Some YouTube links for the DAT prep:

First some overviews/perspectives:

From someone who was not working but exclusively prepared for 6 weeks: 8AM – 4PM

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juI1CPy5pyQ This is a 10 minute overview by some kid who has already taken the test who has a bunch of useful tips. It is also a recommendation for "DAT Booster", but you can ignore that I guess. She was not working, so her time was exclusively spent on the test itself. Recommends taking practice tests earlier.

If you want a perspective from someone who was working full time while also preparing for the test, you can look at:

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWd_GI6PTk4 This is longer at 15 minutes and she also seems to be a kid who did the test and got decent scores. She talks about some prep sites as well and talks about books she got off of Craigslist so she could take the tests offline. She talks about schedules as well.

Yet another perspective (15 minutes) from someone who has taken it 3 times.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jALMUWWUuOQ Hopefully you don't end up having to redo it over and over again, but in case you need to, you can get her perspective as well. Gives a negative review to Kaplan saying it was "too easy", in her opinion.

For the actual test prep : here are some Youtube prep guides I found:
