DAT Timing/Study Materials

Hi everybody

I'm currently a sophomore who will be graduating next year (one year early. Biology major). I was hoping to take the DAT sometime in early-mid July. I understand the earlier I take it and apply the better, but I'm not sure what you all would consider "late." I'll likely apply with ~3.9 GPA from UW-Madison and I'm hoping to get a 20+ on the DAT.

My study materials are:

Kaplan DAT Lesson Book
Kaplan DAT Review Notes
Cliffs AP Bio 4th Edition
and anything I can google/find on YouTube.

Any suggestions/tips as to additional study materials? Will I need to speed up my timeline for taking the DAT? Does graduating early put me at any sort of disadvantage? And anything else you guys think I would find helpful!

Use the 3rd edition of Cliff's Biology, not the 4th. I also wouldn't use Kaplan, there's far more useful DAT material out there. For content review in chemistry, Coursesaver (Chad's videos) are good. Bootcamp and Destroyer are both good practice.

Thanks for the reply. Okay, I will take a look at the 3rd edition! I just happened to have the 4th edition previously so figured it would suffice. I was looking at ordering Destroyer--DAT Destroyer and Math Destroyer--as it seems those are the most popular.
