After every section of the Biology section, do you start taking DAT QVault to see what you learned and not learn?

Or did you read the whole book first then take the exams?
 
I read through Cliffs once and skimmed it once. Then started doing the Q-Vault tests. Throughout the 10 tests I read though my Barrons AP Bio book. I took one test every day and reviewed each answer after every test. About one week before my DAT I read every problem/answer again, then I started with my topscore exams. I took a topscore exam every other day. The day before my exam I reviewed every bio problem I could in destroyer, Qvault, and AP books. I finished the DAT with a 28 in Bio.
 
I did the 1st test one day, next day I did 1st test then 2nd, next day did 1st,2nd, and third test.. etc..

Kept going back everytime I took them and reading all of the explanations and what not. Was scoring 40's on each test after a few retakes.

My Bio score was my worst score on the real thing (18) but thats probably because I read cliffs\barrons 2 months before I took it and didnt make notes so I pretty much just used dat qvault and my memory from being a biology major lol.
 
I got a 28 on the bio section of the DAT. (pleasant surprise) I used DATQVAULT on a daily basis a month from the test. I did one everyday 2weeks before the real DAT. For bio, my approach was repetition. I must have done DATqvault 2-3 times. also, there's a DAT flashcard app in the android market if you've a smartphone.

here's my breakdown.
