Dentalwork's 8 week study plan

[Eri3]

Has anyone done this study plan with a job? I work as a server and most nights I work from 4 till 11 6 days a week. Sunday is my day off. However, on saturday's and sundays I have another job. So on saturay I work from 7 am till 11 pm. and on sunday's from 7am to 4 pm.

I would like to retake my DAT in a little over 8 weeks since I've to substitute for the saturdays. Is it possible to do this study plan with the amount of time I have?

Also, on my DAT I had a hard time with angle ranking, hole punching TFE and Key holes. The studyplan recommends Crack DAT. But i've been told that it is not representative of the real DAT bc it doesnt have many problems with the weird 1/3 folds.
Someone recommended that I would benefit from Qvault or topscore? What is your opinion?
I would greatly benefit from a program that offers strategies and techniques along with realistic practice tests.

I tried the program at first, but I ended up swaying from that study method. You'd be surprised at how much material you can get through with efficient studying. You just have to be efficient. When it's study time, you just study. No facebook or anything like that.

I worked in the evenings as well. So I made sure to start waking up early to study. I worked from 4-10 most evenings. So I was usually up and studying by 9 at the latest,

As for PAT, I thought my PAT test was harder than CDP. Some people say that it was similar. Not the case in my experience. I did not take any of those two for PAT, so I can't recommend anything. I hear Bootcamp has PAT now and the explanations are good. If I were to retake the DAT today, I'd probably try their PAT stuff. Their science stuff is top notch.

Alright since it is doable then I should be ok. I just started thinking that it may be too much since some people were saying that they studied 8 to 10 hrs a day.

The only reason I'm a bit worried about bootcamp pat is bc they don't offer any videos on tips or strategies. I would greatly benefit on strategies- especially on TFE, pattern folding and key holes.

My strategies with cube counting, angle ranking and hole punching are good. It's just that on the real DAT I got surprised by the difficulty of angle ranking and the weird folds on hole punching.
