I am taking the DAT in a month, and have been studying for about a month...I have used Destroyer, Kaplan blue book, Cliffs AP bio, Exam Crackers bio and gen chem, Crack Dat Pat(have only done individual sections, not a full test), and have the topscore tests but haven't done them yet.
I haven't gone over much math or any thing on reading comp, so I hope to do that in the next few days before topscore exams..

One of my questions: I have only been doing Destroyer for practice questions, but not any of the kaplan subject tests..will this be enough? I feel that I won't have enough time to do everything once I have done topscore. I am kind of afraid I am spending too much time reading material instead of practice problems..

Should I take the topscore tests very soon or wait until I feel ready, which might not be a week or so?
 
one month is a very long time and you can finish a lot in it. But it will go by fast, trust me on this.

Subject tests won't take that long, not more than a few days, I woul suggest them, I find them helpful.
 
Kaplan subject tests are amazing. I hear topscore is weaksauce.

Org Chem in Kaplan is like a duplicate of the real thing.
QR is also really good.
The one thing about Gen Chem in Kaplan are the confusing calculations.. like you usually have to do long division or some lame stuff like that.. which doesn't happen on the DAT.. they give simple numbers or just set up the problem where the answer requires no calculation.
