my last top score was about 5 days before my DAT exam and I got 19 in it...my DAT academic average was 23..so I dont think you should be worried

This is a subjective question. What score are you aiming for? If you want a 20, looks like you are on track. I scored a little higher on my sciences on the real DAT, lower in everything else in comparison to Top Score. I found the real quantitative to be much less forgiving time wise. I had 5 minutes left on Top Score exams, couldn't finish the real one. So, be aware that Top Score isn't always completely representative of that section.

Looks like your PAT is going well. I'd try to find some hole punch practice. I thought Top Score was right on point with all of it except hole punching. Not sure where to find practice ones similar to the DAT, but I know I got some very odd folds that I hadn't seen in top score or Kaplan.

I scored higher on the DAT sciences than Topscore but lower in RC and QR.

My Topscore AA was about the same though.

I scored higher on the DAT sciences than Topscore but lower in math, RC, and QR.

My Topscore AA was about the same though.

+1. I was getting around 22-23 in topscore QR, but it ended up being my lowest score of 19 on the real DAT. Topscore PAT is slightly easy, and their sciences are slightly harder. Looks like you're pretty much there!

The sample ADA will help you.

Same. Better overall score than on Topscore but lower on qr. Rc was the same for me.

Topscore is pretty close to the real thing, except RC (harder!). PAT is also reused on the Topscore so watch out!

wait, r u saying RC is harder on DAT or topscore ? sorry i got confused

 

[dantemac]

RC is harder on the real DAT. Lots more "tone/inference" questions about the author and outside info from the passage. (e.g. what would most likely be included here?)

Yeah, im looking for tone info now

i was straight up bizombing the Topscores ( i think what, 18-19's) and then got a 23AA on the DAT. Dont fret.
