First off anyone here can make a great score on the DAT! I have a below average GPA and had these scores and i know plenty of you guys are wayyyyy smater than i am.!
This may not be too good of a breakdown, but if anything is not clear or has questions feel free to ask
I'd like to thank Ari Rezaei and Dr. Romano for making the two best study resources for the DAT.

The study tools i used were, Cliffs AP Bio, Chads videos for gen chem and ochem, Crack dat for pat and math, DAT Destroyer, and MATH Destroyer, and DAT bootcamp for pat and practice exams

I studied for exactly 2 months and i studied every day for about 10 hours, I would alternate between the sciences every day, ex. monday bio, tuesday chem wednesday orgo and etc. and the last 2-3 hours of the day i would do either math or pat depending on whatever i felt weaker in at the time. one thing i do recommend is still taking the time to go to the gym, play basketball, or do whatever you enjoy doing, it will keep you sane haha.

I started off reading cliffs ap bio, and watching chads videos, then doing dat destroyer and went over it twice and went over gen chem 3 times. By far the best resource i used was dat destroyer, i learned so much with that resource. and DAT bootcamp had very good practice exams but were a bit harder than the actual test my bootcamp averages

How long were your reading comprehension passages? *crosses fingers for less than 18paragraphs a pop* Also was gen chem more quant based, qualitative, or an even mix?

So my practice exam scores for bootcamp always were around the 20-21 range in mostly all the categories and i would say bootcamp rc is pretty on par with the actual thing, even the questions were pretty similar im not sure if it was just my QR but the questions i had were really simple, but i know alot of people who have said that qr was harder than or just kind of different from BC, but in my experience it was easier.

on practice exams i would take small notes of every paragraph on rc but there is a new highlighting feature that helped alot with that so i didnt have to write anything down.

Haha actually all the passages i got were 16 paragraphs and under, and the gen chem for me was kind of mixed but definitely more quantatative like 70/30 split

How's bio? Plant based? Dumb bio knowledge that is useless... those sorts of questions? Dumb reproduction terminology type questions? Dumb ecology type questions? lol

Was just wondering since you've been posting a ton. I take mine on Friday so hopefully I'll get a breakdown up offering some last minute advice.

To be honest, it covered everything like it could be anything
