Dr. Jim Romano discusses key General Chemistry applications that frequently appear on the DAT. Understanding how core principles translate into real exam questions is essential for strong performance in the General Chemistry section. Watch the video here: If you’re preparing for the DAT or...

How would you calculate Kb for the formate ion, given that the Ka for formic acid is 1.8 × 10⁻⁴ ? a. Kb = Ka × Kw b. Kb = Kw + Ka c. Kb = Kw / Ka d. Kb = Kw − Ka e. Kb = Ka / Kw Pause before scrolling if you want to simulate test conditions. Answer: C KaKb = Kw For a conjugate acid–base...

I’ve seen a lot of students say the real DAT felt tougher than expected after prepping with Bootcamp — especially in Bio, Math, and Gen Chem. 📊 Here's a quick visual based on recent feedback: If you want to read more, here’s the full post: 👉 Is DAT Bootcamp Too Easy? What Students Are...

TL;DR - 26 AA, 27 TS, used DATDestroyer and DATBooster What’s up everyone, I just took my DAT on Tuesday and I scored pretty well. I prepared using a combination of DAT Destroyer and DATBooster. My study schedule consisted of: 5 weeks of the Destroyer + 3 weeks of Booster. Went through...

I took my DAT twice. The first time I strictly used Bootcamp, and the second I used Bootcamp, BOOSTER, and some of destroyer. My first attempt was not good. I think Bootcamp is a great resource for those who have forgotten certain subjects like GC & OC and need to relearn. Mike does an AMAZING...

Hi everyone! I've been a longtime lurker on SDN and have used a ton of advice from those in this forum, so I really thank you all a ton for everything. I'm writing this breakdown to give back for all the help I received, and to hopefully help some people who were more tight on money like myself...

Hey everyone! I took my DAT recently and did pretty well for studying under 4 weeks. I thought it would be worthwhile making a thread for students who are in a time crunch and want to get the most out of their studying time like I did. Here is my score breakdown and how I prepared: PAT: 30 QR...

For those who have posted their study breakdowns, I noticed people were retaking bootcamps full-lengths two to three times and going over Destroyer problems two to three times. I am following Ari's Schedule and was wondering how you guys would fit that into the schedule? Did you extend Ari's...

Hi all! I think it would be helpful to have everything* that is useful in this forum put together in one easily accessible thread for everyone to use. I'll also be adding links to products so people know what sorts of materials are helpful for the DAT. Signing up to take the DAT: 1. Read these...

alright so Ive been studying for the DAT for a couple months now and used DAT Bootcamp for review since its been well over 4 years since I took chemistry and 3 since I taken orgo. My question is how should you approach destroyer chem / orgo questions. I know everyone is different, but im...

I took my DAT yesterday, and wanted to write this because I found it incredibly helpful to read basically all of the DAT breakdowns from the past year before starting my own study schedule, and because I think this one may benefit people who do not want to pay several hundred for subscriptions...

So I’m a little confused, because there’s a ton of reactions in the Destroyer book (I made flash cards of all of them and it’s pretty thick) but on the Bootcamp tests I always see the same handful of reactions. Would you guys say it’s totally necessary to memorize all the reactions in Destroyer...

Hello I am taking the DAT course with Dr. Romano in NY this summer and I would like to come up with a study plan. I am aiming to take the DAT by August 30th which totals about 3 months of study time. Here are the resources I've surmised to be most helpful. DAT destroyer combo pack PAT-...

Hi I was wondering what was more representative of whats going to be on the QR section?

I've been following Ari's schedule for the past month and a half, and I'm about to start doing destroyer problems. Contrary to the layout of the schedule, I would like to go through all of the problems in each section (OC: 360, GC: 402, Bio: 685) at least twice in the month and a half that I...

I have a 2015 Destroyer that I bought new. Great condition. No writing/notes or loose pages. The only marks in the book are from where I highlighted the numbers in the left margin of a few problems that I wanted to review. I will throw in a free Cliff's AP Bio 3rd edition with highlighting...

Hi guys! Okay so my test is in 10ish days (its on Feb 1) and I'm freaking out to say the least... so I wanted to do all tests bootcamp has to offer before the exam but I am still doing dat destroyer!! I've done full tests #1-4 and did pretty well on them (but that could be because I've seen...

I just took my DAT today and did better than I was anticipating with a 21AA. I wanted to make a brief post to encourage people who are still studying and still feeling like they're not hitting the scores that they want to get on the actual test. Obviously this is just my experience, but I...

Hi guys. So I went through all of cliffs and feralis, and some questions from the destroyer are extremely detailed and go into biochem and specificities of different diseases... I'm sort of freaking out about it... how do I go about the questions that I have no idea how to solve? Do i just make...

Hi guys, I'm nearing the end of my review stage and will start practice questions soon. I may reschedule my test date based on everyone's input (I'd like to pay the $25 reschedule fee as opposed to the $65). How many weeks is sufficient to go through all the materials in DAT Destroyer (2017)...

I only had 7 weeks to study for the DAT after summer school session 1 because I am going on a dental mission trip the third week of September. I am now only 2 weeks away from my test date and I am basically only halfway done with Ari's Study guide. I started doing the gen chem bootcamp and...

Hey guys! I've been trying to find a thread that matched with my situation the most, but I cannot seem to find any. But I really need advice and some help! I was set to take the DAT this early September but I do not feel ready at all. I've studied everything but my scores in QR/Math and General...

I can't postpone the exam because my Bootcamp subscription literally runs out the day of my exam. I took BC full lengths 1,2,3, and 5 (i meant to do 4 but i accidentally clicked on 5, fml). I don't want to take any tests on Thursday, the day before my exam.. so tomorrow (Wednesday) should i take...

I have 27 days left until my test date. I've been using Ari's Study Guide but I was taking summer session so it cut into my studying (for the first month). I planned everything out but I will be able to do everything EXCEPT Days 46-55. Roughly about 10 days. I am planning on omitting those...
