If you have a month i think it's plenty of time to study saying that you've already taken kaplan class and been studying steadily. This is how i studied. I didn't take the class, I just bought Kaplan blue book and topscore. As I worked full time, i studied 4hours every night and took the topscore test on Saturday and usually took a break the whole saturday afternoon for my errands. On Sunday, I devoted the whole day to studying which included going over my test result from saturday, finding my weak points and focusing on those topics while studying. If i remember it correctly, there are three (may be four) full-length tests on topscore, so you need three or four weeks for that. I didn't buy the destroyer, so no comment on that. But I heard for PAT part DAT archiever is good, which i didn't know before and didn't buy =( If you can contribute at least 15 or 16 hours a day as u mentioned, i'm sure you will be well prepared for the DAT in a month. Don't sweat too much about it! Good luck

www.orgoman.com is the site for destroyer. it really helps, and the destroyer people are more than willing to talk to you if you have specific questions. 👍

First of all, I dont think it's about the time you spend studying, but about how much info you procees and retain. I couldn't force myself to study more than 8 hrs a day, and that was on a good day. What i did was make study packets for all of the science sections and memorized them. I memorized all the orgo formulas, bio stuff from kaplan (also used spark notes flash cards), and learned how to do all the chem problems etc. I went over all of this stuff a few times a week to make sure I had it down solid. For practice tests, I did all the kaplan subject tests for science like 3 times. I wish I spent more time studying for PAT, but oh well. I didn't study math since I was doing ok on practice tests, I just memorized conversions, formulas the night before the test. I used topscore, it was alright, perhaps most similar in terms of difficulty. I then used achiever, which i really recommend. I would take it before topscore and learn from it. I mean some of the questions on the real dat were right from achiever, you can't beat that. I don't know about destroyer, but I would get achiever. It's well worth the 50 bucks.
good luck

I haven't used topscore but I did use destroyer and I think it was very helpful. So I would recommend that to you.

I agree that making an outline/ packet for each science section is the way to go. Don't put every single note in it... just the basic concepts and things u don't understand yet.
