I've done all of Destroyer and did all the topscore test. I take the DAT's in June 28th. That's little less than 2 weeks. My topscore exams are horrible!

Test 1
AA:15
TS:15
PAT:18

Test 2
AA:17
TS:16
PAT: 20

Test 3
AA:16
TS:16
PAT:19

I fell that the General chem portion on topscore is super hard! I went down 2 points from exam 1 and 2 which was a plateau at 15. My bio increased and so did Orgo. Reading, Math and Pat are roughly the same. I have 1 more week to do a practice exam and then the real exam. Is topscore harder than the exam?! I feel that I've done all I could and anymore I'm at the brink of exhaustion.😕

I'm sure opinions vary, but I felt like topscore was a pretty good representative. My total science went up by one point on the real thing, PAT was the same score, and QR and Reading were lower on the real DAT.

It seems like you just need to do some more chemistry problems. Get out your old textbook if necessary. You definitely want to know all the equations very well.
 
I did much better on my real DAT than on Topscore. My topscore GC and OC were usually 16-17. On the real DAT, my GC was 21. OC was 20. I took all the Topscore exams within 2 weeks of my DAT. The only that I would say is be careful with Topscore RC. It is way too easy.

Look at my thread... I took the take on 6/14/11. I used the Kaplan practice test (which from what I'ver read on this forum is easier than the real DAT but I did way better on the real DAT than the practice).

There are certaintly other members who have higher scores but you're score should go up on the real DAT. I have a friend that helped me alot and gave me a lot of confidence before I took the DAT. Although this isn't true for everyone...he told me that my score would go up compared to my practice tests and they did! My understanding is that Top Score is more difficult but I never took the TS practice tests.
