If you can only PAY for one thing, I would vote DAT bootcamp!

However, if you are open to invest in other resources I recommend:

Chad's videos
DAT bootcamp
DAT destroyer + Math destroyer bundle
Feralis notes and/or Cliffs AP bio (you can find these for free online)

Thank you. I have heard about DAT bootcamp. I was just thinking of the time since it is only good for 6 months.

I'm canadian and not familiar with the quarter system.

I'm going to assume that taking the DAT in the "last quarter" means you are taking it in the summer? If I recall correctly, DAT bootcamp only lasts for 3 months, so you will have to wait until 3 months before your testday to buy it.

However, if your test is far away and you still want to study now, there is SO MUCH you can do before buying DAT bootcamp. In fact, you should do content review (in my opinion) before touching DAT bootcamp.

So in the meantime:

-Brush up BIO: Cliffs or feralis
-Brush of CHEMistry and math: Using Chad's
-Maybe do some destroyer questions

Then 3 months before test day:
- Bootcamp it up and start preparing for PAT (The above resources don't have any PAT stuff as far as I know)

However, depending on your background, studying this far in advance may be overkill and could honestly just lead to undue stress and burnout.

+1 for DAT boot camp, combined with DAT Destroyer series.

I would also self study and make your own notes from the source material if you have many months to spare, as I found the process helps with retention.
