I've been preparing slowly since December 09 to take this test and studying my butt off in the last 2 months. I have topscore, but some people say it isn't close enough to the DAT and the questions are way easier. My main concern is the QR, Organic, and Gen. Chem.

For anyone who has taken the DAT and used topscore, what do you think? Is it enough to prepare me for the style of questions, and their degree of difficulty, that will be asked on the DAT or is there a better software?

Also, I try to cover my "salty" subjects the most (ie: organic, QR, and gen. Chem). How did you guys prepare when it was this close? I feel like What I'm doing is not good enough. 😕

I'm open to any suggestions on the best way to prepare.
 
chill out play some games go out and party, 9 days is not enough to study for the dat unless your like that dude who took 2 weeks

My test is only 5 days away😱 I used CrackDAT, not Topscore. My plan for the next few days is to take as many QR tests as possible to try to get my timing down, review QR formulas like volume, arc length, trig functions, etc, review orgo rxns/reagents, and read from diff bio sources since I had a lot of random bio questions the first time I took the DAT.

good luck!

Well, I hope all works ou with your test...I know I'm stressing and there is NO way I could convince myself to go out and party right now. I def. need to do the same things you're doing though! Thanks for the tip!
