Hi All -
For those of you who took the Kaplan class and took the DAT: How do you feel the Kaplan practice exams compared to the actual DAT. I know they offer 4 or 5 of them (haven't done them all yet), but I want to know if I should buy Topscore if people feel Kaplan's are inadequate. Please let me know, thanks! 🙂

I haven't, but based off of the experience of several of the predental club members at my school, it is fairly normal for a 20 or 21 on Kaplan to turn into an 18 on the actual DAT.
