Hi, I'm feeling utterly lost and stressed over studying for the DAT and would like some advice on how to use the approximately 18 weeks (as of 9/3 when I posted this) I have before my exam to study. My exam is scheduled for Jan 9.
Just to give some background, I'm currently in my 5th semester of undergrad with a major in biology. I'm taking 16 credits this semester and am working 15 hours every weekend. I'm also shadowing a dentist about 4 hours a week, with whom I have a week long mission trip to Guatemala in mid-October.
I plan on purchasing the 90 day subscription to DAT Bootcamp in October and will hopefully be able to follow Ari's 10 week schedule. So far I've watched Chad's GC videos and took notes on them, and am still trying to get through his OC videos. With the new semester having started, it's been a little more difficult to squeeze in time to watch and take notes on the rest of them., but I do plan on finishing. I've started the 2019 DAT Destroyer GC and OC sections and those are going pretty well. I take notes on what I missed and the explanations on the ones I guessed or used a different method for.
I haven't done any review for the bio or QR sections and was wondering what should I do for those? I don't know if I should just power through Destroyer and take notes on what I missed (which has been a lot out of the 60 questions I've done so far for bio) or if I should read Feralis' notes or the DAT Bootcamp Biology Notes.
I really wanted to be able to finish DAT Destroyer (and Math Destroyer) by the time I leave for Guatemala, but with the time it's taking me to do the 20 questions GC and OC and 30 bio in one day (QR was going to come later), I don't know if I'll be able to.
And for RC and the PAT, what can I do right now that will help me get an edge on it before I start Bootcamp and the semester inevitably gets harder?
Any advice is much appreciated. Sorry for such a long post, this the first time I've posted here.
