Great score man, congrats. I just have a quick question. You mentioned that Achiever is better training for the PAT section. Would you say that the real exam was closer to Achiever than CDP??

Wow! I cant believe I am done with DAT! Whoo Whoo! First I would like thank SDN and especially Glimmer, Free99, GatorD, Feralis, Issacyankem, and many more.

Score:
22/22/23
PAT: 23
QR: 22
Reading: 21
Bio: 22
GC: 23
OC: 22
TS: 22
AA: 22

Study Time: 3 months. Actually started studying this January but didnt study most Feb and March.
Study Material: AP Cliff, Chad, DatQV, Destroyer, Math Destroyer, Feralis Note, Achiever. ADA 2009,2007.

Bio (22): Cliff 3x. I would definitely know Cliff and DatQV charts. I dont think Destroyer is needed. Again, thats just my opinion but I think Cliff alone is more than enough. I did 1/2 of Destroyer but ended up just reading Cliff because I didnt think I knew everything from Cliff. Keep it simple! Just know the general idea of whats happening in each chapter. Dont worry about not remembering after reading chapters from Cliff because in my opinion you can eliminate choices. Again, you know yourself better so if have your study style then follow your routine. Keep it simple.

GC (23): Chad 2x Destroyer 2x. Ill keep it simple here. If you know Chad AND DO Destroyer and understand them, then I think you are in good position.

OC (22): Little disappointed because I thought I got perfect score. It was a joke. I spent 10 minutes. But I guess I got few wrong. Again Chad 2x Destroyer 2x. If you know them, then I think you are good to go!!

PAT (23): CDP test 1-5 and Achiever PAT 1-7. I would do CDP first and Achiever. I marked all the TFE and ended up doing at last 10 minutes. I think I liked Achiever for better training.

RC (21): Didnt do anything except some practice tests from CDP. I dont think there is a way to prepare for this section. Just believe yourself. I did S and D method.

QR (22): Chad 1x Math Destroyer 2x. I did entire 11 tests. SPEED SPEED SPEED. I ended up doing first problem for 5 minutes. It was simpler than Math Destroyer. Do Destroyer and equations from CHAD then set to go.

What I would have done if I were to do it again: Although my score isnt high as others in SDNers, I think studied bit too long. Keep it to max 2.5 months. Basically if you dont have time, Cliff, Chad, Destroyer (GC,OC), and Math Destroyer will you 20+ I think. Well I think if you really dont have time, then for OC and GC CHAD would probably be enough. Keep it simple. Simple is the key. I didnt take any full practice exam before the test but I suggest doing one or two just to know where you stand. But I did section test though. Again Keep IT SIMPLE.
So relieved~ Let my summer begin!!!!!!!!! Gluck guys!!!!!!!

How many times did you go through Destroyer?

2.5 months? Is that studying 8 hours a day or just part time after work?

DAT can be done with Cliff AP, Chad, and Destroyer Math if you really dont have time in my opinion. I worked and studied at the same time. I think best way to prepare for DAT is to read cliff for bio. Watch chad for OC/GC/QR. Then do Destroyer. I think for PAT CDP first and Achiever. I think DATqvault was good for bio ONLY. Hope this helps.👍
