the screen shots are from ancient times, when man first ventured out of his cave

I was all pumped ready to take my first test when I saw they wanted a license key (then why ask people not to make copies or ask people to be on the honor system and that thats the reason we get the software so cheap?), I saw manual and internet verify buttons, internet one wanted the license key your email and number, I went to my email and saw I did not have one, saw some other numbers like product number and tried plugging in with error messages popping up, here I am worried about my performance and now I have to go over to their website, which looks unorganized and old, like their software, I go to the self help, and it told me to do what I already had, "check your receipt", so I emailed them, the only good thing was that they responded (and quickly) on a sunday, but the person threw in "here it is....we already did send it" and no...they didn't, but whatever, I calmed down made the changes necessary, hiding my start menu and changed display to 800 by 600, I click on start test and go through the bio section next thing I know after the 40 questions...its done, I get really annoyed and start looking around to find that they make you select the sections as "bio" "chem" etc, I did end up not seeing "complete DAT" the first time I checked (which was after I had done the first bio section), and thought this was just how the program was, that was my fault but they really should set it as default, people who actually want to take different sections seperatly should have to go in and manual select, not people who bought the software to take full length tests, because of my clicking around my bio score appeared 3 times on my overall "report" I'm wondering if my ts and aa include the two extra bio's plus one extra gen chem sections in my ts score, it wont let me delete them individually...so I'll never know, damn this is annoying, there is a lot of money to be made here for someone who can come up with decent software, this guy must be laughing all the way to the bank charging people 50 bucks a pop for this, it could be some dude at home printing the same old thing he made in 1999 thousands of times, its a really sweet deal in life....for him.👎

I'm going to use the software though, don't get me wrong, I'm just venting from an annoying morning, but a bigger point is that there really is nowhere else to go when most people in the forum say its the most similar to the real thing, one thing I would like to know is if on the PAT section of the actual DAT, if the objects are nice and clean cut like on crack the PAT, or crappy old and not to scale..like on topscore, thanks.

LOL!!!!

Thanks for the laughs. It definitely feels like I rewinded to my early years when I had a Tandy (any one remember those?), but it's supposedly a good measure of your knowledge levels.
