Is QR on DAT more like Kaplan's or Barron's QR practice tests?

I took a practice test for QR in the Kaplan book and got a 16. Then, I took two practice tests in Barrons and scored 21 and 22. There was a huge difference to me. Which one would everyone in here think is more realistic to the real DAT: Kaplan or Barron?

kaplan might be slightly harder, but I think topscore represents this section the best...

Conceptually, Kaplan is about the same. However, the numbers they use in the problems are much much harder. On the real dat you won't work with decimial Division nearly as much, though you will see some. I also agree here - Topscore pretty much mirrors the QR section.

in my opinion the barrons was the closest to the real one.

I disagree completely. I think that both Kaplan and Barons are not even close to the real DAT. The exams in TopScore are. In Top Score, you will a good amount of info that was not covered in either books. My suggestion, is to take a look at a study guide for the math portion of the GRE
