So I just got DAT Destroyer 2013 in the mail today and Im curious if anyone has any advice on how to go about studying it. I don't take my test until July 22 so I have a little bit of time. Does anyone have a study schedule that they used or a method of taking notes from it? Thanks for the help.

I would check out the 8 week plan sticky on this forum bud

He writes out a daily schedule of problems so you go through the whole thing twice in about 4 weeks I believe

Awesome. Thanks for the help!

I just started going through the 2014 version today. I calculated that if I do a little over 150 problems a day I will get through the survey of sciences sections in 7 days and then I can quickly go through it again in probably half that time. I did 160 (60 bio, 50 ochem, and 50 genchem) problems today in about 6.5 hours. It all depends on your background knowledge and how much time you have each day to study. I stopped and watched Chad's videos throughout and consulted other sources (Wikipedia and cliffs) as well. I think the key is to not rush through it but understand each concept however long that takes. You'll find out what works for you. Good luck!

Sounds good. Im trying to do 40 questions of OCHEM and CHEM and 50 in BIO. Its tough getting through it though because I get 8/10 wrong. But hopefully I will learn from the mistakes.

I watched Chad's videos twice over for chem and o chem as part of my content review so most concepts are fresh and I can go a bit faster than if I wouldn't have done that. Plus I'm a bio major which helps a bit (wish it helped more haha). Also, after 10 questions I stop and review answers and understand the concepts and then do another 10 and so on. Lots of times you will learn things that will help you in future questions.

I'm doing that every 5 questions ha
