I hope i'm able to help those starting to study for their DAT. Since i found great advice on these forums as well...

My scores: 22 Bio, 20 Chem, 30 Orgo, 21 PAT, 16 QR, 18 Reading.

I owe these scores to Orgoman's review, and the DAT Destroyer I finished it cover to cover 3 times, and felt the actual DAT had very similar styled questions. As important as doing the questions are, its double as important to carefully read the explained answers in the back. Their detailed and clearly understood, thanks to Dr. Romano. As for my PAT score, i found crack dat pat helped me pace myself and was similar to the real PAT exam. The Math Destroyer was also essential, and had almost identical questions to the exam, despite me losing track of time and getting stopped in middle of my QR section. The studying should me done over a few months, allowing you to fully absorb all the info, rather than cramming it into a few short weeks.
I hope this was helpful. good luck! 🙂

Great Scores, congratulation, How long did you actually study for the exam?
Im planning to put 8 weeks for it, do you think is going to be enough?

So I studied on my own for about 8 weeks as well, but that was in addition to taking the review course. If you have a strong college background, and the sciences are kinda fresh in your mind then u should be fine. 🙂

Nice, Would you mind telling on your daily schedule, how many hours did you study a day, any breaks, what time you start and what time you finish?
Im really having hard time getting to start studying 🙁, therefore, I want to see how you guys done it and try to get an idea.
Also by review course, do you mean the Kaplan course?
I really appreciate your feedback

Im personally a morning person, so tried to get lot of my studying done then, but throughout the day gotta still discipline yourself to keep studying, esp the weeks nearing the exam. Try dividing your day into 3 sections, different subject each section, with breaks in between, that way you can get in around 7-8 hours total. And Was referring to Dr romano's review course.
