Hi I am taking the test sometime this summer and I bought the KAPLAN book and a couple of other books and its very overwhelming. Can some of you share some of your methods to studying it and organizing the information? Do you use a schedule? If you've already taken the test I'd love to hear what worked for you best.

Thanks in advance

I took the Kaplan course (spent most of my 2 1/2 months studying at the Kaplan site), used Topscore (a little bit), and referred to my textbooks a little bit. Actually going to the Kaplan center and studying amongst other hardcore test-prep students motivated to study harder than I probably would have at home. Paying $900 hurt in the beginning (credit card debt) but when I achieved a good DAT score it was well worth it. When I was accepted to dental school it was even more worth it.

Good luck! 👍
