I'm sure there is something related to this somewhere but I just can't find it, but, what are peoples acethedat.com averages in comparison to the real thing?

I'm too embarrassed to mention my scores. But I would like a realisitic idea, you know, of where I stand. I am scheduled on Oct. 15. Thanks.

I only used acethedat.com for PAT sections. The science sections are full of errors.

AcetheDAT is also really good for the Math sections.

Charmstot is right. Their math sections are good too.

i definitely wouldn't rely on acethedat.com for an accurate representation of what you real scores would be..use topscore, it's excellent and will familiarize you with the layout of the exam very well..almost everyone that has posted their scores on here (including myself) did better on the real thing than on practice exams anyway!

Thanks. I'll use that info.

never really used it....but so many people have told me to use it as practice for the PAT ONLY!!!

I wish you the best of luck.

I would highly recommend you also looking at the math section!! Believe me if you do, you will thank me for this advice. I followed someone's advice to practice acethedat math section and I did ALL their problems a day before the test. What I really liked is that they explained how to work out the problems. On test day, SEVERAL of my questions were almost identical with this test format. I'm sure if I hadn't practiced acethedat math a day before I would have gotten a much lower score. I can almost guarantee it. Now, I've been very critical of acethedat when it comes to the sciences as it stinks and it's full of errors, but I do strongly believe that the PAT and the math sections are a very good representation of the real thing. Good luck!

Thanks. Now I don't know if I should've dished out the 50 bucks. I'll take the advice though.

albuquerquegirl, there are many people here that have posted low scores. i think people on here would only help guiding you on how to improve on a particular subject or subjects.

regarding acethedat, i think i speak for everyone here when i say that it sucks huge elephant nads! the pat is the only thing i used it for, and i think it was very close to the pat on the actual DAT. the science is full of so many friggin errors (i've gotten 30 bucks back from those guys so far by taking advantage of the 'error free guarantee' 😀 ). like someone else said, use acethedat for the pat and the math portion. i'm sure by concentrating on your weaknesses, you'll kick ass when you take the actual test. good luck in your studies. 👍

I have only taken the practice tests on the acethedat. I will post my real scores when they come out though.
Thanks for the encouragement.
