Barron's DAT study guide is good for PAT practice/strategies.
M&M&M said:Also looking for full length DAT practice tests.
Barron's has 2 practice exams in the back; Kaplan (blue blook) has at least 1; Top Score DAT software has 3 full length computer-simulated DATs.
Hope this helps.

/agree Baron's has good PAT but that's the only thing you should read from that book. Completely forget the sciences and math from that book, they don't go into anywhere near enough detail.
This post might get better results on the DAT forum though 🙂

Not really. Hardly anyone goes there.
I did Topscore and Kaplan practice tests before doing my first DAT exam but still ended up with a 16 on the PAT part. I ran out of time big time.

I had similar fate like you using Kaplan and Topscore when I took my first DAT. Barron might be good with basic strategies to build your foundation for the PAT, but it is after all a set of paper based sample tests, which may not adequately prepare you for the real things still.
It's DAT Achiever that eventually pulled up my score on the PAT from 17 to 20 on my second DAT, not to mention that its other sections especially the sciences and the maths had likewise been benefiting me with the mostly challenging questions and great explanations found there.
Here's the link where you may downlaod the program just in case you have no idea where to get it from:

I used Kaplan and scored very high.
