I just took the full Topscore Test 1 DAT and these are my scores:
Bio 18 (75 % correct)
Chem 19 (80 %)
Orgo 20 (84%)
PA 21 (82%)
QR 20 (72 %)
RC 21 (84 %)
TS 19 (79%)
AA 20 (79%)

Based on these scores, what are your insights/feedback?...
If you were in my shoes, and I plan to study for about 8 hours a day for X amount of days... when should I plan on taking the actual DAT? How much more studying do I need?

next available date. I found topscore a little harder in the sciences and irrelevant everywhere else. science scores are good and based on that you're ready to go.

Also, how do you review the correct answers on Topscore? What is the most effective way of checking the questions you got wrong?
All I see is the pdf (12 pages) of wrong and right choices.
Thanks

what you do is you just load up the test again.

make sure under "options" you choose the correct test number. You can even focus on just seeing exactly which areas you like. Also uncheck timer.

then apply -> ok then start test session.

your answers choices from before are saved. you just click on solution and it'll tell you the correct answer.

thanks, i checked it out... so i am ready to take the DAT asap based on the scores I got? because you went up from your first topscore test to the actual DAT.... how many days did you study between the first topscore test 1 and the actual DAT?
I really want to get 22+ on the actual DAT....

people usually get +1 or +2 compared to topscore on the real DAT, but it really depends on the person.'

I got a 21/20 on my topscore1 and achiever1, but still do not feel I am completely ready, so I am using the next 2.5 weeks to study, might extend my test date a little more to hammer in Bio

I took topscore (Ts) 1 on a Saturday, Ts 2 Monday, Ts 3 Tuesday, ADA sample Wednesday, actual DAT Thursday. They weren't major study days, just reviewed things that I missed from the tests, went thru kaplan flash cards, did my last CDP test, and some destroyer problems on those days.

I didn't take a full rest day before the DAT because I never felt burnt-out. I was feeling super stressed until I took topscore.

How do you go over the questions after taking the topscore test?
how do you check your mistakes? i know for the sciences you click Solutoins... what about PAT part?
