Just got done taking the DAT today and I must say, know the math!! Trig was really hard. I looked at DAT Destroyer and Kaplan, but make sure you know the math mechanisms! Here are my scores
PAT 26 99.8
QR 19 81.9
RC 25 98.0
Bio 21 95.2
GChem 21 86.2
OChem 22 89.8
TS 22 95.3
AA 22 95.4
I used Kaplan, Destroyer, and practice tests for the GRE and MCAT. The other practice tests were a definite help, some of the questions were nearly identical. If you have the time, check them out. I didn't use topscore or anything, just a practice test cd from kaplan and my scores were about the same. Another tip, try to stay calm and don't rush.
PAT was not too bad, but I like those sort of things. Not sure what to say about it.
QR was harder than I expected. I would make sure and time yourself when you practice to just get used to doing math under pressure.
Bio was, as everyone says, random. I started here and made some mistakes while I was still nervous. Make sure you look back over the first 10-15 questions if you have time.
G Chem had quite a few concepts, but it wasn't too bad.
O Chem was pretty straightforward. Destroyer was way overkill.
If I could do something different about my studying, I would have really had the basics down and don't go too far in depth if you can avoid it. Also, like I said, Trig.
Anyway, I am gonna go consume some recreational beverages. Good luck to everyone who has yet to take it and relax!
