Hi Everyone,
I have been doing a good job of following DentalWorks' study plan for the last month (Despite having a full time job as lawyer and other distractions). I am practically done with my first comprehensive review of everything (Watched all of Chad's videos/quizzes on GC, OC, and QR; almost completely finished with Cliff's Bio and the Bio portion of the KBB; reviewed the QR portion of KBB, etc.).

I have 5 weeks to go and plan on using this time to do all DAT Destroyer/Math Destroyer, CDP tests, and review material that I need to work on. I am also thinking about getting TopScore or Achiever for my last 2 weeks. If I were to decide between one or the other, what would you say is better? Is there anything else I should be doing besides DAT Destroyer/Math Destroyer/CDP and review these last weeks? Also, I am taking the final 4 weeks off from work. I take my test on May 4th.
Any help appreciated!

I didn't use TopScore at all, so I'd recommend Achiever. It's far more difficult than the real exam, but their PAT will help improve your score for sure. IMO, CDP was way too easy for PAT.

How did Achiever QR compare to actual DAT?

Great scores by the way!

Achiever QR was tougher than DAT. Math Destroyer is the best recommendation for DAT QR, it's the most similar, and has better explanations than Achiever IMO.

Achiever BIO is solid, Achiever GC is a bit absurd with it's calculations, Achiever OC is slightly tougher. PAT is invaluable for the real DAT. If you can score well on Achiever, you're set for the real PAT. Achiever RC is bit ridiculous too, but the questions are similar to what you'll see on the real thing. Real one has a bit easier questions, but the questions are similar. Achiever passages are far longer too. But it's great practice. I used it to time different strategies and see what one worked the best.
