How do the practice tests from the 7th ed. of KBB compare to the real DAT? Can't seem to find a solid answer in similar posts... I scored a 20AA on both the practice tests, and i'm wondering if this is a good or bad thing?

I took it 2 weeks before my DAT and got a 24 TS 24 AA and two weeks later I got a 21 TS 21 AA on the real DAT

I've been a lurker, but my understanding from most people's posts is that the KBB isn't as challenging as a test-prep book ought to be to yield comparable or better results on the actual DAT. Most people use the KBB as an overview to understand field-specific weaknesses prior to plodding along to focus on their areas of improvement. That being said, I have certainly seen people who do well with just the KBB (i.e. AA minimum of 20-22).
