Hi! 🙂

Im planning on taking the DAT at the end of august... i've been studying for quite some time now but not religiously.. and with summer classes getting in the way it really hasnt helped at all :/

Since last night i've been searching this forum like a maniac reading everyone's studying habits and material.. lol.. thanks to sl2obel2ts i was able to start my little collection of study materials from the members on this forum. All of the notes i've taken has been written on paper- and i dont know what it is but i can never focus when im typing all my notes on the computer! (maybe because i know i can go online-- which dont get me wrong- is sometimes good (to reinforce your notes)... but 95% of the time the internet leads me to start checking my email-- then checking facebook-- then seeing the latest sales/trends in sephora and bluefly.. and then five hours later i start to panic because i realize i just wasted five hours of my time online lol) so yah.. typing my notes isnt the wisest decision for me.

Anyways- let me get to the point: Because im starting to study for the DAT and in a short period of time (one month)-- im curious to see how many people have done this or are currently doing this.. and what the study schedules are like..

So, if its possible.. comment back with your study schedule, any tips/advice, and the best study materials used. If you have any notes typed, or found notes of other members online and wouldn't mind sharing them...like sl2obel2ts did... please post! i would greatly greatly appreciate it! anything is welcomed 🙂

thanks in advance😀






** Btw i posted something similar in the beginning of june.. ( this was when i was planning on taking exam in july.. but never calculated the studying i would need to put into my summer classes as well..) so just in case this post seems similar.. its probably because of that.. i just figured with the time difference.. maybe some things have changed.. or other members experienced this already during the time gap!

My test is at the end of August, but I've been studying since the end of May. The thing is, I've been working 40 hrs a week in a lab since then, and I will only get like 1 full week of study time before the test (without lab work to do). Eek. So I'm pretty sure if you stay really committed to studying this month, you can do it. Esp if you have a high GPA and work ethic to begin with. I personally hate this study-for-two-months-deal.. I tend to cram for tests!!

I definitely hear you about the internet thing! I always get sucked into perezhilton.com (I'm such a celeb gossip junkie.. hehe) and this website. It's sooo addicting. But then you realize "oh wait, these people did good on the DAT because they were STUDYING!" and you get off and start studying. haha


Good luck with everything!! 🙂
