So I took the DAT 2 months ago but am pretty bored right now and thought I might make a breakdown and post my schedule.

OC 21
PAT 22
RC 20

Biology
For content all you need is AP Cliffs and Feralis, in my schedule I had Feralis but I never really used it and skimmed AP Cliffs instead, I just felt like it was easier to understand the information and learn facts with AP Cliffs because Feralis is just too dry and filled with fact after fact. If anything use AP Cliffs first and then Feralis after to hammer down more facts. I LOVED Qvault Bio and Bootcamp as well for practice tests, I did these a ton and while I didn't do the best while taking them, I think they helped me test better and learn more info.
I know everyone on here LOVES Destroyer and while I think Destroyer can be very beneficial for a really high score, for me it was overkill and just crazy random facts so I only did like 40 questions, but it will help if you actually use it.
Gen Chem
All you need is Chad's videos for content review and Destroyer/Bootcamp for practice problems. Now in my schedule I have me going through destroyer twice, which I didn't do, only did half because I just got a bit lazy and didn't stick with my schedule but I RECOMMEND GOING THROUGH DESTROYER TWICE.
O Chem
Literally same as Gen chem
PAT
I used the bootcamp generators to get familiar with each topic and learn how to approach each problem and then moved onto practice tests alternating between Crack DAT PAT/Bootcamp. At first it is definitely difficult not only figuring out the right answer but doing it in a timely fashion but just keep sticking with the practice tests and you will eventually get it down.
RC
I just did the bootcamp/qvault practice tests and thought that was enough a week before my test. The passages were pretty interesting on the real test and I used a method of reading the first couple of paragraphs, looking at the first few questions, skimming the rest while juggling between questions and then used search and destroy.
QR
I first watched Chad's QR vids and did the quizzes to brush up on my math and get down the majority of topics like geometry, trig, probability, etc. Then between Destroyer math section, Math Destroyer, and bootcamp, that's enough practice problems/tests to get ready for the DAT.
Schedule
Personally I really like it just because it's only 5 weeks, which does suck, but not as bad as some people here studying 7/8 weeks or even 3+months which I think is unnecessary and a waste of time.
I myself didn't stick to it, barely did the destroyer, skipped some math tests, didn't really use feralis and think I still did pretty good on the test.
Also, that first week of bootcamp generators isn't necessary and would make it 6 weeks but I just wanted to get a head start on the PAT section.
If you stick to the schedule, get through the first 2 weeks of Chad's vids, stick the 2 weeks of destroyer, and week of practice tests, I think you would definitely do good, especially with the destroyer.
