I first took the DAT in Aug 2006. I used kaplan blue book, topscore, and the achiever. I found that the basics needed for bio/gchem/orgo to be covered in kaplan, but they do not give you enough detail to score 20+. You might hit around 17-18ish(which i did) in these sections. The hardest part for me was the math, due to a lack of time not necessarily the questions themselves. So...the only school that Im really interested in, is giving me another chance, by allowing me to take the dats again in march to get my scores (mainly math) a few points higher.
This time around..
I've been studying for roughly 1 month now, and have about 3.5 weeks till D-Day(as i call it). I started off reviewing the kaplan books again, just to refresh my memory. I've been a daily "reader" on SDN and have heard all the great remarks about the DAT Destroyer. I've purchased it, and now for the past 2 weeks been reviewing it slowly. It seems thus far, to have helped me go the extra mile in cementing in the foundations and also expanding upon areas untouched by the other study tools. Hopefully this all works out, this time around, and I won't have to bother studying all summer again. If anyone has any thoughts as to what areas I should really focus on in the math/ochem sections, feel free to let me know.
