Just finished my DAT today and I still can't wipe the stupid happy grin off my face!
I listed the study material I used above next to the relevant category and I'll give my breakdown on each section below.
PAT: As everyone has said before, CDP is hands down the best practice tool available. Achiever practice tests gave me some trouble because of the drawings are crappier, but it prepared me for the poorer drawings on the actual test. On the test, I don't know what happened. I absolutely got steam rolled by keyhole but somehow still managed to pull 24! I was getting 23-25 consistently on CDP. Word of warning, I was originally only missing angle rankings (which is really the only ones you should miss according to my brother who got a 30 on his PAT), but on the actual test, I found that keyholes were probably the hardest and everything else was pretty easy. About same, if not a little easier, than CDP.
QR: Seemed pretty easy, I was surprised I got a 20. Math Destroyer definitely helps a lot. There was an emphasis on trig for sure.
RC: CDR seemed to be about the same difficulty as the passages I got. I had one physics, one on H. pylori, and one on hurricanes. Overall, easy (especially when compared to Achiever!)
B: I actually went into the test feeling like bio was my strongest science and am disappointed I got a 20. Questions were half/half of straight memorizing and applying/inferring from what you memorized. Destroyer bio is pretty good prep! AP Bio was good review, KBB is trash.
GC: Like everyone has said, Chad's is awesome. I took notes and went through all of destroyer once. Overall, problems weren't too bad.
OC: Chads! I actually didn't make it all the way through destroyer, but that said, destroyer is definitely over kill.
YAY for being done!
