For Bio, I used DAT Destroyer and Cliffs AP. I went through the destroyer several times, while also reading through the Cliffs AP, concentrating on the topics I didn't understand, the rest I just skimmed.

Chem, used the Destroyer, intially my performance was poor, although after repeating it the second time around, I improved. This section wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but since I was running out of time, I went straight to ochem, and then came back to finish the chem since it was burning up most of my time.

Ochem, Destroyer again. Since I was weak in Ochem, I went through the destroyer several times for this topic. I also looked at Chads, although I thought it was much more detailed than what was really needed for the DAT. (Better to be over prepared than under prepared I guess).

PAT/Reading, I practiced this section with Crack DAT. I felt Crack PAT is well worth the money, I felt all sections on the actual DAT were much easier than the crack pat tests. Although for reading it was the opposite, where the tests were a bit easier than the actual passages on the DAT since they're much longer. I used search and destroy, and seemed to have worked fine. I didn't get a chance to finish though.

Math, I used Math Destroyer for this section, and I felt I was definitely over prepared for math. I went through the destroyer twice, and understood all the problems. I was expecting the score to be much better, although again I didn't finish and ran out of time.

Any opinions on which schools to apply?
 
Hey well congrats! you can apply to dental school and get in with an 18 🙂
I would apply at every in-state dental school and the ones of your choice elsewhere of course..
I had a question, did you use TopScore at all?
 
No I didn't use TopScore. I thought if I take on too many sources, I'll spread myself too thin. I'd recommend getting DAT destroyer for the sciences, Math Destroyer for math, and Crack PAT and Crack Reading.
 
lol well im actually going to be taking my test this monday so i was just seeing what you used to get your 18 because that's all i need...did you think it was too tough to get an 18? how long/much did you study?
