Hey guys, I'm currently studying for the DAT (I'm following the 6 week guide by dentalworks with some modifications)

I was planning on putting off the DAT destroyer / practice tests until the last 2 weeks when I finished reviewing all the concepts, but I wondered if it would be smart to save all the practice tests / questions until the last two weeks before my exam. Would you guys suggest reviewing all the concepts before doing questions or doing questions/tests periodically while reviewing concepts?
 
I say you should do them once you are feeling confident about the material, but make sure you have enough time to review the things you will miss. Because you always end up findiing new things you didnt know. So yeah!
 
Use practice tests as a "benchmark" of your study progress. Once you take one practice test, you can evaluate which areas you need to study for/which areas you don't need to study for. Aim for some sort of score improvement on each consequent test.
