I'm just going to keep this short and simple
GC and OC:
Chad's videos and destroyer is all you need. If you can get your hands on Kaplan's online stuff, they're really good too. I went through Chad's videos thoroughly. For example, I took me over an hour to go through a 30 minute lecture. Make sure you understand the concepts. While you do problems, make sure you understand why you're doing the things you are to obtain the answer.
Also I used ACS study guides for ochem and gchem. I didn't have time to go through every section but from the sections that I did go over, I felt like the questions really tested your knowledge. Do ACS only if you have time... it's not necessary.
BIO:
I consistently got 18 and 19 on datqvault, topscore, and kaplan tests. I'm extremely happy and surprised with this score. The problems weren't that random as I thought it would be. I went through cliff's thoroughly and then used Alan's notes after I went through cliff's. I would recommend investing in datqvault. I think datqvault did a better job than destroyer's bio section.
RC:
I got this weird physics passage for my second passage. It really made my head hurt. I think it might've affect my performance on the 3rd passage. I didn't really study for this section because I don't think you can. I always enjoyed reading so I think that helped me do ok on this section.
PAT:
CDP is EASY compared to the real DAT. Keyholes were ridiculous!! I averaged 24-25 on CDP and finished with 10 minutes left but during the real test, I ran out of time so I had to guess on 2 of the questions that I marked.
QR:
Get math destroyer. I was aiming for 25+ on this section because I was missing only 2-3 questions on math destroyer tests. My QR score didn't drop because the questions were harder... I think I was too tired by the time I reached this section. Make sure you skip problems!! If I couldn't understand and answer the question right away, I just skipped it.
I read somewhere that we should invest 80% of study time on GCHEM and OCHEM and 20% on BIO. It was the best advice I received! No matter how much time you study for bio, you'll never be 100% ready for it.
Let me know if you guys have any questions.
