Hey guys! So I just graduated from undergrad and plan on taking a gap year (or two) to strengthen my application.
Now that I have more time, I’m finally going to start cracking down on dat studying.
My question is: what are the best resources for the dat? I heard dat boot camp is good and also crack the dat?
I would like to try to take the dat in about 2-3 months, so please let me know what worked best with you guys (and maybe some study strategies as well?)

Thanks so much!

Forum Members - DAT Summary, Tips, & Tricks

Hi all! I think it would be helpful to have everything* that is useful in this forum put together in one easily accessible thread for everyone to use. I'll also be adding links to products so people know what sorts of materials are helpful for the DAT. Signing up to take the DAT: 1. Read these...

Compilation - DAT Breakdown Collection! 2018-Present

In keeping up with changing things up around here, I thought it would be fitting to start a new breakdown thread! Reasons for this are 1) the DAT changed last year, specifically in the QR section (trig/geometry were removed, and QC was added), and 2) there have been tons of crazy new breakdowns...

From my experience, I think the destroyer will work best for you.
I used Bootcamp and it made me feel pressured during the 3 month subscription. I know it includes every topic but if you use the destroyer it will solidify the science concepts way better getting you a higher score.
For PAT you can use PAT Booster. For Math the Destroyer

I am not sponsoring anyone I just used bootcamp twice and i scored a 16 AA and a 17AA on both.
Right now im using Destroyer books and they have been helping so much to actually understand the concepts and not just memorize.


These are math videos made by Dr. Romano, he is the creator of the destroyer books.

Welcome to the forums! I just want to restate what @k_torr_dz said... the Destroyer books and everything by Dr. Romano are the way to go for the sciences and math. The daily readings he posts in the study group are nearly identical to what I saw on the actual DAT, and I ended up scoring a 30 in that section (see my breakdown for more details). For PAT, there's plenty of free tutorials and problems on YouTube. If you don't find that enough practice (which I didn't), I used PATBooster. Hands down best program for the DAT, far more representative than Bootcamp as I've heard (didn't use BC myself besides their first practice test). I ended up with a 25 PAT.

If you want more information on exactly how I studied, feel free to check out my breakdown. I made it super detailed to help people just starting out like you. Let me know if you have any other questions!

ChemistryDentist's 2019 DAT Breakdown (27AA/25TS/25PAT)

Hi everyone! I've been a longtime lurker on SDN and have used a ton of advice from those in this forum, so I really thank you all a ton for everything. I'm writing this breakdown to give back for all the help I received, and to hopefully help some people who were more tight on money like myself...

DATDestroyer and PATBooster give the best results, I've never seen any students do poorly using those 2 resources. There's also DATBootcamp and CracktheDAT but I'm not a fan of either of those since they are ridiculously overpriced.

Agreed. BC wasn't representative from what I saw with the first free test, and CracktheDAT was both not representative and expensive. Highly recommend NOT using Crack nowadays, even if it was once good.
