Hey,
My DAT is scheduled for June 27th, and I'm getting so nervous! I've been trying to study everyday by tackling a different subject each day. I read through and outlined the Kaplan BB and Cliff's Bio. I'm working on DAT Destroyer right now, but I'm having a really hard time. I'm really struggling with the bio section because I can't seem to hold any of the material. I also plan to do CDP and Topscore. I have about 3 weeks, but it doesn't seem like enough...What do you guys think I should do?

Thanks! 🙂

Im in the same boat! My test is actually a day after yours (28th). Did you take notes on all 300 pages of Cliffs AP Bio. Im trying to get things to stick too. Are you doing all subjects a day or just 1-2 a day?

For me, I try to review what I went over the following morning rather briefly to try to lock the info in my head.

I'm scheduling mine early July. What I do to retain info for example for gen chem, is I have a large note card with all of the equations on it that I review (I also do ochem rxns, notes from bio, math equations) at the beginning and end of the day. I don't write down the stuff I know I will remember, only stuff that has a tendency to slip my mind later on. After a few days of seeing it over and over, it starts showing up in my dreams lol.

Relax, try your best, and if a week before the exam you still don't feel confident reschedule your exam.

Yeah, I outlined basically all of Cliff's Bio. I've been just focusing on one subject a day. How about you?

Is schaums bio a good substitute for cliffs bio?
