So I'm retaking my DAT in 4 weeks... I got a 15 the first time and I just need to go up 4 point but I just feel like every thing I study and practice does not stick in my head. I feel like achieving a 19 is very possible within 4 weeks. my major problems lie in GC, ORGO, and Math. someone please help !!!!

According to past posts you took the DAT over a year ago. What have you done over the last year to prepare for the test this time? You need to give details of what you’ve used for studying if you want good advise.

I think you need a better way of studying, What have you used to prepare your self? Id recommend doing a bunch of recalling over all the information you've learned. Also wish you the best of luck on the DAT!

I took a prep class and before I was just studying content but this time I've been doing questions but I feel like when I review I just doesn't stick

People retain knowledge differently, For me recalling works great, I know a lot of people like flash cards they work well maybe try Quizlet. You can look up other peoples learning styles and give that a shot. I'm hoping that you did take notes so you can review them. I personally didn't know there was a prep class for the DAT, I've heard most people using "Dat Destroyer" and a bunch of other studying methods. Either way GC,OCHEM and Math are huge factors in your scoring. Id say you need to get your confidence up and start studying around 5 hours a day with taking a bunch of notes until you feel confrontable. I don't know your situation for sure since you have took it before and got a 15 maybe get a tutor or another means of studying. If anyone would like to add on go for it. Best of luck and let us know how you do.
