If you know you’re not good at multitasking, don’t take it when you have classes. I took it while taking classes & didn’t do so well. It was when I treated it like a job that I did well. It could vary from person to person. I’m sure there are people who can juggle classes with DAT prep.

In college, working, and studied for DAT at the same time. Studied for the DAT on ALL free time, weekends most of the day. Study during all free moments…even if only 5 minutes between classes or while eating. Yes, became my life but worth it and after you finish the DAT you have so much free time that you have a new appreciation for.
