ok so i'm a re-taker, i used TopScore last time and overall i was scoring 18 and 19s, i got an 18 on the real thing. this time i'm going through ALL of destroyer and q-vault, but i want something to simulate a real exam, do you guys think achiever will help me, or will it just make me miserable? i would just re-take the topscores but i feel like i'll remember all the questions and it'll inflate my score too much!

any suggestions would be appreciated 🙂 my test is in 2 weeks 😱
 
Buy Achiever! It helped me so much with PAT. Your scores will be low albeit I scored 18-22 and 24+ on Topscore, but it makes you aware of mistakes. I suggest taking one a day for 7 days and going over your mistakes after. Stimulate the DAT completely with the 15 min break and take them during the time you are actually going to take the DAT. GL

I would do achiever. I only used ONE topscore test, score a 21 AA and only got a 19 on the real thing. I regret not doing more tests.
 
I was low on time and didn't take practice tests(I'd simulate timing with Destroyer and CDP though). However, I'm always a fast test taker so I wasn't really concerned on timing. That said, more tests could have only helped me, so I'd recommend doing as many as possible. I just thought my last week would be more valuable spending a 5 hour block studying rather than taking a test.
