Also, is it better to finish one subject and then move on to the next subject OR go through one material and after I finish that material go to the next material?

Any other recommendations?

If you keep up with all the reading in your Kaplan Course and do all the practice tests, then you can use that to gauge your weak/strong areas. From there you can decide if you want to go through Cliff's and other stuff that you will have covered in Kaplan. In my opinion, you won't need to use Organic Odyssey (Destroyer will cover O Chem well enough). Also, a lot of this depends on when you're taking the DAT. Don't get too much study material or you'll end up finding yourself scrambling to get through all of it, when the reality is that if you know Kaplan and Destroyer cold then you'll probably do better then if you only know a little bit of each of the study materials that you listed.

Find out what your weaknesses are first, then customize a study schedule that focuses on those subjects, while also allowing you to review (keep your mind fresh) on the subjects you're good in. And don't limit yourself to one subject at a time, you'll more then likely get bored with that and find yourself not staying as focused.

Good Luck!

How often should I take a full practice test? Weekly? I will be studying for about 3 months.

I took them every 2-3 weeks at first... then about every 3-4 days during the last few weeks before my exam. Others may have different opinions, so it just depends on how comfortable you are with the material at that point.
