I just took the first achiever test today, well only the science section and my TS came out 18. Looking at what people said 18 is good on achiever so i was happy about that. i felt achiever was pretty straight forward and nothing was really tricky. there were some problems that i was just not 100% sure. hopefully couple of weeks of studying improve my scores. what do you think of the achiever?

 

[Zakl]

never had it, maybe i should have used it because people who score pretty high used it

👍 you will get above a 21, achiever is more difficult than the real DAT.

i like achiever because it freaks you out a bit and pushes you to study more. most of my ts and aa scores on achiever were around 18-19

RC on achiever really hard or was it just me?
RC is probably my worst section, the only way I know how to prepare for it is to do kaplan achiever and topscorer. I am not a big fan of this section and on achiever it was really difficult for me. Got a 15 🙁 how is RC on the real DAT?

You're better off than me. I took the first achiever test and got a 16 TS. This score made me study harder.......As I should be doing right now

I got 15's on TS and 13-15 RC on achiever.

Got 19's on DAT though for RC and TS...

Does the new DAT achiever includes calculator for math section?

 

[i4everpaki]

no it does not. the calculator would make 50% of problems so much easier.

Achiever RC is ******ED hard. or i was just really tired today.

I got over 20's on topscore tests but 16 on the first Achiever test

achiever's first reading test FREAKED ME OUT.

I got 15 on it. It is very difficult. Do not trust achiever's RC to be representative of the real DAT.



On the other hand, I did not really find achiever's sciences to be very hard. It seemed to have the standard difficulty any test should have. It was VERY straightforward, unlike Topscore, which has very ambiguous questions. Perhaps that means I am very prepared for the natural science section 😛

I was about to get perfect on genchem if not for misreading that ideal gas question :X

The achiever was far more difficult than the actual exam. It was useless to me.
