How did your average Crack PAT score compare with real one?

I have 3 weeks to go. I did the 10th Crack PAT and got a 20. I ran out of time because of an illusion like cube counting problem....so I had about 4 pattern folding questions that I had to guess on.
My highest score so far is 21 and I seem to hover around 20.

I scored a 18, 19, 19, 20, 19, 21, 22, 21, 22, 21 on crack pat

I scored a 24 on PAT for real DAT.

CrackPAT prepared me very well

 

[mmmsteakdinners]

I averaged 23 on CDP and got a 22 on real thing

 

[silverdezz]

I am on the same boat. My highest is only 20...

I am having a LOT trouble in angles (I am getting only 40%)

How did you guys do it. What method did you use.... I feel so sad 🙁

I got 22-25 with 2 or 3 25. Real dat i got 24. You should really try to use achiever pat because the real dat has lots of emphasis on proportion for the keyhole and tfe rather than looking for the differences. I thought crackpat tfe and keyhole wasnt as good as a representation to the real dat

My scores ranged from 18 to 21 ( once). On the real one, i ended up getting 22. I thought crack PAT was on the target and achiever was too difficult.

I did 6 tests and averaged around 24. I got 26 on the real one. I thought test 5 was the most representative, as I got 26 on that one too

Averaged a 25 on the 10 CDP tests, got a 22 on the real one.
I was never good with keyholes and, go figure, that was the hardest section on my real DAT. I honestly feel that TFE is WAY too easy on CDP bc line counting works almost every time, however, on the real thing it never worked. I would recommend achiever for PAT, I know everyone says it's much harder than the real thing but why not practice something thats harder to better prepare for something thats easier. IMO I would spend more time on achiever PAT (especially keyholes and TFE), if you have it.
(angles, cubes, and pattern folding--CDP is a good representation)

 

[Msmouth]

Can you get Achiever just for PAT?

 

[dent4]

No, they just offer the 3,5, or 7 test version.
If you already have a bunch of practice tests then forget it bc achiever is kind of pricey but I would recommend it. I had an 18, 20, 22 on achiever PAT and got a 22 on the real one. CDP obviously is good practice but I don't feel its a good representation of the real thing. To me, all there sections are fairly easy whereas on the real one 4 were very similar to CDP (angles, hole punches, cubes, and pattern folding) and 2 were harder (keyholes, TFE). It is different for every test tho, some sections will be harder than others it's just the luck of the draw. I happened to be terrible at keyholes, which seemed to be impossible on the real thing.
Best of luck!

I averaged 21 to 22 on CDP and got an 18 on the real deal...

Kinda bummed. My PAT was much harder than CDP.

Same here. I never got below 20 on the last 5 CDP and scored 18 on the real thing. I thought keyholes were so much harder on the real thing. Nothing like Crack to me at all.

For me, my real DAT score was on par with what I use to get on the Crack PAT practice exams.

 

[Dentalman11]

CrackDAT PAT AVG: 21.38
Real DAT: 26

I would get achiever just for PAT if you don't want to be screwed over by "the luck of the draw".

From all the breakdowns I've read saying real PAT was much harder than CDP, their descriptions all seemed to say keyholes were more about proportions and TFE did not work with line counting.

After having taken 4 achiever tests, it seemed to correspond with my results (I get about half right on keyholes and TFE on achiever, but never under 13/15 on CDP).

EDIT: Got 17/18/18 on achiever PAT, got 25/20/20/22/25 on CDP.

On CDP my scores ranged from 20 to 24 for all 10 tests. I got a 2X on the real thing. I think it was a good representation of the test.

However I did buy Achiever so I can bring that score up on my retake.

 

[dent4]

blake1e your scores are very good, do you mind me asking why you're retaking?
Seems to me you did very well!

 

[II H5 II]

I got 20, 20, 20, 20 on CDP then got a 24 on the real thing. The real PAT was way easier especially pattern folding. Idk if that applies to everybody's tests though.

 

[Dsan989]

Real dat is pretty much harder than crackpat in every section except cube counting and maybe angles

Achiever was the best investment I have made in my DAT prep personally. And, I have legitmately bought everything on the market (qvault, Kaplan prep course, Chad's videos, destroyer all sections, barron's ap, cliff's ap bio). rofl Achiever legitimately made the PAT click for me. Their explantations are extremely helpful. I score around 24-26 on all of the crack the PATs, can't break 23 on achiever but hey I'm not complaining. I would suggest getting achiever if you have a month plus to prepare because the low scores you get with it seriously messes with your mind lmao
