Opinions on DAT Achiever Practice Tests

[BD2014]

I bought 7 of the DAT Achiever practice tests and am not scoring very well. For a few examples, on Crack the DAT Reading I was scoring around 22-23 each time but on DAT Achiever I can't score above an 18. Same for the PAT, on CRACK the PAT I was getting 21's-22's consistently and can't seem to get about an 18-19 on Achiever. My biology is all over the place, which I guess is to be expected since the content is so broad. My quantitative reasoning scores seem to be consistent with all of the study materials. Any advice on how consistent DAT Achiever is to the actual DAT? I took the sample test from the ADA website and scored a 21 in Bio (looking over the correct answers I made stupid judgmental errors), 23 in gen chem, and 22 in ochem as well as a 23 on the PAT but it seemed to be way more basic than Achiever. Opinions please?

you'll be fine dude! the achiever is really hard. omg you're so smart you'll do great on the DAT! Everyone that I talked to told me that achiever is just harder. you'll score like 5 points higher on each section.

Achiever is meant to push you. It is like goku training under 100x gravity. Go to glimmers DAT breakdown compilation, open like 30 tabs, control+F "achiever". That will give you an idea and save you a bunch of time.

Don't let Achiever phase you, it's not a realistic representation of the types of questions you'll be faced with on test day. Take it once in a while to really push yourself, and don't forget to READ THE SOLUTIONS! <-- that's really the only benefit I see to Achiever's tests.
