Bio: KBB, Cliff, Barron, Destroyer, and Q-Vault
READ!!! I read each book 3X, and every time I discover my weak areas after taking topscore, q-vault, achiever, and ADA 2009, I read the entire chapter covering those areas. I also worked on Destroyer 3 times, so that I could memorize and understand every single question.

Chem: KBB, Chad, and Destroyer
Watched Chad video once and worked on Destroyer 3 times.

Orgo: KBB, Chad, Destroyer, and Organic Chemistry Odyssey
Watched Chad videos twice and worked on Destroyer 4 times and Odyssey once

Reading: Godfrey and CrackReading
Thinking that Godfrey were the toughest therefore bestest, I worked on Godfrey but scored 15~19 range with average of 17. Meanwhile, CrackReading's average was 20.

PAT: CrackPAT 10 tests version
Just work on the first 5 tests then you score 25. However, the real DAT's PAT was much tougher especially in pattern folding and angle ranking. You cannot use the cheat (line counting) that you may discovered while working on CrackPAT's TFE.

QR: Math Destroyer and Chad
Worked on 10 tests and watched Chad's permutation and probability videos

Practice Exams: Topscore, Achiever (1~5), and ADA 2009
I scored 20~21 on Topscore in May then I took achievers and scored 18 AA while working on weak areas. Then about 4 days before, I took only the science portion of ADA 2009 and scored 23.

The only way is to train your eyes by working on Topscore and Achiever. They don't let you use line counting.

Awesome scores! How was BIO and RC?

HEY CONGRATS!!! those scores are amazing!!

Thank you!!!

Awesome scores! How was BIO and RC?

Bio was very similar to Q-Vault. 80% easy questions 15% tricky questions and 5% WTF questions.

RC was very similar to Crackreading but question ordering made it more difficult. You can answer the first 5 questions just by reading 1/4 of passages in crackreading while I had to finish reading passages to do the same in real.

 

[Dotoday]

Wow, your lowest score is a 20. Congratulations. Great job.

GC was pretty easy. they were similar to Topscore and were never as hard as achiever.

How long did you study for? And how many hours on a typical day?

Congrats!!!!!

Thanks. I studied for about 3 months about 7 hours per day then 10 hours during last 3 weeks. I didn't study over the weekend though.
