Which are closest to actual DAT?

I mean format wise, is Bootcamp a lot like the DAT? Does it show one question at a time and have a number bar on the bottom that you can click on? I've only seen two formats, one was for CDP where you just keep clicking next and then for DAT bootcamp you can click a number bar.

Which practice test would you say looks more like the DAT?

Also how do you feel the RC and QR compare to actual DAT? Is it easier or harder? Thanks 🙂

If CDP and Bootcamp had a child, you'd have great representation. CDP mimics the feel/layout of the test, Bootcamp mimics the question style and difficulty.

EDIT: of course, IMO, CDP also is a good prep tool for PAT. So is Bootcamp.

Agreed. Layout of real DAT resembled CrackDAT. Thought BootCamp's PAT was more difficult in terms of TFE and keyholes. However, I recommend both products. If running low on cash then Bootcamp is the way to go.

This is almost the exact same interface you'll get on the real test, except you'll get a better looking calculator: https://www.prometric.com/ClientFiles/ada/DAT/index.htm

Achiever has the same look as the real one but some of the features were not consistent with the real one.

DAT BootCamp is closest in terms of problems and the style of the questions.

I would recommend using both if you have the funds to do so. The more practice, the better. But if you can only choose one, I would probably pick DAT Bootcamp. Great practice.

And just throwing this out there.. I would definitely take the 2009 ADA practice test if you can. My scores on the real thing were pretty much identical to my scores on the practice test.

I personally disagree. My scores on the real thing were higher. I have heard on multiple occasions that there are several mistakes on the 2009 edition and this will of course effect your score at the end. This part was frustrating. It is good though for practicing timing of the test, which is VITAL to doing well. The difficulty of the questions are pretty similar but Bootcamp is the most similar.
