Hello, so far I have taken my first bio class and I did good but I had to study so much and I wasnt even full time. My problem is I have to relisten to every lecture and it takes me so long because I pause and write down everything and I can't miss a detail because the tests are VERY specific...

Hi everyone, I took my Animal Science genetics course twice already. The first time I got a D and the second time I got a C-. I know some schools recommend not retaking the same class, but to take a higher level course. I don't know what my options would be as I would ideally like to get the...

Hi everyone, I tried looking for this across the internet, but I couldn't really find anything helpful. Would you recommend taking accelerated pre-reqs, for instance an 8 week instead of the traditional 16 week? They are during this upcoming fall semester. I'm thinking about knocking biology 1...

Hi I wanted to make this thread to see if people had content questions for the DAT. I usually learn best from teaching and was hoping people could ask me questions they have. That way, if I don't know the answer right away I can study it and reply, or further reinforce my knowledge! Shoot away...

First off, before I get into the breakdown of my studying, I just want to thank everyone for their helpful posts and keeping this forum thriving and helpful for many! I took the DAT July 27th, I want to help people that were just like me, reading through the detailed breakdowns of others to see...

Hi, I just recently graduated from my high school and started considering the medical career. I went to a professional conservatory and have NEVER taken any biology and chemistry classes. I will be studying at Wesleyan University this fall. I was wondering how hard it would be for me to study...

Hi, So I am taking the DAT next summer and am trying to get these upper level bio courses out of the way. I am taking orgo I/II and A&P I/II for fall and winter semesters already. What order should I take these in? Fall semester: Orgo I A&P I Either genetics, microbio, cell and molec...

Im currently taking my first bio course in undergrad and I like the course however the lab is ver difficult and I we have lab practicals but even when I read the lab manual I still do poor on the practicals because they test for understanding of the experiments and I dont understand the...

Dear Society of medicine. I'm currently a third year medical student, interested in neurosurgery, physiology, histology. I've designed T-shirts with photos of histology slides i captured. Now two of those designs has been released and it would mean a world to me if you would check them out or...

I came across a question that asks me which of the following enzymes are produced in the Salivary Glands. From Cliff and feralis notes, i know it is Amylase but the answer was: Amylase, Lysozyme and Lipase. I thought that Lipase is produced by the pancreas and used in the small intestine...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the berkeley review books for the biology section? I am scoring pretty bad on the passages and I was wondering how does it compare to the real exam? Thanks!

Hello So Dental schools require Biology as a prerequisite, General Biology 1 and 2 usually fill this pre-requisite. Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 DO NOT FULFILL BIOLOGY REQUIREMENT 1 AND 2 at all dental schools. I will add more later, like which schools do not accept AP 1 and 2 as a BIO...

Hey guys, I decided to make an account here on SDN to really get some insight as to what I should do. I am considering to go to school for either an MD or DO but preferably MD because I hear that there's many more options for an MD rather than a DO such as certain specialties like Hematology...

My DAT is in a week and I'm freaking out especially for biology and chemistry. If I do all the bootcamp bio exams and read all the explanations and understand them, would I be in good shape for the actual bio on the dat? I got a 17 on my first and second bio exam on bootcamp, will this translate...

Okay, if anyone can explain this question to me and the background behind it because I am lost to how to understand it 54. A scientist does a study on TCA cycle enzymes, She discovers that a gene for dehydrogenase spans over 4000 base pairs of DNA. She discovered that 7 introns, and 11 exons...

A few weeks until my test and I am majorly sucking at Bio- any suggestions? I have been taking DAT bootcamp bio tests and Dat Q Vault Bio tests- are these similar to the actual test? Thanks in advance!

Most schools still only require the two semesters of General Biology. However, given the new MCAT, how high-yield are courses such as Genetics, Cell Physiology, Anatomy and Physiology of Vertebrates, Microbiology, and Biophysical Chemistry? I'm a Psych major so I would have to schedule these...

Hey guys! For bio practice, I've been using Qvault, Bootcamp and Destroyer. However, my scores/percentage correct for Qvault are much lower than Bootcamp and Destroyer! This is really confusing and worrying me since I've seen that Bootcamp and Destroyer are much more difficult than Qvault. What...

Hi everyone! This thread might sound a bit redundant or even a bit mislead, but I am trying to work out my pre-reqs so I can officially declare myself pre-med, but my school is coming down hard on me to declare my major. So here's my situation. I love psychology. I'm fascinated by the way the...

Hi! I have heard a lot of mixed things as to what courses are sufficient in preparing you for the biology section of the DAT. Initially, I thought that the content of gen bio 1 & 2 would be enough to prepare me; however, I've heard that courses such as biochemistry, immunology, and anatomy are...

Can I get someones opinions about the ty bio notes, chem and ochem notes from DAT Genius? I've started to look over the bio notes and I'm not sure if it's too much overkill.

Hello, I'm going to summarize my future academic path, so you can understand what my goals are. I’m looking for a Psychology (BA/BS), Psychobiology (BS) or Biology (BS) program, as an international student, intending to enroll in a New York City or Los Angeles college, get the underdegree and...

Preface: I hereby declare that multiple majors do not in any measurable way increase your chances of getting into medical school or the MD/PhD program. Do not crucify me. However, one of the biggest slights against modern education is the notion that majoring in more than one thing, or even...

I have done undergraduate research in a biology lab for course credit, and I have also been an undergraduate teaching assistant for molecular biology for course credit. I was wondering if these credits would count towards my science GPA, so I called AMCAS this morning and asked; they did not...

Hi guys, so I'm confused if this would seem odd on the AMCAS or to any medical school. I am currently a 3rd year human biology major but all my research experience includes using excel, gene pattern, heat map generators, R studio, and mainly collecting data from TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas)...

I took the DAT just a few days ago and had at least three questions about taxonomy. I answered every single one correctly because of this document I had made taking information from the Kaplan Blue Book. I want to share this with whoever is interested because I feel like it could help a lot...

I've been working on some practice questions from AAMC question packs and sample test. I found it pretty difficult to organize the actual information on the passage. Having them clearly organized in your head (or on scratch paper) would make it easier to answer the questions. Specially the...

Hello, I need help deciding between a biology major at Hofstra University, a biology major at Stony Brook University, and the 7 year b.s. / d.o. at NYIT. Which do you guys prefer? (Note: Hofstra and SBU both have same costs (20k a year), whereas the 7 year program at NYIT cost around 35k a...
