2 hrs/weekday, 4 hrs/weekend for 1 month, then 4-5 hrs everyday for the last 2 wks. It was a rough time for me with 2 jobs and a new born baby. I think I did good under pressure. Don't wanna do it again. Whatta useless test !

you can't really answer a question like that. The thing is that people like me for example studied about 5 to 8 hours a day for the whole summer. My AA was 14. Why? I don't pay attention to my courses. I take my courses in undergrad because I have to. Pure memorization. Other people who scored really high though are different. They could have studied like two weeks and scored a lot higher, just because they probably skimmed through the DAT book knowing everything already since they've already taken it in school, and they actually remember it.
take a practice test, and see were you stand. assess your abilities. each person is different.
good luck!

no interview invites yet ahmed, seems its gonna be a harsh cycle. I got a couple of phone calls from adcoms, after I had left them messages, from various schools saying that they are still considering the application, and I have a decent chance if I decide to take the DAT again in spring, and score their average atleast since my EC's and LORS were pretty decent, even tho my GPA sorta sucked. I don't know, we'll see what happens.
thanks for asking though...

How is your DAT studying going? Do you feel like your making progress?
well, what i am doing now is that I'm studying each topic from kaplan out of its respective text book. Like the biology for example, I know everything in the kaplan book, but I look it up in the campbell biology book and study the whole topic from there too. Same with OC and GC, I hope this works out. But I'm actually getting the feeling that im knowing a little bit better, etc. I hope it goes well🙂
