Will Chads + Destroyer suffice?

I've watched Chad's videos 3x and have done destroyer 2x. Is this enough for the DAT? I take my test June 3rd, and I am debating whether or not I need to invest in other practice materials such as qVault. Should I waste my time doing qVault's gen chem considering I only have a little over a week left to study? I plan on taking all 3 top score tests next week.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks guys.

Enough for what? Anything could be "enough" depending on what you're hoping to achieve.

People will tell you what's enough based on their situation, but your situation may or may not be similar. I think the general consensus is that Chad's + Destroyer is enough for content review and practice questions in the sciences to get 20+'s.

Have you thought about taking some practice exams? They could be good simulations of the real thing so that you can get timing down and some practice under test-like conditions. You don't have much time, so I'd probably recommend the two released ADA exams at this point.

As far as PAT, how have you been practicing that?

I'll be taking all 3 Top Score tests next week. If I'm doing terrible, I will have to think about rescheduling my exam. Hoping that won't happen because I've been studying for a while.

I plan on ordering the 2009 ADA exam. What other exam is available? I know there is a free 2007 one with sample questions. Is that the one you are referring to?

Yup the free 2007 one is the other one.

It sounds to me like you're on the right track based on what people on here recommend! 🙂

I haven't taken the DAT yet, but have read a million and a half breakdowns in the past week and A LOT of people just say chad's + destroyer + cliff's= 20+ in sciences.

It can be enough depending on how strong your background is. If it is strong and you feel confident in your answers, then you are set.

What else would you recommend for the OP if he/she needs more practice?

Chad's QR, GC, OC along with Destroyer is more than enough. However, if you are using those for PAT and Bio as well..you need to use other materials. DAT qvault is really good for BIO and CDP for PAT.

Depends. If you are consistently answering the questions on Destroyer at an 80% rate or above, and understand all of Chad's quizzes, I think you are ready,

If you can get around an 18 on the topscore sciences you're good to go.

Good luck

Might want to consider Achiever as well. I know people always say how hard it is, and I'll agree that it was challenging, but it was DEFINITELY the best review I could get. My honest opinion is to practice with the worst-case scenario, since this is the best way to toughen you up and prepare you for the real thing, both with material and mentally. Most of my scores (except for QR which went down) went up by an average of 6-8 points from Achiever, which was great.

But yes, the best things for sciences were definitely Destroyer, Chads, and Cliffs. Be sure to utilize Chad's quizzes, as I thought they were pretty representative of the actual exam. And Achiever is GREAT for getting you completely prepared for PAT as well. CDP is great as well.
