Should i just focus on problem solving and reviewing notes and keep practicing practicing

or just watch chads video along with my notes all over again?

is it a good idea?


ive been posting a lot recently.. please understand! im so nervous about upcoming DAT!
 
I thought about doing that as well.. even on the 1.5x speed - it couldn't be done!!

spend more time taking practice tests.
 
I decided to watch Chad's videos with 3 weeks before my dat and i finished the QR, GC, and OC in one week. I wouldn't recommend rewatching all his videos because you'd be doing nothing but that for a week, even on 1.5x speed. I would definitely spend more time taking practice tests and honing in your weaknesses. However, I would go back and retake all the quizzes and make sure you understand why you got things right and wrong. Definitely helps because his quizzes are good.

Try not to be nervous! I know, easier said than done. But the only way to get past the nervousness is to take more practice tests. Timing and not losing your cool is so key.
 
About 10 days before my test I looked at the index of all Chad's videos and took note of all the GC and OC topics I wasn't completely comfortable with. I ended up spending an entire day watching about 1/3 of the GC videos and doing quizes followed by an entire day of watching close to 1/2 of the OC videos. It was perhaps the best time I spent studying as after that I was really able to breeze through destroyer. I had already watched all the videos 2x before this too, so the more difficult topics I actually watched 3x. For me it really worked out to do this strategy, but I would not watch ALL of the videos, just the ones you are struggling with .
 
i would not recommend spending time re-watching all his videos. i would spend time just working on as many practice problems as possible. if there is a subject you dont know at all, maybe watch just that video to review, but at this point, practice problems are the most important thing than knowing theory (biology is the only section imo where re-reading might be just as useful as doing practice problems)
