Campbell's Biology Substitute?

[FutureDentist17]

Has anyone ever used these powerpoints? If not, could somebody who has used Campbell's take a look and let me know how closely they correlate with the text? Thanks in advance!

I used these in high school, they're pretty useful for reviewing the Campbell's material.

I don't recommend anyone to actually go through and read the entire Campbell's textbook to study for the Bio section of the DAT, so these would be a fair substitute. Combine them with Cliffs + Barron's + Destroyer and you should be set.

Okay great, thanks! So, is Barron's necessary if I already have these, Cliffs, Chad's, and Destroyer supplemented with my Biology textbook?

I personally didn't use Barron's for the DAT but I've heard only good things about it, so it's probably worth the investment. The other three resources were severely lacking in a few anatomy sections but I'm guessing these notes might be able to plug a few of those holes.

yeah I was going to ask if it is really necessary to read a 900+ page bio book to study for the DAT. Did anyone find the campbell's material overrated in their studies. I think I might just stick with Destroyer + Cliffs + Barrons (is Kaplan useful too?)

Not at all.

Campbell's slides were decent for reviewing a topic you needed reinforcement on. If you're a visual learner, Craig Savage's youtube videos are top notch and can be watched @ 1.5x speed to save time.

This site of narrated animations is useful for quick review as well: http://bcs.whfreeman.com/thelifewire/content/chp00/00020.html
