OAT sample test vs. real thing

Hey everyone, so I took the OAT sample test that they provide today. I did pretty well which really excites me. However, for those of you who have already taken both, what did you think of the sample test vs. the real test? I'm curious as to if I should expect the real test to be pretty similar or harder.

Side note, I've taken multiple other tests and that I think were way harder than this sample test so should I expect something closer to those?

Thanks!

It's pretty similar. I think the QR was harder (had alot of word problems). Other than that its comparable.

is the sample test the practice OAT on the ADA?

I took that one as well and its not too bad, but its also shorter than the actual test. There isn't a full reading comp section on it. Is that the one you guys are talking about?

Yeah, that's the one I'm referring to.

do you know if there is a site where the answers are explained in detail? I'm trying to learn from my mistakes and looking at an answer key is not the most helpful way
