You won't. That's great you are doing great. Good luck

you will do AMAZING on the real test. TOPSCORE tests don't baby you. I got a 16 average on TOpscore tests and ended up with 23 on the real thing. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Just be confident and alert especially on the PAT... in my experience, the first answer that jump out at you in the PAT is usually the wrong one.

Can't wait to see you posts 20+ scores across the board after you take the test on SATurday.

GOod luck...!!!!!!!!!!! (not that you will need it!)

You won't, TOPscore from what I've heard is always tougher by a few points than the DAT. However, their Bio might be pretty close to the actuall DAT.

good luck, keep us updated.

i hope that's my case. i've been getting 15s and 16s and feeling like an absolute idiot. lots of stupid mistakes, but no excuses for organic. i flat out stink at ochem. 10 days left to try and conquer this thing......

Same here. I'm one of those people who thought that I was pretty smart and after actually sitting down to "study" for this thing and seeing 16's on the score I was really hurting. I felt like a loser, like maybe I shouldn't go for dentistry after all. But on the other hand, I'm one of those people who have to see things to completion so I went on and did my best. Actually got a 29 for general chem which is a long way from a 16 on Topscore.

The one Topscore score that mirrors my real DAT score was the QR, I actually got a 16 on the real DAT. A real bummer.

I almost postpone my dAT test date but I talked to a friend and he convinced me that practice tests are usually harder than the real thing.

Study until you're confident about the material and use the practice tests as ways to build test stamina.

Good luck.

purduephigam: turn into a freak for the next 10 days. forget about sleep, food, personal hygiene-leave that for the communications majors. eat, sleep, breathe DAT.

Just like blue_moon01 mentioned, be careful with the PAT. I took my DAT this tuesday and I thought the PAT was so easy that I was going to get around a 23 after going through Achiever questions. But I actually got a 19. As for the day before the test, just relax and don't study at all maybe except for little tid bits that keeps you worried. Doing this allowed me to remain calm and forget that I have the test tomorrow. Anyways good luck.

thanks for the advice. freak-mode has definately taken effect, although i need to stay fresh otherwise i start to slip and make stupid mistakes. by fresh i mean staying well-rested, and as stress free as possible. i need to focus on a balance so that i don't feel overwhelmed. so far, so good....
