How should I go about studying general chemistry?

I have the following resources: Kaplan Blue, AP chemistry prep book REA and Princeton review, and my college chem textbook.
My chemistry background is somewhat solid, but I do need to polish some areas up.

I have a lot free time. A lot! I don't want to study for this by just doing problems. I want to learn the material properly, but at the same time I don't want to over learn things that won't be on the DAT).

Based on the sources I have, how should I learn GC for the DATs.

Thanks!

Chads videos and his quizzes are the way to go. If you have lots of time I would say understand all the destroyer questions and you should be close to a perfect score in gchem and orgo. I know you didn't ask but MATH destroyer was so close to the real QR that I was mad when I took my test because if I would spent a couple days going over math destroyer I could have got a 20 in QR.

Dat destroyer more for practice problems or studying material? Is it something I should get now or later? I'm in the beginning stages of studying for the DAT.
FYI, I plan on taking the test in a couple of years.

Thanks for the responses guys!
