Hello everyone. So i took my DAT in September, and got an 18. I am retaking it in December. What would you guys recommend that I do differently. My studying was not as organized the first time, and I went over destroyer only once. Bio was my lowest section along with QR. Now i am following Ari's 10 week schedule, and I do feel like I am understanding the concept better. I studied all summer, but I was very nervous when I went into the test, which affected how I performed. This time I gave myself about 10-11 weeks. Is that enough time?
I really need advice on how to improve my Math and Biology scores

Materials that I am using.
Cliffs
Ferallis
Destroyer
Chads
Qvualt, Topscore, Achiever, Bootcamp for practice
 
Looks good. Study materials on point.

10-11 weeks is probably longer than you really need, but the extra time is always nice. Remember to not go crazy during the study process. Take breaks every now and then.

Just a few questions for you:
What materials (other than destroyer) did you use to prepare for your first exam?
How long did you study?
What were your scores for each section on the DAT?

So I used the same material but I did not do chad's quizzes and i only went through destroyer once. I started studying in june but it was not organized and took breaks in between because I got really sick. It was just all over the place. and i neglected bio. I got an 18 in orgo and gen chem. 17 in bio and math, and 18 in reading and PAT.
