This thread will help with your question. I just bought the OAT Achiever today as well. Is it just the 3 full-length tests and answer solutions to those? Or are there practice sections as well?
I can only use the mouse to click on Achiever's calculator buttons, but not with the numeric keypad. Is that how it would work at the testing center?
You can't type any number on the real thing just like Achiever. Also, the calculator at the testing center is lagging in speed and responsiveness for any button you're trying to click on.
Could this not be reported to your testing facility? I would think that's hindering your performance more than benefiting..
The Kaplan calculator does not have a sqrt function whereas Achiever's does. Is this available on the actual test or is it not?
There has been no report from the OAT admin that they would be increasing the difficulty of the math section.
IMO, math section was similar to SAT math.

It wouldn't do much to ease out these glitches, although I would think that many have filed their complaints (calculator and other problems) to the testing centers.
Word of advice: Don't ever complain about this during the tests on the big day. The proctors would ask you to stand outside the room for about 10 minutes while performing their standard (useless) protocols that would not freeze the timer.
