What is the best way to study? I feel like there is so much between strategy, time management, different material, and then the PAT. With my test being in the beginning of august I feel overwhelmed and I have been studying for over a month. What strategy for studying has worked for you?

I suggest starting with dental work's 8 week program and adjust accordingly. For example, i integrated sample tests, cdr, and qr chad videos.

I would suggest to review all materials quickly, and do several practice problems / practice test for a good month before your DAT. At the same time, learn from your mistakes and read the section carefully on where you made your mistakes at.

I'm following dentalworks program plus adding my own stuff like Barrons, and doubling up on reading Cliffs.

I want to review all the biology/gen chem/ochem material before I start doing practice tests/destroyer.

If you've reviewed everything, start doing practice questions.

I put in about a few weeks of reviewing but it felt like I didn't really learn it until I started doing practice problems to be honest. You really do learn from your mistakes. (It's better to make mistakes now than on your DAT!) so my advice would be: start doing those practice problems if you haven't already done so 🙂
