Hi guys,

Im taking my DAT in the next 2 weeks and just took the practice test that ADA provides on their website..
here are my scores:
Bio 20
GChem 20
Ochem 19
PAT 18
QR 17
RC 20

how would you say this exam is compared to the actual DAT in terms of difficulty...? i thought it was pretty decent... im also planning on taking the Kaplan Practice tests (online course) as well as topscore..
Any suggestions?
 
yeah. the one on the ADA website seems pretty straitforward. all my friends i spoke to said so, and they scored +or -1 on pretty much all the sections. most of them even got the same TS or AA scores as on the real thing. Deffinately sign up for topscore (don't bother with achiever if you've only got 2 weeks). Kaplan has an immense amount of material and it's pretty basic. If you're not feelign comfortable with the basics then do kaplan, or else i would say skip it. you're not going to learn many 'novel' things from them for the amount of time you're going to have to put in going through all their material. . ..

good luck !!!
 
It is really weird. I got all the Science questions right in practice ADA except 2 bio questions. I also feel that I did not study well enough. I am also wondering if the actual DAT is harder than the practice?
 
ADA sample is too easy compared to the real thing.
i missed 1 bio/gc/oc combined. on the real thing i missed 6 and got 24 TS. but also it was after 10 more days of studying.
what im trying to say is don't overestimate yourself after ADA sample. but it is a good confidence booster.
