Which practice test provided THE most indicative score?

So with all the practice tests out there, which was most representative of the actual dat for YOU? (achiever, topscore, kaplan, ada 2007/9, etc) in terms of difficulty, phrasing, overall scope, etc. Feel free to add as much detail as you wish!

2007/2009 ADA were the closest to my actually score (though I took the 2007 weeks before my DAT when I was not fully prepped). All other practice tests I took were harder than the real thing.

i only have achiever and im trying to get a (better) scope of where im at because the scores im getting are making me paranoid, i guess ill try the 2009 version tomorrow

surprised at the 2009 ADA responses...i was debating not even taking it because Ive heard such mixed reviews about it?? some people say its really off, especially for certain sections, but then apparently some people say its indicative?

I'm actually confused about this too. Ive seen many threads where the 2009 test is deemed to be filled with errors, etc. Anyone care to elaborate?

I didn't say it was the best way to study for the DAT, only that it most accurately predicted my score. I got the same AA on the 2009 practice as the real DAT. My TS was 1 off. All other practice tests I did were harder than the real DAT which means they were better practice.

As for errors, I remember people posting that they had found some errors but in spite of those errors it still accurately predicted my real score.

for 2009 sample test, there are 1 or 2 errors in bio, maybe 1 in chemistry, and about 5 or 6 in qr; you can find the correct answers on sdn. i still recommend it as the closest thing to the real deal.

I would say TopScore and CDP.
