So I know both Topscore and Achiever are harder than the DAT...but which one is more similar for the sciences??

I feel like Topscore will be more similar, while Achiever is just out of this world. Seriously is Achiever science even similar to DAT?

Can you post your topscore and achiever scores plz?

Glad to know that Achiever is harder than actual thing. I was so shocked when I got a 17 on the PAT #1 on achiever, I had gotten ~20 on CDP (some of the questions I got recycled since I used "random test" before) and 21 on the PAT from the sample DAT from the ADA.

For Acheiver I got about + 5-7 on the real DAT. For Topscore I got about + 3-4 on the real DAT.

i actually ended up scoring better on the real thing than topscore&achiever but i think both were pretty good for practice...
i used achiever to jump start my studying cause it'll really let you know which areas you're lacking.. then i used topscore to get some confidence before the test... i spaced them apart and took the 3 topscore tests about 2 weeks before the test.. i think something like 2 weeks before, 8-9 days before, and 3-5 days before..
i felt like some of the DAT questions were somewhat tricky and required you to think like achiever problems... i think topscore qs are more straightforward... to feel relaxed&confident during the test i think you should be able to do the achiever probs pretty well...

achiever is seriously hard ... much harder than the actual DAT imo. I used achiever as a way to practice the timing of the test more than anything else. its great for timing the RC, QR, and PAT sections. overall it prepares you for the testing environment and the support staff is extremely helpful and respond to emails very quickly.
