Hello, Can someone inform me on the differences between the 2017 and 2018 versions of the DAT destroyer. I have the option of getting one or the other. I know of changes in the DAT in 2016 that would make a difference, but I am uncertain of any changes in 2018 vs the 2017 DAT. Thank you

Anybody have a link to an anki deck corresponding to each AP cliff bio chapter??? Just downloaded anki and am using a deck somebody uploaded but its based off different materials that i am using.

Hello, I have the option to buy the Combo for $75 for the 2017 version. The 2018 Version online is $200. Money is not a huge issue, but is their a large/worthwhile difference between the two. I plan to supplement these regardless with Bootcamp and other pivotal resources. Also if your name is...

I just took my DAT today and did better than I was anticipating with a 21AA. I wanted to make a brief post to encourage people who are still studying and still feeling like they're not hitting the scores that they want to get on the actual test. Obviously this is just my experience, but I...

Hi everyone, I am in need of some advice. I am applying to dental school this upcoming cycle and was wondering if any of you were successful in your DAT prep while taking a 15 credit semester, working part time and taking a DAT prep course (I will be taking IPrep Dental). My classes for next...

Hi guys, I'm nearing the end of my review stage and will start practice questions soon. I may reschedule my test date based on everyone's input (I'd like to pay the $25 reschedule fee as opposed to the $65). How many weeks is sufficient to go through all the materials in DAT Destroyer (2017)...

Hi guys, I'm a Canadian citizen and I'm going to be writing my Canadian DAT in November. I'm applying to Canadian and American schools (only the ones which say they accept Canadian DAT). However, the Canadian DAT is different from the American since it does not contain an organic chemistry...

So I applied to Dental School, took my DAT (and did very poorly). I applied a week before I took the DAT because I did not think I would do as poorly as I did. But anyway, I had already told myself that I would just wait until next year to retake the DAT and apply again for next cycle. I am...

Before I start… I apologize for how lengthy this post is! I took my test yesterday! I studied for around 10-11 weeks. The first month and a half was inconsistent studying, and I studied between 0-6 hours a day (probably with a mean of 3-4 hours a day). I didn’t crack down until the last month...

Hey guys! I've been trying to find a thread that matched with my situation the most, but I cannot seem to find any. But I really need advice and some help! I was set to take the DAT this early September but I do not feel ready at all. I've studied everything but my scores in QR/Math and General...

Let’s start this breakdown! Study time period: I graduated at the end of May, and after being with family for a week or so, I started to do research about this DAT thing. And if you take anything away from this post, it is this: do research about all the different study materials and...

Based of the forums it seems to be that the dat scores of applicants of this higher are much higher than years past. Is there any truth to this or anyway to find out the average dat score for this cycle?

so i just completed the first 87 questions in the bio section of the destroyer and i only got 53 of the 87 questions correct. I don't know if i should be happy or if i'm on the right track. so far the questions i got wrong were either material i haven't gone over, silly mistakes and things ive...

I understand why the answer is D but was curious about the explanation for why B is incorrect. Answer choice B says that Ethanol/H20 @ ph=10 is not miscible. Why? @orgoman22

So I will be taking the DAT during the first week of spring semester. I will be taking 12 or 15 hours. (genetics and biochem along side 2 or 3 upper level major classes) during the fall semester and need advice in how to go about studying during the semester? I would like to start studying for...

Hey All, Not sure if this is redunandant already but I figured I'd ask it anyway as my first ever post and would love some advice. I am a bit nervous for my DAT tomorrow because I have been trending down in biology with respect to my scores on Bootcamp. I currently have a 3.95 overall gpa and a...

How similar are the DAT bootcamp QR tests to the 2017 DAT? I am doing the new comparison questions on DAT bootcamp and am struggling to understand them. I also am struggling with my timing for the PAT section so if anyone has ANY suggestions/recommendations for what I should do for that, that...

Hi Guys! Your posts helped me get through 2 months of studying, so I'd like to share my own study tips that will hopefully help some of you as well. This is really long, so skim as needed! Background: I finished my DAT a few days ago and scored 21+ in all sections with a 21 TS and 23 AA. This...

Hello everyone! I have been studying DAT with DAT destroyer and cliff notes with feralis. After solving Destroyer once, I am currently doing bootcamp Test for each section. The marks have some severe up and down (19 to 23) . QR is 17:( With ~2weeks left till the exam, I'm planning to finish...

I am in a really strange/scary position.. I took the DAT last year and scored a 17 AA and retook it couple weeks ago and scored a 16 AA (breakdowns are below). I am not sure what went wrong on my second DAT, I used bootcamp, mikes videos, chads, make bio notes etc. I must say....I should've...

Officially done! I can't tell you how good it feels to have this test completed, it quite literally took over my life these past 2 months. During my time studying this forum was my lifeline. SDN would immediately have a response to my most obscure questions, so I wanted to post a quick version...

Hi everyone, I took the DAT yesterday and after seeing all of the 22s 23s 25s on here I felt a tad disappointed that my AA was more average. I wasn't going to do a breakdown or anything but I figured what the heck I studied too damn hard for this test not to feel proud of myself. :lovey...

Hey everyone! I just took the DAT today and I am really happy with my scores. I originally planned on start studying right when I finished the spring semester in the beginning of May, but with procrastination, I ended up starting sometime in June. Along with studying for the DAT, I also had a...

Math Destroyer and DAT BC have similar QR question, but the answers that they have for this specific type of question always differs. Someone please tell me the correct approach, thank you! Ex: 30% pop. loves cheese, 70% (or like 50%) pop. loves yogurt, 11% loves cheese and yogurt, what...
