TopScore question

Don't worry, I'm not going to ask if Top Score is harder than the real DAT. I do have a question about its difficulty though. I remember someone posting that the 3 tests get increasingly difficult. Is that just one person's opinion, or is there a large consensus that agrees on this? I take my DAT this friday and I'm trying to judge whether I'm making progress or not.

Here are my scores:
Topscore 1-----2-----3
Bio-----17----15----17
Chem--18----18----19
Ochem-18----19----25
PA------22----24----23
RC------25----22---NA
QR-----18----18----NA

NA means I havn't taken it yet.

I took 1 and 2 within a few days of each other about a week or so ago, and i took the parts of 3 today.

If these tests are not getting harder, that means I'm not improving that much, except orgo really. I just wanted to see what other people thought. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but its what I asked for. I am a little concerned about Bio now. A large portion in between TS 1/2 and 3 were dedicated to it, and I didn't see that much improvement. I guess part of it could be those dumb questions that would never in a million years come up on the DAT, like which of these parasites can't you get from drinking water 😕 . Anyway, I took TS 3 QR last night and got a 21, so I'm improving in that. I've got a couple days, I'll try to make the most out of it. Thanks again

You seem ready. Solid scores from Topscore. Just keep studying the bio section. I thought that was the most difficult on the DAT (got a 20) and for me, my Topscore in the Bio closely reflected my actual DAT score.

Scott, check PM

Thank drat, I just checked it and replied. So I finished the rest of topscore 3 and got a 25 in RC and a 21 in QR, so both of those are up from the previous test. I'm feeling a better about it now. Thanks again
