves going through questions faster?

This is a good question. My test is this week too. I have almost no time left with Achiever as well.

Well I think my science part was pretty similar to the practice tests, I was faster in QR and PAT and slower in RC. I used topscore and ADA DAT 2007 and ADA DAT 2009 as my full practice tests. I ALWAYS had time issue in the reading part.

Good luck man. We can both see the finish line haha

Thanks for the feedback, Dark Blue. Congrats on the scores! If anyone else would be willing to add their experience, it would be most appreciated

I always had time left over in my practice tests. I never took a full science section though. On the real thing, I had about 30 minutes to go over all my answers...and luckily ended up changing 2 questions that I got wrong the first time around. I didnt use topscore/achiever, but if you have time left over on QVault or Bootcamp, then you will have plenty of time to go over your answers.
