This is my first (and hopefully last) time taking as well. My study plan for the next 3 weeks...Go through Destroyer twice, read Cliff's AP Bio, Take 6 practice tests and go over answers, and review notes/flash cards daily. I'm probably gonna buy Crack DAT PAT and do that as well. It's gonna be a rough 3 weeks lol.

How does that sound? Crazy, doable, lacking anything??

did anyone make flash cards for bio and did you find them helpful? I just spent the whole day cutting up gen chem review questions from the kaplan blue blook and pasting them onto note cards with solutions. It was a pain in the ass but i think its going to be worth it because i'll be able to review all the most important gen chem concepts multiple times during the day. I should have made flash cards for bio a month ago but the thought of making flashcards for over 500 key words was daunting. As for o-chem, i'm running out of ways to study. I still have 2 topscore exams to go through and destroyer is just meh... I have the kaplan online course and have done the ochem subject tests a couple times each. I have taken the dat b4 and can say that those subject tests are pretty accurate to the real thing.

Last year, I went crazy making all the bio flash cards from cliffs, destroyer, kaplan, achiever, topscore. Made abt ~300. I felt like I wasted so much time. This time NO FLASH CARDS at all.

good luck to all you July test-takers.

about the flashcards...I found Kaplan's flashcards to be really helpful if I was riding somewhere or just "relaxing" from studying

July 28th Monday!

I'm just wondering if it it too late to be considered as the first interview applicant.
Is July still early enough to get interview in Sep/Oct?

July 28th should be fine as long as schools are only waiting for your scores, and already have everything else.

Yes, all the other things are done (checks, AADSAS application, transcript, and Letters)
So only DAT score to go.

I know Case starts inviting students now.
What about Upenn, Columbia, NYC, or BU?

Wow it feels really good to hear that I'm not in this alone. I'm really sad to be missing out on July 4th celebrations though 🙁

I don't know about anyone else, but I am beginning to freak out. It kind of just hit me today that I only have three weeks left which means I should be in my review phase...yea right. Question, do you guys study each subject (excluding RC) everyday for a short period of time or do you concentrate on two subjects a day?

count me in!! i was supposed to take it this week but unforutnately i wasn't scoring where i'd like to be. i took topscore 1 and scored 17's on all sciences and i am aiming for 19's so hopefully three weeks will be enough to score around there. i also need to work on my QR which i think is doable because i have time now! i will be taking it for the first time on the 27th and i can't wait to get it over with. i e-submitted my aadsas app today do you think it's still considered 'early'?


also for people with DAT destroyer how did you use it to study?? how many questions did you do per day?? thanks guys i know it's a lot of questions but replies are appreciated!
