I've got around 2.5-3 months until I take the DAT but I'm wondering how long chad's vids take to get through. I've got a pretty solid background on gchem (at least I think I do) but I haven't tested it out on any practice tests yet, would chad's videos be of any use for me in 3 months or would I be better off reviewing KBB and my old Gchem text?
 
I got through every single gen chem and orgo video in a little less than 2 weeks, probably 10-12 days.

the key to using chads videos is to take very detailed notes as you go along. this will #1 help you retain more of the information by consciously writing it down and #2 give you a place to reference if you forget something, as opposed to having to find out which video contains the info you need and then going through it again to find what youre looking for.

I probably went a little overboard, but between both chem sections I had over 220pages (front only) of notes that i wrote out. 90% was stuff I already knew but writing it down really helped ingrain it in my head to the point where certain concepts became second nature
 
It took me every bit of 1 1/2 months to get through chad's video at 4 hours a day. I also took very detailed notes.. The gen chem went by in 2 weeks, organic took me 1 month
 
I focused on each chem for about three weeks to a month each. During that time I watched Chad's, read my text book, and read KBB trying to repeat the same information with different wording for each section. I also took a lot of notes.
 
There is also a fastplay option, it plays the videos at around 1.5X speed. Saves you some time on the sections you only need a refresher.
