Sorry - I tried searching but couldn't find a good list of sources or anything. I was going to go with Crack DAT Reading (along with PAT) but I'm reading that it's not that in-line with the real DAT. I have Kaplan KBB which I'll use and I also plan on purchasing TopScore but I want to save those for actual full-length practice tests I want to take. I know people recommend reading boring scientific articles too to get used to it, which I will be doing, but I want something with questions. Sooooo any other sources you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Try Time magazine, NY times, wall street journal, Huffington post or Scientific American. You can get most of them from google currents on the smart phone. Just read a few articles anytime you have a chance. Also a dictinary.com a free app will give you a word of the day and sentences.

I thought CDR was on par in terms of difficulty with the real DAT. I actually scored higher on the real thing than CDR. I'm sure luck has a part in the passages you get, because you might get passages that you find really interesting (which should help a lot with comprehension), maybe you'll get a passage on bacteria in the stomach and you happened to do research on that very subject....

As far as more sources, with questions, you should try Achiever. Personally never used it, but have read that it is harder than the actual thing so it should prepare you well.

G'luck!

Try using the reading section in MCAT prep books. They can be very helpful.
