I should probably mention that its been 4 years since chem 1/2 and about 3 since i took orgo 1/2. I have been studying for the DAT for about 4 weeks using DAT bootcamp! Unfortunately, i have not been able to keep up with the schedule. I have only been able to do gen chem for the past 4 weeks studying for 6-8 hours a day. I haven't started on biology notes / feralis notes since its very overwhelming and time-consuming. Once I get done with Gen chem im hoping to start Orgo. However, i need to incorporate BIO / PAT ( which is great on bootcamp btw). The first week i tried to follow the schedule but i couldnt. There literally wouldn't be enough time in the day for me to cover the gen chem, make notes on it, do PAT academy, do QR, and then read the Bio notes.Also I already bought DAT destroyer / math destroyer, but im planning on covering that after i get through orgo on bootcamp.



My question is how many hours did it take you guys to do DAT bootcamp? I know most people work faster than me but i find it impossible to keep up. I want to take my DAT in early to late July because i dont feel ready at all. Im stressed because im going for a 20+ to counteract my low GPA. Please give me tips . admittingly i slacked off the first 2 weeks but ive been going at it for 2 weeks at a faster pace than i was the first two and i feel like im not retaining as much. Ive gotten 60/70s on the end of chapter quizzes too, idk what to do. Any tips, will go a long way.

Also is there any biology video playlists that you guys recommend? Videos are my go-to studying method. im really just trying to find a way to speed up my studying time. any tips for that?

As someone who had a low GPA and had to do an informal post-bacc. get a Master's Degree (SMP) AND had a 20+ AA/all other sections with only a few interviews, I can honestly say you're going to need a 22+
