Hey Guys,

I know this is not a new topic, but I would appreciate your input. I'm taking the DAT again, probably in the end of May. I'm currently in school at the moment too, so I don't have a whole lot of time to study for it, however, I will be making more time for it as my schedule lightens up. My question for you is: how can I make my studying more effective?

My scores first time around were:

bio: 17
che: 17
oche: 20
pat: 20
RC: 21
QR: 16

Should I review the Kaplan book lightly but have a stronger emphasis on working out more problems and taking more tests? Please let me know what you think.

that's my game plan. i learn by doing, so i'm going through my text books working out problems (even if i do need a calculator for some of them). i'm more or less learning the concepts that way i can tackle any problem i come across.

i'm not sure if your school has one or not, but i walked around our graduate library and found text banks for 2-3 gen chem books, and 2-3 orgo books. that's a pretty good find if you ask me. between the two subjects i have over 10000 Q's to practice (yes, ten thousand) if i wanted to. prob overkill, but i'm about to rock this test next time i take it!!😎
