Guest uofmpredent Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Anyone have any suggestions for good books to study from for the biology and chemistry portions of the DAT? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest uofmpredent Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 What about the kaplan DAT book? Is that comprehensive enough? Anyone do well with that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tonick Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Kaplan is excellent. Also, use a general chemistry text to drill yourself on some extra chem problems to build up your speed. You may also want to consult a general Physiology text (e.g Silverthorn) but the Kaplan book does a great job overall in covering all the bases. It really is right on the mark, and has great Reading Comp practice as well. I used this approach and got 22+ on the science sections, and a 24 on reading comp. I hope you guys do even better. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnwoo19 Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I found Kaplan to be lacking for some biology sections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yuliam Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I also found the kaplan book weak in terms of biology. however the chemistry section was definitely better covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adversary Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I heard of people supplementing the Biology section with Barron's. I can tell you from experience Kaplan books do not cover everything in the Biology section. I found questions on the DAT that I have never studied before. There's always the alternative of buying Kaplan MCAT books. I have one set from my sis, but I lent it to one of my pre-med friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
