As much as you can. Well there's a schedule (http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=719365) and it tells you to study 6~8 weeks, 8~12 hours a day with no days off.

5-8 hours a day. Sometimes more or less depending if I get a headache or not lol.

Obviously you can't take any regular classes with this kind of study schedule.

FWIW I studied for 4 weeks, 2-4 hours per day. Week 1-BIO, Week 2-Gen Chem, Week 3-Orgo, Week 4-PAT, Math, reading. Sometimes I skipped days too.

thats all?!? how in the world was that enough for all this material? lol

i mean yea you probably took it your junior year after you finished all your pre reqs but still lol. i just graduated college (bio major) and still need time refreshing my memory, although its gonna take a while because i absolutely hated chemistry

I didn't want the DAT to ruin my summer, so I planned it out this way so I could have the time between the end of spring semester and the beginning of summer semester to study. I ended up getting a AA21 which I am really happy with considering the time I invested.
