Real dat vs crack the dat & achiever

I know theres a thread for this, but I believe most replies are fairly old. Just wanted to help some people out if possible. I recently took the DAT and I used Crack the PAT and Science along with Achiever (5 test) for testing purposes. Here are my stats:

Crack PAT Average: ~20
Crack Science: anywhere from 16-20

Achiever (5): AA: 15 PAT: 17

REAL DAT: AA: 18 PAT: 20

These stats aren't your usual/incredible stats your use to seeing posted, but nonetheless, they are my stats. They may not be the best, but they're not the worst either and I was just trying to help some people out. I will say to my experience the reading and QC were easier on the REAL DAT.

PS: Hoping my my other stats (gpa, shadowing, work, etc.) help me out.

Thanks for the post, PAT is still giving me headaches. If I could get a 20 like you, I should be pleased.

Take care, and good luck.

No problem just trying to help people out....if your scoring in the 19-22 range consistently, i think you have a good chance of getting a 20...just keep practicing and im sure youll get it

Well I did course saver the videos online for gen chem and Ochem along with QC ...used the ap bio cliffs for bio (my weakest)...and really didn't study for reading and made a 20 on that..I also had the Kaplan book 8th edition I also reviewed with.
I found crack the dat software most useful and similar to the exams opposed to the achiever which in my opinion just helped me get a feel for the timing and pace of the real exam...
