I took the DAT yesterday and I'm very happy because if I was going to have to retake, it would have ruined the rest of my summer. I wasn't planning on writing out a long and detailed breakdown like most other people, but I'll be willing to answer any questions anybody has about how I studied and what I used as materials. The only piece of advice I'll give right now is that for all of you taking the test soon, when you get there on your test day, try your hardest not to stress out. I feel that a big reason I did well was that I was able to relax and focus on remembering the things I knew from studying. Good luck to all of you!

And here are my scores:

PAT - 25
QR - 26
RC - 23
Bio - 24
GC - 23
OC - 22
TS - 23
AA - 24

Over the course of last semester I very slowly read through KBB. I had planned to do more studying during the semester but I got very lazy about it and ended up just doing that book alone during the semester. Right after finals I started studying my other materials. Over the course of 3 and a half weeks, I used cliff's ap bio, dat destroyer, math destroyer, and CDP. Every day for those 3 weeks I would do one chapter of cliffs, about 30 problems of both chem sections of destroyer, about 50 bio questions from destroyer, and then either a CDP test or math destroyer test. In total I ended up reading through cliffs twice, doing destroyer twice, and doing almost all of the tests for each of CDP and math destroyer. I also purchased topscore, and each of the last three days before the test I did a topscore test.
