How long does it take to study for the DAT? I was thinking about 2-3 months to get everything back down solid. Also, any suggestions on what materials to study with? I used kaplan the first time and I was a little disappointed. (please dont spam this thread with destroyer bs)

2-3 months is good enough.

How much time just depends on how well you know the material ahead of time. I would lean more toward 3-4 months of 4-8 hours of studying a day.
This was my plan of attack take it or leave it..

Begin in April took the test in July. Studied about 4-8 hours a day. 8-10 hours solid a week before my exam.


--Started with Kaplan big book and online materials. Proved to be a good starting point more of a review/overview of the topics covered but not detailed enough. Especially in the biology section.
--Went through Destroyer twice. Answered 15 questions at a time then looked up the answer and all of the wrong answers.
--Used my old organic textbook for further explanations
--Used Campbell's biology textbook
--AP Math workbook
--AP Chemistry workbook
--Audio Learn DAT series (okay for a quick overview)
--Used various online links for science sections

Bottom line plan ahead and take it when your ready. I hope this helps and good luck!!
