anyone else do these? a friend emailed them to me. they're in crappy pdf files and a little tough to discern but still pretty helpful. i ripped the sciences apart..mostly raw scores of 20-23 and then achiever busted me down to size with 17s and 18s. topscore around 18s to 20s.

im planning on taking the DATs in about a week..still rattled over here. i just bought schaums bio and cliffs AP and plan on rereading kaplan organic and my old chem textbook.

Achiever busted me down to around a 18 too. PAT was so hard! I found math okay, but then again it is by far my weakest area on the DAT. I started off, no joke, getting 10s-12s on practice tests. Now I'm up to 18-19 on practice (got a 21 once, lucky guess here and there maybe🙂 .) But I went over achiever and looked up everything in the problems I didn't know and for QR I just ran through the problem to figure out the logic involved.

I dunno how I got off topic but anyway, 80's DAT would be an amusing thing to take after the real DAT just for fun ( or maybe masochism 😵?) to see how much the test has or hasn't evolved.

the one from 80s isn't it the one offer by the ada website?

no..the ada released some of the old exams from 81' 85' 88' and 90'. they were scanned pretty crappily though and most of the sections are not in the correct order

most of the sections are not in the correct order

or more likely, it used to be a different format that it is today

Actually, I thought the exam on the ADA website was from like 99' or 2000. At least I think that I read that somewhere on the site. I may be wrong.
