Members do not see this ad.

ive been studying for past few months

as my DAT date is coming within 2 weeks, i am starting to get nervous like everybody else

ive been doing destroyer 2-3 times already (planning to keep doing them)
but i feel like some of the answers i just unconsciously memorized them and got them right


anyways, 2 weeks left! (June 1st)

i am pretty good with PAT (23+ CDP everytime 10 tests) and QR
so im not really worried about these sections

but bio, GC, OC
what should i do?

should i do like 50 destroyer questions everyday for each section
and start doing practice tests?
and watch chad's video once again along with my notes, and do quizzes?

for practice tests, i have ADA and topscore
but should i get achiever also and do these 7 practice tests? i really dont mind doing them every single day

any advices will be greatly appreciated,
good luck everybody if you are in my position!

I'm taking mine on June 4! And getting very nervous also as it's getting near. I got the three acheiver tests and three topscore. I have my last final exam on Monday so once that's over I will take topscore and destroyer every other day jus to have some more practice with the timing. And the day in between would be review/ destroyer. Everyone seems to recommend doing practice tests the last few weeks so that is why I got the achiever. So that's what I'm doing, don't know if it was much of help. Any other suggestions?
Good luck!

Hey, I am taking mine on June 1 too!

I went over destroyer few times just like you but I am not well prepared for the QR section. So I will be spending few days for the QR section and planning to do Qvault and Topscore for the practice tests.

I took topscore about a week ago and got 20TS and planning to take topscore#2 tomorrow. (hope it gets higher)

let me know how are you doing on your practice tests~

from my experience, doing destroyer more than twice is waste of time because like you said, you think you are improving, but really you are just remembering the right answers from the first or second time doing the problem.

i personally didnt even do all the questions, but there are several i did twice, and the second time, i already knew the answer after reading half the question lol.

i would recommend datqvault for a fresh set of questions. i wrote a breakdown couple days ago and i loved datqvault personally. and its only $100 for 10 practice exams (minus pat).

if not datqvault, any other batch of questions you've never seen would be a better use of time than just redoing destroyer imo. i wouldnt recommend crack dat science though. its just too hard and discouraging.

Did you have a certain schedule that you went through? Or did you just study all the materials before your DAT without any prepared schedule?

i just randomly studied each subject at a time, then study everything together.
personally i thought studying one subject at a time will help me better,
so i just started off with Chad ochem and take good notes and watch the videos twice to fill my notes
then i did same thing for GC.
then i moved onto destroyer.

after all these, i did read cliffs about 3 times then fill alan's notes with my own notes and information
then destroyer!
