My scores:
BIO 23
CHEM 24
ORGO 24
QR 18
RC 21
PAT 19
TS 24
A 22
I attribute my scores to a few things. First of all, I took a leave of absence from my job for 3 months and decided to make the DAT priority number one. The DAT Destroyer and Math Destroyer were my main study tools.
Bio, Chem, Orgo: The DAT Destroyer is phenomenal because it tackles questions in every direction. I made sure to understand every question and read every explanation in the back of the book. While practicing problems, you should make a habit of looking at each answer and ask yourself "why is this answer wrong?" By implementing this habit you made one problem in the book into 5 problems. I needed additional bio material to review and I actually used Exam Cracker Bio section (yes I know it's for MCAT preparation, but it is short and sweet, directly to the point and what you need to know).
QR: I used the Math Destroyer (basically covers almost every type of question and has useful explanations in the back of the book) and Kaplan for additional practice problems.
RC: I am horrible with reading comprehension when it comes to standardized testing. I prepared for this section in less than a month by using Kaplan's reading techniques. I would dedicate 12 min to the passage and 8 minutes to answering the 15-20 questions per passage. I also read small generalized articles on different science and technology articles.
PAT: I used Crack DAT PAT and Kaplan.
I just want to thank the SDN community for everything and I'm writing my DAT study tools and experience to return the favor
