My DAT is on thursday. I took the last DAT Achiever today and only scored a 14 in both gen chem and bio! The other dat achiever exams have been around the same area. How does achiever compare to the real? Seeing those scores im worried that I'm not fully prepared for the real dat. Should I postpone?
Should I postpone the DAT?!

Please , postpone. Although, the DAT Archiever is harder than the real DAT, I think you are not ready to take the DAT. I think scoring over 15, you could say you are ready to take it. Postpone and take your time to go over answers you got wrong and try to understand the concept. Why the rush?
Hope that helped

have you tried topscore? how'd you do on that? I was doing worse and worse with each of my dat acheiver exams.. I scored some 14s and 13s too. a week before my exam...talk about stress!!
But I think you'll know if you're ready or not. You should be able to look at some topics covered in review books, and start spitting out info about it. Or when you see any practice exam topics and can name off some key terms and functions. If you can't do this, then postpone and keep studying until you feel confident! good luck!

Yeah, definitely aim for 15's or higher on DAT Achiever. If you are hitting 16's or higher, then you will score 19+ on the real DAT test. DAT Achiever is notoriously hard, but it will prepare you to the max. You will be surprised at how scoring 14-17 on DAT Achiever translates to 19's, 20's, and even higher on the real thing. Keep studying - you are almost there.

Yeah, I just took my first DAT Achiever Science, and my test is on Tuesday (3 days from now!!). I scored above 15's but I have to say I can see a 14 being a 18 on the real DAT. The questions from Biology are INSANE! I don't really think it will go that in depth on the real DAT Biology. The Gen Chem was easy on DAT achiever, and the OChem was alright. So if I had 14s, I would see why I missed the questions. Because if you had no idea what the question was asking then you should probably postpone it.
