If nothing out there really compares to the real PAT, how do you prepare for it? Do you just practice as much as you can with all the materials you can and hope that the real PAT isn't too rough?

Sure there is who said there is nothing that really compares to the real PAT, the topscore and barrons are good examples of what its like on the real DAT. Get Barrons for practice, Topscore for real as you can get test taking experience. gluck

Try Ace the Dat. I have not ordered it yet because I take the DAT this summer. However, it seems to be as discussed in this forum the hardest, close prep material available. With Kaplan and Topscore, the average is a 2-3 point drop from the real DAT. I have a friend that used it and he scored the same average on Ace the Dat and the real PAT. Good luck!

Practice is the mother of perfection. Put your hands on as much of PAT material as you can. TopScore would be the best material to study for PAT. Kaplan book is another good source as well. 👍

The real DAT is always a little more confusing than your practice. Make sure that you are taking the test in a center that has good computer monitors because some center they got the crapy monitors that you can see shhhitt. To do PAT successfully one need to have a great deal of concentration. There is no formula or certain procedure. I believe that some usually have an easier time and some just cant do it. So concentration and just try to apply your special side of the brain that is for imagination and stuff.

lot of practice is good, but too much you loose interest because it is hella boring so do it once in a while when you have the energy and focus
