hello everyone, my DAT is in six days, I am struggling to figure out how to use the best of my time during these six days. I was taking achiever tests.. But they are very degrading and it wastes almost half my day of studying and makes me tired for the second half. Any advice on the best way to utilize my time for this last week? I have q vault, achiever, bootcamp, course saver, and crack dat.

Thanks!
 
Do you have destroyer? I honestly couldn't have scored as high as I did the second time around if I didn't have destroyer. If you do, I would work on going through it as many times as possible. If not test yourself with the 2007 and 2009 exams!

I saw you did it 8 times in your breakdown. Do you think after 4 rounds it still helps? I did it a second time and missed way less, and I'm wondering if it would be good to do it as many times as you did. I feel like I am only going to do it like 2 or 3 more times maximum.

I'm in the same boat as you.. I like the destroyer I feel like I know all the questions in it already

It's not necessary to do destroyer 8x, but probably 2x max. I went destroyer once, and got a 21 TS. I am retaking it again, but will be going destroyer twice within next 2 weeks.

You should probably build up your endurance, maybe go through Ferali's notes, destroyer (if you have it), DATGenius (I haven't used it very much but it's like Bootcamp and free).

Also I would maybe watch all the chad's videos again and take all the quizzes again...
 
my exam is in a week, im just rewritting my biology, chem, ochem notes, and then doing DAT genius exams and 2007 and 2009 exam.

Yea and the ones I don't know I made into notecards (with some added info). Might be better studying those instead, but many people with 22+ scores had breakdowns stating that they did it 3-4 times.

What else are you doing differently to up your score from 21? 21 is pretty solid in itself.
 
Maybe not do it as many times as I did, but it certainly helped me. And I know it may feel like you know all the questions, but a great idea would be to go over the answer key

Well, I scored pretty low on the PAT. So, I will be using bootcamp and crack dat pat. In addition to that, probably destroyer 2x and work on math destroyer.

I know that some schools don't really care for PAT, but I don't want to take my chances.
 
I would suggest focusing on your areas of weakness. Your strengths are going to be your strengths at this point! Just took the DAT today, and I took the 2009 ADA test three days out; then chose to emphasize the gen chem, math, and PAT.

How was the math?

How did you feel about the math on the DAT? was it hard? what was the best resource you used that helped you the most with the exam

I took a kaplan course, which gave a generalized overview. But, the week before the test I just used the regular DAT destroyer QR and did the 150 or so questions in there; pretty on par for what I experienced at least.
