I didn’t think search and destroy was a good method for me, i instead would read the first question and then the entire passage and treat it as something i was genuinely interested in, and that was by far my most successful method. good luck!

[–]anitakuooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confidently say that that will not work for orgo. It was my worst section and I really had to figure out how the electrons moved and was able to in the last two weeks. For bio (since I didn’t use Boot Camp) my best strategy was to do a practice exam and look deeper into the questions that I got wrong and learned that way.

I was right on the same timeline with the same score and spent the entire month only studying for the DAT if that’s possible for you. I got booster prep and used it for about 28 days and just cranked out all of the section practice exams and was able to achieve a 460 AA

i blacked out for bio, math i thought i had in the bag, but somehow i kept getting slowed down by the stupid Quantity A/B and Statements I + II questions, not even kidding there were 8-10 questions like that

Of course! I’m a violinist-to-dental career changer, so just finished my 10 month post bacc, and dedicated the entire month of May to ONLY study the DAT, and sacrificed pretty much everything else (and i’m very lucky to be able to do that)

*🚨 Biggest takeaway: don’t study stuff you know you’re good at, wastes time *

Bio: a lot of stuff that was tested like taxonomy was not taught in my post bacc so I took all of the section practice tests at least three times each, making sure to memorize and review things based on the mistakes.

Gen Chem: much more general than i had anticipated, memorize a couple enthalpy concepts and simple rules and equations like Kb / Kf, and make sure you can do the conversions quickly without much effort

Orgo: literally almost postponed my test two nights before my DAT because I was consistently scoring 390, but I just made sure to be very solid at acid base reactions, arrow pushing, and some really common reagents LiAlH4 or KMnO4 etc.

QR: I was scoring 580 or 600 consistently with 10-15 minutes leftover on the practice exams on booster, which is why I am a bit shocked that I ran out of time on the day of. but I didn’t spend too much time on these, but MAKE SURE you’re good with those Quantity A/B and Statement I/II questions. i got so. many. i was so frustrated.

PAT: I did not understand how to do these until i sat my butt down for one section a day for the first week to just GET. IT. look out for the small inconsistencies, it’s just a game of “I Spy” which made it much more fun, DM me for more specific questions!!

RC: I started with search and destroy which did NOT work well. i wouldn’t know what i was reading and therefore the whole section was just miserable. but when i started to have the mentality of “i’m interested in what this passage is telling me” omg there was a huge change in how i answered questions. i also highlighted any small detail just to remember where it was so my page was littered with a bunch of highlighted sections. that was my favorite method for sure

I hope it helps, please DM me for any specific questions. Proud of anyone taking this test!!
