hey guys did anybody find the barrons version of the RC ridiculous?
i didnt not have time to do all the questions in 1 hr!
and the paragraphs are so fat that im overwhelmed by it!
is the actual DAT broken up into smaller paragraphs?

is the topscore pro a better representation of the RC on the actual DAT?

I personally thought that TopScore RC was way too easy compared to real DAT RC, and Achiever's RC was a little bit on the harder side than the real DAT.

I guess somewhere in between!

barron's dat is horrible at everything - full of mistakes, no correct answers on model examinations, less than bare minimum on explainations.

well i just came across this quote from another thread on here so it is somewhat relieving:

"The barron reading comprehension section is a lot harder than the real DAT. You should try topscore, kaplan and DAT achiever. The difficulty of those are closer to the real DAT"


I guess barron's is good to keep you challenged. But in terms of being a good representative.. in the words of da Nappy Roots- "Aw naw, hell no!"
