I am looking for advice from anyone in a similar position. I work Monday-Friday 8am-5pm and I have a wife and 6 year old. I am looking for advice from anyone with a similar lifestyle for studying for the Dat. Sample study schedules I have seen usually require 8-12 hours a day which isn't feasible for me during the week. Is there anyone out there that has a similar situation that has taken the DAT or is going to be taking the DAT? Any sample study schedules anyone could recommend for me?

It appears from your post you are a non-traditional student. I have worked with a lot of students in your situation through the years, message me and I would be happy to offer some advice, etc.

My cousin actually was in almost the same situation when taking the MCAT. I helped with babysitting a lot in those days! I was there probably 6 hours or so on the weekends, where he just locked himself up to study. At other times, he wanted to keep his daughter involved, so she would sometimes read simple flashcards that he made to test himself on concepts, or he'd print molecules for her to color while he studied Chem, etc (you could print PAT coloring books!). It's going to be difficult, but possible – I think MCAT and DAT are quite similar in terms of the amount of studying required. I'd say come home from work, rest and have dinner with the family, then study from 8pm-10pm every weeknight. If you can manage blocks of 3-4 hours on the weekend days, it's good to practice getting your stamina up as often as possible too. I'd also get an app you can do quick flashcards or practice q's on during lunchbreak, commutes, standing in line, etc. You'll have to make use of every spare moment!
