Hi everyone,
so I will be taking my DAT around June or July of 2019. I am taking cell biology and biochemistry next semester since those classes will reinforce biology concepts that I need prior to the DAT. I decided to do some light review right now just to have an idea of what i need to work on the most..... and realized how bad I probably will do in the DAT if I dont study for the appropriate time.
right now I am reading through the AP biology book which is not too bad but some of the little definitions I definitely mix up (stuff from biology 1 and 2). I also did some DAT math from a youtube channel that is free, from "orgo tutor" and then I realized how much math I forgot, seriously I feel so behind in math. I also did a practice reading exam on bootcamp with their free exams and did below a 15 on reading (I was not surprised reading is my weakness) and I also tried the general chemistry exam and did not finish it because I did not recall how to do anything that I was asked for. All this made me realize how much I need to study in so little time and I wanted to hear some advice with what I should use and if the same thing happened to you guys. I just ordered the DAT Destroyer and Math Destroyer to enforce my math concepts but I am not sure if those books teach you are are only questions. I am also planning on doing one reading practice each night from the DAT bootcamp until I get the hand of reading comp. But what surprised me the most was how badly I did with chemistry, I usually am good in chem but I have not seen it in a good minute.
my plan now is to continue reading and taking notes of the AP Biology book 3rd edition, and learn as much math as possible during this winter break. I also wanted to purchase coursesaver since it has some general chem and math form Chad but I feel like those videos are not updated, probably from 2014 around the time my brother took his DAT.
What's worrying me right now is how behind I feel with all this material and then i might have limited time during spring and then 2 months to study after im burned out from spring.
The only advantages I have so far is organic chemistry and PAT I did very well in organic and know it well and the PAT is really easy to me. but for the ones I am struggling on what do you guys think I should do? how should I study? and also, I heard there were anki decks for AP biology 3rd edition in bootcamp for free but I dont seem to find them, I would like to test myself with some questions.
Thank you all! sorry for the freak out and bunch of questions!
