How closely does a score on the QVault Orgo practice test relate to a score on the actual DAT?

Thanks!
 
Practice tests shouldn't be used as a predictor of your real score, but as a means of assessing weak areas for further review and gauging improvement over time. I'll give you an example with my Qvault test scores vs my actual bio score:

Qvault bio: 27, 25, 30, 25, 25, 25, 27, 27, 30, 25
DAT bio: 30
 
I agree 100 percent, Adam..

"Practice tests shouldn't be used as a predictor of your real score".

IMO, Trying to predict your score on the DAT is a fool's folly(Lack of good sense, understanding, or foresight) more time needs to focused on learning the materials.

I get emails and calls all summer from students who are studying for retakes because they relied on a test result from a timed test to predict their scores. Unfortunately they scored lower.

Also many students using the DAT Destroyer wait too late to get to the book and do not have time to complete it..If you are shooting for big scores, it is highly recommend you complete all the work in the Destroyer.

Hope this helps..Nancy
