I'm planning on going through all of these materials before, during, and after the Kaplan Course next summer. How long after should I wait to take the DAT? Is a week after too early or too late?

What materials should I add/remove from my list?

If you haven't paid for the course, i suggest you save the money. I think many people will agree with me that the Kaplan course is not necessary.

As for the prep material that you listed, it really depends on yourself, what level are you? I used the ones that are bolded and it worked out well for me.

Schedule your DAT 2-3 weeks after the end of Kaplan. This will give you some time to finish up all of the online material. In my opinion Kaplan was definitely worth the money for me. I doubt you'll need all of those materials to score high on the dat. (it's not that hard of a test) I bolded the materials I used. For me, those materials (supplemented with wikipedia) was more than enough to do well on the test.
