Question

Is the PAT on the actual DAT easier or harder than on Crack DAT PAT? I've used some books like Kaplan and Barron's and their practice PAT seems easier than Crack DAT PAT's does. How does it compare to the real test?

Answer 1

The actual PAT on the DAT is about the same as Crack DAT PAT. I scored within a point on the actual PAT on the DAT as I did when studying at home with Crack the DAT PAT. So I would say it is very accurate and realistic as to what you will experience in the real test. Best wishes on your studies and exam !

Answer 2

I'd actually say that it's a bit harder on the actual DAT - on the Crack PAT program, I was consistently scoring in the range of 27 to 30. Conversely, I only scored a 22 on the actual DAT which was a pretty big blow to my ego.  Maybe it was just my computer screen for the actual exam (not the clearest) or that I was EXHAUSTED after the Science Section (I never took a full length test straight through before the actual DAT), but I obviously scored way worse than I had been scoring with Crack PAT.  Hope this helps and good luck with everything!
