Hi everyone! I am a long time lurker on these forums who is about to take his exam in 5 days! Anyway, I was wondering if you guys think I am ready for the real thing.

Things I have done to study over the past 3 months (4-6 hours a day).

All of DAT Destroyer 3x (90% right on last run).
All of DAT Bootcamp (21-26 in every section on every test).
Every single Qvault Biology question.
Cliff's notes 2x and Feralis' Notes 2x.
Half of CrackDAT tests in PAT and the Sciences (always above 20).
Private tutoring in the sciences (2 hours 3x a week).
2007 ADA test (24 TS 25AA 20 PAT).

At this point I really don't know what to study anymore. I feel like I have seen every question and am just spitting out memorized answers. Any recommendation on what to study next? or am I ready to just take it? Thank you guys very much.

Shout out to Feralis for his AMAZING notes and great breakdown.
 
I will be honest though, I have never taken a full exam without having to go to the bathroom multiple times. A little nervous about that because I visited the testing center and the bathroom is all the way down a long hall and you have to check in/out of your cubicle. Easily will waste like 10 min if I have to go 🙁.

You have put in a lot of hard work and used a lot of resources! You should be good to go!

Wishing you the best!

Thank you so much for your amazing books! I really hope that the DAT isn't as hard as some of the questions in there, but I really feel like the Destroyer was the best resource to prepare me for the exam by a long shot. Well, perhaps second to my actual college education.
 
With those estimated scores and how detailed you've been using all those resources, you're gonna crush it. Keep up the good work and you're going to be very happy in 5 days 🙂

Thank you Ari! The DAT Bootcamp tests were great. Really representative of what I feel like the real thing will be like (PAT was pretty brutal though). I also used your study guide and the generators every morning!

You could run through the ANKI cards of Feralis notes? Since you've read through it twice it can show you any holes in your knowledge if any

I did this. Used the iPhone app whenever I had a spare moment to run cards. Also made my brothers quiz me on the notes themselves for hours. Pretty sure they hate me now.

Yea I've just finished running through all 2600 cards this morning. Started a few months back reviewing 20-50 new ones a day. Now to continue reviewing -_-

Glad you are enjoying our materials and took the time to really go through the work..Studying for the DAT is a lot of hard work but it will pay off. The Destroyer prepares you from the easiest to hardest versions of the DAT!

If you have any last minute questions feel free to post them and we will answer them asap.

LOL, that made me laugh thinking of your bother, he properly knows more bio than he ever dreamed of.🙂

One is only in middle school, so he learned quite a bit. The other just finished AP Bio in High School. We actually read Cliffs and studied together a little.

Dude, I feel ya. I drink a ton of water every day and go to the bathroom all the time. What I did before the DAT was try to go ~2.5 hours without drinking anything or going to the bathroom. Not necessarily even while I was taking a test. Maybe just filling out AADSAS or watching netflix or something. I know it sounds dumb, but once you realize you can go that long without a bathroom break (and you definitely can), you'll realize you'll be able to take the DAT with only one bathroom break in the middle. And since your scores are so good, you'll probably finish sections with time to spare and make your test take even less time and get to the bathroom faster 🙂
 
Quick question for anyone who cares to answer. Running out of time to study and only worried about QR at this point. I did very well on the Bootcamp QR sections but still want more practice. With the time I have left is it worth it to do the math destroyer tests (only did 4 o them), I did however do all of the destroyer QR problems.

I would do about 2 math destroyers each day so that you can hit a little bit more. I heard you don't have to do the entire math destroyer to do well, but it depends how good you are in Math.

I would continue reviewing the science. Just make sure you known all general concepts of everything, and you should be fine! Hoping to see your breakdown in few days. And good luck!

Only have 2 days haha. I did 3 more last night but math burns me out so quick. I will try to cram as many as I can. Any really good one? I did 16 because it says on their website it was designed to be the most up-to-date.
