So I just unlocked Topscore Pro, and the test is only displaying on about 50% of my screen. I do remember reading Topscore's "requirements" document, but this was some time before I even received my key to unlock. The browser history has since been cleared, and the Topscore site is a freaking useless maze. Has anyone else had this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Mine did that too but I didn't bother to fix it, the tests were still do-able 😛
Topscore's customer service was beyond rude to me when I brought up the issue of the lack of answer explanations the PAT/RC (not to mention the fact that the test itself doesn't tell you which questions you missed as you go through it like kaplan/achiever does) so I didn't even want to waste my time with them about the screen issue.
Do the tests (if the program works), they still give you the same benefits 🙂 Just keep in mind the actual DAT is full screen.
 
Yeah, the whole setup seems a bit lazy to me. Would you happen to know if you need a printer hooked up in order to view your scores after the test? I've read some things on their site about it, and recall reading something in their angry unicorn-like document the other day. They make it seem like you need a printer just to view your scores? I don't need to print the things... :\

I didn't have a printer hooked up so I had to go through the "Test Details" and freaking write down all the questions I missed (and the correct answers for the PAT/RC sections since they conveniently don't provide a "Solution" button like they do for SNS and QR). It was time consuming but worth it in the end simply because their problems are, imo, the most similar to the actual DAT. I actually had some questions that were straight from TopScore it seemed, haha.
 
Apparently, Topscore hasn't updated their software and why it looks like it's from the early 90s, and why everything references Campbell's 4th Edition which was published back in 1996. What a joke. :laugh:
 
so, i dont know if this will fix your problem, but i used topscore on my netbook so the screen resolution setting was off. to fix this, just right click on your backround and hit properties>settings> and change your screen resolution to 1024x788. and it should work??:luck:
