title says

so far I have been getting these scores on FL 2, 3, and 4:

22, 22, 24 in the last three days.

My strong suits have been reading comprehension and QR maxing out at 26 a piece, Sciences were around 19-24.

I was wondering what the 2014 DAT was like in comparison to these full length practice tests?

I'm taking another one tomorrow (day before my real DAT )

I've heard that the sciences are easier on the real DAT and RC/QR around the same? Not sure what to expect.

Those practice scores are very strong. Have you tried other resources for the PAT? Kaplan DAT exams are a little too easy on their PAT sections, especially when it comes to angle ranking.

kaplan is garbage for pat, you are right.

ive been scoring well on bootcamp, but my last score was a 20 and that's about the lowest i'd want my pat to drip since my dream school has an avg of 21.

stupid keyholes

Don't worry! A score of 20 on DAT bootcamp is very solid. I thought the actual DAT keyholes were much easier and the other sections were about the same.

From the 2007 and 2009 practice exams I've taken, the questions on Kaplan sciences are worded stupidly and their answer choices conflict. My scores jumped up from Kaplan to the 2007 and 2009 exams. I've said this on so many different threads, the Kaplan FLs are only good for getting used to the time constraints and the computer format of the test and nothing else. So expect your scores to go up 2-3 points.

What would you say you were scoring on the Kaplan tests? I have been getting 18 as my AA and 20 as TS and I'm really concerned. My exam is in a week...

I've been getting 18's too. Then on the actual exam my scores jumped like I said. Good luck!
