Hey, you are just starting out so you should not be too harsh on yourself, I was scoring very similarly in the beginning. I studied for approximately 3-4 months and did pretty well, check out my break down for more details. I think that the best resource that I used was DATBooster as it was the highest yield resource that I utilized. The person who made the Feralis notes actually made a great schedule that also incorporates DATDestroyer which will give additional practice, so take a look at that for a good premade schedule.

Sites like CrackDAT and Bootcamp have pre-made schedules. I felt it worked better for me to find some online and keep them in mind as I designed one for myself.

I had 2 months to study:
1) Review topics (Science, PAT, Math) with Chads Videos and CrackDAT
2) Test Myself with questions with CrackDAT and Destroyer

I got a 25, feel free to ask me any questions!

I like 3 months: 1 month for content review, and 2 months for practice tests and targeted review.

I did not follow any specific schedule. I just had looked at the videos in DAT Bootcamp and spaced it out evenly for content review. I would also use supplementary resources as needed. I would slow down on areas I felt I didn’t fully understand and go faster on areas I was very familiar with. I spent the last two months on full lengths (with time to review select questions at the end) and three passes through DAT Destroyer. Beyond this, I was very flexible with my schedule. Don’t waste time on stuff you are good at.

Oh and we’ll before I started studying for anything else, I was already working on PAT Generators. Start early, find the best strategies for yourself, then get good and get fast at them. That takes time.
