7 Week DAT Study plan okay for 23AA?

[Jueves]

Members don't see this ad.

Hey Guys, i'm shooting for a 22+ AA on the DAT and 21/22 on the PAT. I'm currently studying for 7 weeks, and I'm planning on doing 7-8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and on the 7th day, 5 hours. (6th day is rest day)

My tools are KBB, DAT Destroyer and Chad's for OChem and GChem, Cliffs AP Bio 3rd Edition along with an online biology course called Thinkwell, and Crack PAT.

Heres an example of my schedule

Monday: Chem (4 Hours) Orgo(4 Hours)

Tuesday: Biology (4 Hours) QR (3 Hours)

Wednesday: Biology (4 Hours) Review on OChem and GChem (4 Hours)

Thursday: Orgo (4 Hours) GChem (4 Hours)

Friday: Off, but maybe have like a 3 Hour review on concepts i'm not familiar with

Saturday: Bio review from Tuesday and Wednesday Material (4 Hours) & OChem/GChem Review from Monday and Thursday (4 Hours)

Sunday: GChem Review (1-2 Hours) QR and PAT (4 Hours)

Thoughts?
Assume I have an average, if not, slightly weaker science background but strong QR and RC background

Depends how much you commit. Some girl just posted a breakdown a couple days ago that studied for 3 weeks and got a 23AA/23TS or something like that. It all depends on you. Took me 12 weeks, although I was studying while in school so that probably could have been condensed if I wasn't taking any classes.

Edit: And I agree with @Likkriue, get Bootcamp.

My crystal ball is currently not working so can't tell you whether or not you will get a 23+
However I would also add Dat bootcamp to your list of material.
Otherwise, study at your own pace and goodluck!

I wouldnt use KBB. It is a waste of time and effort (I think that personally after using it and I know some other users would agree with me). Also, this schedule might be good for review, but I would try to avoid compartmentalizing the sections on the DAT. Maybe consider doing a little bit of everything everyday so you dont forget everything in the past session by the time you review it again (if this style works for you though, then dont mess with it). For the PAT i would recommend studying that everyday after studying everything (think of it as a game).

Before looking into crackpat and think well have you considered DATBootcamp or DATGenius? Both of them I would argue are the leaders in prep and PAT practice atm. I have never heard of Thinkwell so I won't comment on it.

It is definitely possible to score that well with 7 weeks of studying though. If you need some other study schedules to look at I would look at Ahi's study guide for DAT.

For me, I found that going through PAT exercises daily was more effective than a huge chunk of time. I would do about 20-30 minutes a day doing exercises and timing myself. I've never used Crack PAT but I would consider getting Bootcamp for the PAT generators alone.

24 PAT was my score.

Let me ask @Advance about this since I heard he has a crytal ball

Please do, I'm in short supply of Crystal Balls myself and I would really appreciate it if someone would use theirs to predict my future xD

Anyway, Thinkwell is an online course that acts as a 2 semester college biology course going over basic concepts such as cellular respiration, body systems, etc.

I kind of screwed myself over because i'm actually in the beginning of week 3 of my 7 week plan and I was using just KBB. I realized that the KBB is not specific enough so I bought everything else I listed and I'll be studying that from now on. Got my Crack the PAT and Destroyer today and waiting for the Cliff's. I'll consider the DATGenius or Bootcamp, haven't heard too much about them so I haven't looked into them as much. I do need to stop compartmentalizing the subjects, maybe study every science subject for 2-3 hours a day or something.

On a side note, thanks for the replies guys!

This is just my opinion, but I would toss everything except cliffs, destroyer, and bootcamp. That's literally all you really need to be successful. You could probably even only use destroyer and be successful. But bootcamp is all you need for PAT, that's the only thing I used (everything else with bootcamp is good too, though)

I say ditch Crack PAT and KBB. I think Bootcamp is a must, and for bio use feralis notes. I would also check out tyjacobs notes, they are quite comprehensive as well.
Don't overdue it with PAT. IMO, you would be better served getting higher in TS or RC. A 20 on the PAT is plenty. Most of the schools I spoke to said they really don't care much about that.
