GOLF, what are you doing in your last two weeks? What is your status on your studies? For myself, I've gone over the whole sciences and PAT, but have not yet touched RC and QR. I'm pretty good on PAT, OChem, need to brush on GChem in the next three days, and I'm always sketchy about Bio because it's never consistent, you'll never know what bone you'll get thrown. I'd really like to know your status/what you're doing. Thanks.
in my last two weeks im just getting through the destroyer. yesterday i knocked off the rest of the organic section and ill probably try to get through the rest of the destroyer tomorrow because i only have a little left with the other sections. bio i think i still have about 100 probs tho. im doing a full length practice test every other day (doing topscore 2 today). i haven't really focused on isolating my rc - my scores for RC are staying up there in the 22, 23s with good old search and destroy method. i think i might try a mix of mapping and search&destroy on the RC section of my practice test today though. I'm also trying to hit CDP tests every other day - i have the 10 test pak and i've been just selecting "random test" on there and taking whatever they give me. i've taken at least 7 or 8 CDP "random tests" so i don't really know my scores for test 1, test 2, etc. my PAT sections on practice tests seem to hover around 23. I think next week i'm going to try and go through the destroyer one more time, at least the bio section.
i've been keeping a marble notebook filled with all the errors i've made on practice tests and in the destroyer and all the stuff i think i might forget. i just look over that thing while i'm at work or just eating dinner or something. i've read the kaplan blue book cover to cover, but it didn't help - i think the way to go is the destroyer, just doing all the problems in DAT-sized portions and reading each explanation and keeping track of things you didnt know or might forget in some notes.
i haven't actually signed up for the DAT yet, but i was planning on taking it the week of the 20th or 27th - depends how good i feel after this weekend. i'm really feeling good after this past week of studying and hopefully this practice test im about to take will be alright and not just abuse me.
i have a feeling the QR section on the DAT is going to be a monster - not because of the difficulty for me, but because of the time - i make *****ic mistakes sometimes with my calculations and get tangled up in the numbers and end up wasting time for nothing.
the qr section in the destroyer seems like good practice, though i don't know how it compares to the real DAT.
bottom line, im basically gonna try to get through the destroyer a second time this next week and hammer practice tests and a CDP test every other day along with this destroyer junk. keep me updated 5k9; this forum has helped me feel better about my own DAT studying and seeing that i have company in this uncertain terrain is slightly reassuring.
