Study Strategy

Since I'm rusty with my sciences, I was thinking of getting the material list from the ADA website that states what topics will be covered on the exam for each science subject, I figured to read each section covered in my college texts books for Bio, Chem, and OC that is on the list for the DAT sciences, I think that is a lot of reading though, then I will read Schaum's "biology" and "general, organic and biological chemistry", then do destroyer + Kaplan + achiever + topscore, too much lol?

And for the other three subjects, I will split them up on days like Bio + math (math will be SAT and GRE material) on day one, Chem + PAT (still have to find sources, achiever, Kaplan etc) day two, and OC + reading comp (Kaplan and gre material) day three

Anyone have suggestions? Am I doing too much? I'm really rusty, I graduated summer of 05 as a bio major and all the gen chem., bio and OC I took years before that, so I'm relearning a lot of stuff, I'm worried though, I think the materials I learn in month one might be forgotten by month 3, I pray I'm wrong but if anyone else has suggestions let me know…..thanks

take it slow. Do what works for you. You seem to have all the study guides with you especially Destroyer. Just make sure before you sit down to take a practice exam that you feel you are ready and confident. As long as you give yourself enough breaks and proper pattern of study you should be fine. For this exam the more prepared you are the better off you are. You could never be over prepared. That is just my opinion.

This is what everybody else told me to do, this should be no brainer. What ever concepts you are unfamiliar withe in the study guides look to the source i.e. the textbook. Also this site itself has many threads devoted to certain topics just do a search or post a question and you will hopefully get your answer. Good luck
