Took my DAT this past Wednesday and very happy with my scores. I've been out of school for 3 years (Graduate school) and hadn't taken my general chemistry, bio, ochem since 2007. It's been a ride for sure but I wanted to thank everyone on here for their advice and help. I'll write a longer breakdown later, but I would highly recommend DAT Bootcamp and Destroyer. I studied for about 2.5 months, and about 2 weeks prior to my exam I studied 10+ hrs a day. Practice, Practice, Practice! My best piece of advice is to stay organized and to not give up. Towards the end I literally felt like I learned nothing. I spend hrs on Bio, Ochem, then PAT, and finally Math. Once I got math down, I felt like I forgot Ochem. Just keep practicing and you'll be amazed how much you remember! Good luck everyone and please let me know if you have any questions!

Did the dat get easier or is everyone on here just really smart?

DAT did not get easier. People just tend to post more when they score high. People who don't score high don't usually post.

Very true.

I don't believe the exam has gotten any easier, but the average score has definitely gone up over time. I think this can primarily be attributed to newer and better preparation material available to students.

I agree, the DAT isn't getting easier. It's just people with high scores tend to post more likely, partially due to certain "DAT prep companies" paying people to post reviews here.

Also, people just like to brag or update others that they have been in contact with through SDN (which was the case for me). I was not paid, but I am glad that I checked SDN for advice on useful prep material. I used a variety of sources and am happy with the outcome.
