Don't freak out just yet... Honestly, I really don't think its going to get you an estimated real DAT score... Just keep doing the questions over and over again and try to simulate the real exam... Just from my experience, you should get a higher DAT score than the score you got from the achiever. One thing for sure, they are really good in prepping for the PAT...

Don't worry about the PAT too much. I got a 16 on all three of my Achiever PAT tests, and ended up getting a 19 on the real thing.
As for the science section, I know for sure that Achiever is definitely harder than the real thing, at least it was for me. I got around 17-18 on Achiever and got a 20 Total science on the real test.
I hope this helps!!

dont worry and just keep working hard...keep using the achiever even though I found it far from representative of the real thing. The PAT on achiever is ridiculous...I averaged 16 and got a 21. If you use it as the tool its meant for, you'll be thankful during the real exam when it seems so much easier... its super hard for a reason. My AA and TS were also 4 points higher than my achiever averages. Stay positive and confident in yourself!!!!

Stay calm. If anything, you can use your energy to study up some more, but a number is just a number.
