DAT Study Plan

I am going to start studying for the DAT soon. Unfortunately, the it's been over 3 years since I've taken general biology and general chemistry and organic chemistry. As you can imagine, I forgot most of the material.

I won't be able to invest too much time in the next 3 months because of an intense course load and work. Therefore, my plan is to use Chad's Videos to learn general chemistry and organic chemistry over the next few months while not focusing on other sections of the DAT. I am thinking about buying the 180 day subscription. Afterwards, preferably sometime in the summer, I will begin studying for the test in its entirety. Does this sound like a feasible plan? Additionally, how long do most people study?

I plan to use the following materials to study. If you recommend an alternative study guide, think I am doing too much, or if I am missing something, please let me know. Here are the materials:

1. Chad's Videos (General and Organic Chemistry)
2. Bootcamp (Reading and Perception)
3. Destroyer (Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry)
4. Cliff's AP Biology (Biology)
5. Feralis Notes (Biology)
*6. I am considering purchasing Math Destroyer and Crack DAT Math for the quantitative reasoning section. However, my the time I take the exam, the section may change.

I think you'll do great. If i were you i wouldn't get Crack DAT Math. Math Destroyer is enough. Instead, I would get Crack DAT PAT.

Do people use Bootcamp for all sections, or do you recommend I use Bootcamp just for reading and perception?

Definitely use Bootcamp for all sections.

So, from what I've gathered thus far from reading through threads on this forum, Reddit, and other sources, here is my final plan. Please let me know how this sounds. I want to score ~25, so I am trying to go all in.

I won't use many Crack DAT materials.

For biology: Feralis, Cliffnotes, Destroyer, Bootcamp
Gen. chem and orgo: Chad's, Destroyer, Bootcamp
PAT: Bootcamp
QR: Chad's, Math Destroyer
RC: Bootcamp
