I have both the DAT destroyer and the math destroyer, I am scheduled to take the DAT on July 21. The last few weeks I have just been reviewing materials, and watching Chad's videos. I have a couple of questions for the destroyer though

1. How did you tackle the destroyer? Should I do like 50 problems on each subject a day? or one subject a day?

2. How long did it take you to complete the destroyer? I want to make sure I leave myself enough time to go through it at least once.
 
Your practice should simulate the test as best as possible. Find a quiet desk with no distractions and put 90 minutes on a timer. Start with 40 biology questions, then jump to 30 general chemistry and finally 30 organic questions. After every 100 questions, take your time reviewing the answers. Keep doing this until you run out of questions then start over. You want to hit DAT Destroyer at least twice before your test. Hopefully this isn't the only resource you're using. While it's a great one, you definitely need some foundation first. Kaplan is a great way to start, followed by DAT Destroyer.

First time going through destroyer, it took me a week. Like 100 questions a day. The second time it took me 4 days, around 200 questions a day.

You need to go through destroyer more than once. I went through it 3 times before my DAT. Make time for it ... especially the chemistries.
 
I did like one week ochem, next week chem, the third week QR. The bio questions you can just review as filler in your study program, since there is twice as many of them!
