Kaplan Book vs. Real DAT

[jetjesse]

Ok, I know this is kind of a ditto question, but I need some input since my DAT is next week...

For those who have taken the DAT and studied with the KAPLAN book (the one from the book store, not the course), how did your natural science practice scores correlate with your actual scores?

I am scoring a lot lower on the sciences then I thought I would and am worried...
Thanks again.

I scored 3-4 points higher on the actual bio section on the real dat than the kaplan cd

i scored like 5-6 points higher on ochem on the real test that on the cd

i scored 1-2 points higher on the chem DAT than on the kaplan practice test

HOWEVER, as other have said. some people might do worse on the real test than the kaplan cd.

I scored 17 and 18s on Kaplan. and between 17 and 21 on actual DAT. Never use Kaplan as an indicator of your score, because you will study the questions you got wrong on Kaplan and your score can be much higher on actual DAT, hopefully.
