Bought the 7-test package and did one yesterday and one today..

Achiever 1:
Bio/GC/OC/RC/QR/PAT
19/19/20/16/23/21

Achiever 2:
Bio/GC/OC/RC/QR/PAT
17/19/18/15/21/21

Alright... Anyone else having trouble with RC?
I'm dying doing RC on Achiever...
Really scared now. I've been scoring 19~21 on CDR, but 15... on ACHIEVER...?!
Seriously considering changing my method.
However, it's ridiculous how the passages on Achiever have 13 paragraphs at least.
Some passages have like 17!
Science on Achiever is pretty random too.. Some so random that I don't bother re-studying that material since I'm pretty sure it won't be on the DAT.
Oh, and PAT is ridiculously hard. Angle = ridiculously easy compared to CDP, but I'm doing TERRIBLE on TFE and pattern folding.
Achiever is discouraging me especially since I am aiming for 23+ on the DAT.
I'm taking mine on the 26th, so roughly 2 weeks left...

Okay, that was my rant for the day. I'm going to fall asleep watching korean dramas.
Good night everyone!

p.s. Anyone else getting sick of the guy who pops up every time you open Achiever?
I wonder who he is...

dude i feel your pain. Achiever RC is smacking me around. Seriously, the passages better not be that long on the real DAT. It's painful.

I almost cried after finishing the first one and the second one made me want to die while I was actually taking it 😀
I also finished first two and my result was pretty much the same as yours. I read a thread saying that 3rd and 4th are even harder... so I guess we better get ready for that 😎
p.s. Personally, I think achiever PAT (except angle) was a better excercise. I've done CDP but after like five tests, I got so used to its routine and didn't feel like it actually helped me...

Achiever 4 is harder than 1,2, and 3, and Achiever 5 is even more difficult than 4.

Godfrey reading has 20~25 paragraphs, but achiever RC's 13~17 paragraph long passages are harder in my opinion. I scored 15~19 on Godfrey while scoring 14~16 on Achiever RC. I also score 19~22 on CDR.
