Which program is better for RC , or reflects the RC section better on the actual DAT - the DAT achiever or Topscore?

Also could someone break down which is better for what sections?

I believe achiever is very reflective for PAT and Sciences?

what about Topscore?

I only used Topscore so I cannot comment on Achiever, but Topscore's test does not reflect the real DAT's RC. When I used Topscore, I could literally just skim the text then go to the questions and find the answers word for word in the text. The actual DAT also has questions about tone or other questions that rely on inference and actually understanding the essay, not just searching for the exact answer.

Achiever's RC actually simulates better than Topscore's, cuz it carries some inference questions and the passage will reset to the top page each time you click the 'NEXT' button, just like you'd experience for the real RC.
