Not necessarily, it really depends on your academic background and the DAT score that you are aiming for. There are many students who believe that 'more DAT practice is better'; however, perhaps a more pragmatic expression would be: 'more effective DAT practice is better'.
There is little value to have extra full-length DAT practice tests if you don't have the time and motivation to use them as full-length walkthrough. Ideally, each attempt includes a careful review of answers and explanations over 1-2 days per exam, associated with careful notetaking. Frankly, re-taking mock exams is not an efficient use of time for most students. However, taking brief, effective notes from your practice test experience and reviewing all of those notes several times per week builds knowledge, reasoning and confidence moving forward. In other words, you should choose the number of mock exams according to your needs, budget and schedule.

Some companies try to make DAT practice tests harder than the real exam. Note that the best DAT practice tests should have the correct balance of questions that would be expected on the real exam as well as the proper range of easy, challenging and average difficulty questions. Thus, a meticulously-crafted mock exam should not be easier or harder, but rather, it should reproduce a realistic experience.
Aside from the realism of the content and the computer-based formatting, the best DAT practice tests must come with explanations so clear that they can be used as an additional learning tool. You will find all of these attributes across the free and paid GS and Bohr Prep mock exams.
Both the ADA and GS offer exam pdf files to help you prepare. We already mentioned that the ADA has a free mock exam pdf that you can download (2007 Edition, most of the content remains helpful for test preparation). Also, Gold Standard (GS) has the fully-updated, full-length GS-1 DAT practice test pdf format as part of the following Masters Series eBook currently available for $24.95: DAT PAT.
