Hey guys,
I just got done with my Crack PAT and it seems like I didn't do so well in the beginning, and on the last few test, I've been doing a lot better. Is the crack pat formulated in that fashion so that you start out with the harder ones and finish with the easier version test? I'm i being cheated or given false hope or am I actually getting better? Please tell me the later...haha

For those who have taken used Crack pat and have taken the real thing, what was your score differnces. Is the last Crack pat test versions giving me a accurate measure of how I will do on the real test? Man, tell me the truth, b/c i don't mind expecting low scores and getting higer scores than expected, but when it's the other way around...i get mad.

Some are easier than others. And the difference is obvious, but if the trend was obvious like the last 3 were high then you have improved.

I don't know why, but I've been taking the tests last one first. I hope they don't get harder for me. I've been happy with my scores!

whether or not its easy or hard isn't the deal when studying with CDP I dont think. It's a tool for you to get practice and timing down. If you have the techniques down and do relatively well on their tests, then youre good to go.

OK...so it was a fluke...I'm not that good...

20/23 people got a score that was +/- 1 point within that of their average Crack score. Sounds pretty reliable to me...

Adizzle, you're playing with my feelings...haha
That thread is way too positive about the Crack PAT vs. the real test score...All I can do is hope the DAT God finds favor in me on test day.

911, you're selling yourself short. For whatever reason those select 3 individuals did worse on the actual PAT, there are 20 others who did about the same if not better. Just stay focused, ignore those who say that practicing is useless because they are most likely just bitter, and take it one question at a time.

Man, I'm doing Achiever and I scored like
PAT 16
Bio 17
Gchem 16
Ochem 17

I know people say Achiever is a lot harder than the real test, but I'm freaking out! Even if I do better on the real test, how much points can a person really jump? may 2 points per section...at the most?! YIKES!! this is why people advise you not to take practice test the week before the exam...2 day before the exam in my case...haha Oh well, I guess I've got to put my big girl panties on and just do the best I can.

Nah man, people jump up A LOT. *just realized not a man, but continues anyway*
20s on achiever = 25+ that sums it up.

CDP is a pretty acurate representation of how you will do oin the real thing. If you are getting mid twenties on CDP then you will get about that on the real thing The average of the last three CDP tests that I took was .66 points below my actual score.
