What is the most efficient way to study for the DAT in a time period of 1 month (over christmas break)?
I plan on studying 8-10 hours everyday. Should I only study one topic at a time, like...one day study Ochem, then the next day study PAT? Or should I study every section per day? AHHHHHHHH!!!

Or maybe trade off every other day:

one day do....QR, OCHEM, MATH,

the next day do....GCHEM, BIO, PAT

One month = 4 weeks. Let's see.
First of all let me say that it is the quality of work u get done during your hours of study, not quantity. 8-10 hrs seem ridiculous, even if you only have 4 weeks.
I would suggest at least 4-6 hours per day. I made a schedule and stuck to it.
Monday - Saturday. Each day for a different subject and one day for practice test. On a Sunday you take a break.

Note: Everyone's study habits are different. What may work for one may not work for another.

Good luck

Hey!
Im actually doing the same thing, taking my DAT in January however, I have been studying on and off for about 5 months and going to go hardcore this month.
From what I have read on SDN and my own experience you should definitely switch up days. I found it easier to do one subject i didnt like(Perceptual) with something I did (orgo) on the same day. Also, alot of people say that the last two weeks is when you should take the achiever and topscore tests.
GL!
