What does it truly take to score a 22+ on the DAT?
I know this is a question that is entirely individualistic but I'm just super overwhelmed by all the information I have to memorize and conceptually understand.
Starting tonight, I will be following Ari's 10 week study plan and taking my exam around mid-April.
I have the following resources:
1. DAT Bootcamp
2. DAT Destroyer
3. Math Destroyer
4. Printed out Feralis Notes
5. Chad Videos - Coursesaver
I need your help guys. How can someone with average intelligence score a 22+ on the DAT? To...

Organic chemistry for the DAT
Hi all
So i write my DAT this summer and will start preparing for it this winter break. The problem is i took organic chem about 5-6 years ago and don't really have the basic fundamentals. My question is what is the best source of organic chem you guys can recommend for me to achieve a +20. I know chad is well known but i have a feeling that even if i know everything off of chads videos i still wouldn't feel confident during test day. Should i review mikes videos as well on the dat bootcamp...

OAT Physics
I'm using chad's videos to review concepts, and chad's questions + OAT destroyer for practice but most of the questions are calculation-based and I really hate that, I always run out of time doing calculations even though I know the general concepts and understand them. On the real OAT, is it mostly calculations or conceptual?
Also is using chad's and oat destroyer enough for all subjects? I have kaplan but I felt like the questions/exams were too easy even though the actual material is...

Final Week Burnout?
I am taking my test on the day before Thanksgiving which gives me exactly 7 full days left to study. I'm trying to figure out how to spend the next 7 days and am stressing myself out trying to fit everything in 7 days. That includes rereading Feralis entirely, reviewing all of Chad's notes, Destroyer notes, BC notes, continuing practicing PAT and RC, and taking 2 full tests (test 5 of BC and the 2009)...It's alot since I work full time as well.
I'm afraid of burning myself out in the last...

branched alkane melting point
From Chad and the DAT Destroyer, we learn that more branched alkanes have higher melting points.
However, Mike from Bootcamp shows us that this is only true when you exclude straight chain alkanes because straight chain alkanes have higher melting point than any branched alkanes (for same number of carbons)
Should I just go with the more branched alkanes have higher melting point rule for the DAT? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

OAT Results and My Opinion
Let me start off by saying I studied a lot for this exam. My only two sources of studying were the Kaplan self-paced course and Chad's videos. I subscribed to Chad's videos 3 weeks before the OAT mainly for Gen Chem and Organic. Both of these sources (Kaplan and Chad's) are great and will over-prepare you. The actual OAT was a breeze compared to what I thought it would be because of the over-preparation. I took the exam October 9th, 2017. I studied for approximately 3 months.
I have to say,...

OAT topscore vs. OAT achiever?
I currently use Kaplan, chad's videos/quizzes, and oat destroyer but I need more practice. Should I get oat topscore or oat achiever? Which one is similar to the actual OAT? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

QR Section
So the new updated Ari's Study Schedule uses a compilation of Khan Academy's math videos.
I've used Chad's before and still have his notes but my understanding of QR didn't really improve so I don't really want to purchase it again.
What videos/other resources are you guys using for QR?
(btw, QR is my weakest subject) (Source: Student Doctor Network)

OAT practice test scores - explain
I am 2 weeks away from taking my OAT. I have been using chad's videos and OAT destroyer. I took a practice OAT test using TOP SCORE to see where I stand.
my results: BIO 260/ OCHEM 350/ GCHEM 320/ RC 320/ PHY 250 / QR 300
I did poorly in the bio and physics section. I am trying to understand how the scoring works and how to improve from this. I know that each question is weighted differently on the test but as I was reviewing my answers and I got 20/40 question correct in the physics...
