Hey guys my DAT is next week. I just only put my money on DAT Destroyer for Bio, GC, OC and QR. I did not use anything for Bio just only DAT Destroyer with the multiple choice questions that Dr. Romano posted. Materials used:

Bio: DAT Destroyer
GC: DAT Destroyer
OC: DAT Destroyer
RC: DAT Cracker, Gold Standard Prep, Kaplan, and Princeton.
QR: Math Destroyer and DAT Destroyer

I just do 300 problems a day in DAT Destroyer Bio everyday repeatedly, and I have done that for the 4 consecutive times in total. I do 100 problems for GC and OC 2 times total. What ya think? Great study prep. Do u think I will destroy the DAT with such?

If you used the materials as they are intended, I think you are absolutely set!

How do you feel going through the problems again? Do they seem easier after many runs through? Are you able to recognize why an answer is what it is, and why the other options are not the answer, rather than memorizing the correct answer choice?

If you answered yes to all of those questions, you're set to go! Realize you'll probably never feel entirely ready to take the DAT, but once you build up your confidence enough and make it through the material, only you can tell when to take the final leap to do so.

Best of luck! Make sure to check back in with how you end up doing.

I felt very confident going thru them 5 times over and over again. I know the Romano techniques and tricks to tricky questions. I learned a lot from his detailed solutions. I was able to recognize what the answer is, again, going thru them 5 times over again gives me an idea of how to ace a tricky question. I memorize the Bio section multiple choice questions and statements by adding notes from the detailed solutions Dr. Romano posted on his answer solutions which gives me a glimpse of what biology is all about.

"I was able to recognize what the answer is,"

After my second pass, I started to get stuff right just because I memorized the right answer. So I had to change my strategy on the 3rd try. There, I focused on explaining every single answer choice in detail from my own memory. I would also explain everything tangentially related. For example, if the question was asking what phase dominates in angiosperms, I would expand my explanation to what phase dominates in fungi and bryophytes. I tried to avoid rote memorization.
