Time to form a gameplan...

So I'm planning to take the DAT at the end of September. Even though this seems like a long time away, I'll be doing a lot of other things while I study on and off for about 4-5 or so months. About 3 months before the test, I will take the Kaplan course concurrently with my last quarter of Ochem in summer school.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what kind of studying i should do in the 1 month I have after Kaplan?

Also, does anyone have suggestions for what kind of studying i should do in the months before Kaplan? Destroyer?

As of right now, I own Crack the PAT and Cliffs AP Bio. At what times on my timeline should I use things like Destroyer, Topscore, and Achiever (considering that I only have 1 month after I finish Kaplan)?

Are you applying to this upcoming cycle or the next? If it is the upcoming then September is too late.

Go over what you are confused on and practice tests.

I didn't take the course, but I wouldn't do any studying beforehand. You will get enough through the course and the month after.

That how much time a spent total on studying. Seriously you don't need 4 or 5 months to study. As for Topscore and Achiever, those should be the last things you do to see where you are at. Don't do them at the beginning of your studying because it will be a waste of a test.

Thanks. Yeah I'll be applying next year, so I just wanted to get it done a little early. Any comments on Destroyer? I know its just a bunch of questions. So should I do it in that month after the course? Or would it help me to do it before the course, so I can pinpoint my weaknesses in science?
