What do you guys think of retaking old practice tests? Obviously the scores should be higher because you've seen the questions before. Should I review materials or retake all the tests for the last 3 weeks leading to my DAT? Thanks.

I would say re-taking old tests probably isn't a bad idea if you didn't perform particularly well on them because then you can see if you've made some progress.

i have mixed feelings about this. i took my topscore 1 test about a week, week and a half ago, went through the answers afterwards to go over what i got wrong. i just retook it (the science portion) yesterday, and at least in bio i got 40/40 because i remembered what the answers were. might be more helpful for the chems?

i was in the same situation when i re-took a practice exam. in the end, (just like yourself) i ended up getting everything right just because i remembered going through the corrections. I decided a better approach for me was to go find and answer new questions related to the topics that i had missed on the practice topscore exam. good luck studying
