I was wondering if you can take the CDP tests as much as you want. Also, what is the best way to study for that section using CDP? I was thinking giving myself two days to do the 5 test version (take all 5 in one day and do the same thing another day). Would that be efficient? Advice from those who used CDP and already took the DAT would be greatly appreciated! thanks.
 
yes you can take the CDP tests as many times as you want. However, i would spend a lot more than 2 days on it especially if you are like me and struggle with PAT. I used the 10 test version and did only 1 each day. but after i finished the test in an hour, i took at least another 30mins - 1 hour looking over the right answer for each question to reinforce what i did right and catch my mistakes for what i did wrong. going over the answers (both right and wrong) IMO is just as important is doing the test itself.

My suggestion would be for you to spend 4 days total (if ur short on time). First 2 days divide up the 5 tests however you like and go over the answers and everything. Then give your self some time - as much as possible - 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month whatever you can afford - and then redo the tests again after a while. this way you won't remember the mistakes you made the first time, and you can check whether you actually learned anything from your mistakes from the first time.
