Okay...I took the kaplan test back in February...was going to do the DAT in April, and had a tough semester so I didn't get too much studying in for it. But now I feel like I can take the DAT real soon and do pretty well, the key is just putting in the time. I had all the materials, and even bought topscore, and if you start just putting in the time...it really does work. In two days I've put forth 6 hours each day, and have just finished the entire biology section in the big white book they give u if you do the class (very thick book). This is just a post to encourage people I guess...or its really late and I'm bored. I take two summer classes too, so what I'm doing is studying 4 hours for once class and then doing the DAT, and alternating with the classes, but the DAT every damn day. It will pay off. I can already see it...
So break out your books guys, and put in the time...I'm setting my date for late June, I'm ready! 😎
 
Thanks for the encouraging post. I'm going to start studying on the 30th of this month so hearing some positive feedback is nice. Keep up the good work and good luck!!

By the way do you recommend Topscore?

I recommend topscore. There are only so many DAT study materials, and you ought to use most of them. The best two, in my opinion, are Kaplans, and TopScore. Oh. IQ publishing is good for PAT as well.

Thanks. I wasn't sure about topscore. Also I can't take a Kaplan course because it conflicts with my schedule but I was thinking about the online thing. For Kaplan online is it like a class or do they just let you use their resources?

I don't know how the kaplan thing works on line, but you can save money buying materials from people who have taken Kaplan. They are quite prevalent on this site.

If you are going to start studying the 30th, when do you plan on taking the test. This is the time I plan on cracking down on the studying as well. Just curious.
 
Hey just letting everyone know, I just scheduled DAT for June 24, 8:00am 😱 . That was the only time they had. So whats the deal with these DAT people anyway? I sent my check and registration over 2 weeks ago and havnt heard anything back. So I just went to Prometric site and put my info in and scheduled a date. Why havnt i heard anything, and how did it let me schedule when I havnt heard anything back from anyone?
