Where would you start with for PAT if you have never been exposed to it ever? Would you just dive in a try CDP?

I would recommend watching some videos before you dive in. If you go on youtube, you can type in DAT PAT and you will see videos for each section.

I doubt anyone who's taken the DAT has had previous exposure to it really. I started by looking over KBB's PAT section, it's very easy so it's a good place to start for the first time. Then I looked up various strategies that have been recommended on youtube as game33 said. After that, hit CDP.

Thanks for your advice 🙂

I started with KBB as well and the CDP video tutorials were helpful too

I tried researching all the different materials to see which was best, and nothing but CDP had good reviews on amazon. I bought it and it's alright to start with, but it won't prepare you for the real DAT. I really like DAT Bootcamp's practice, and I've heard Achiever is good as well. Both are difficult, but good preparation.

I don't wanna step on everyone's toes that says CDP isn't enough, but i think if you get really good at applying what you learned from it, it still works for tackling the tougher questions. Might just be because I'm good with perceptual ability but I got a 25 only using CDP and finished with probably 15-20 minutes to review marked questions on the real test. Again, just want you to hear both sides of the CDP argument.
