Hi
I took DAT last year and totally bombed it, had a 17. I am retaking it this year, so which materials and resources should i use? last year i only used Kaplan, which btw wasn't helpful at all.
I bought DAT destroyer and am using qvault, topscore and Kaplan. Any other suggestions? And yah CHADs videos.
So if you used something that helped you improve your score from 17 to lets say in 20s, please let me know. Thanks Yall

All I used were DAT Destroyer, Cliff's AP Bio, KAPLAN Blue Book, and Chads videos. Score very well with those 4 items.

did you practice the questions over and over untill you get them right?
What did you use for PAT? I am having difficulty scoring anything above 65% in TFE and Keyholes

start with CrackPAT if you have difficulties with keyholes and TFE.
their explanation is good.

I primarily focused on KBB but also used barron's DAT book to supplement (sometimes explains things better, has clearer diagrams- DON'T take the tests though, they're full of errors). I also found these notes ( http://***********/dat-notes/ ) and read through the biology ones once or twice to get any information that I didn't know. CDP is best for the PAT....I was getting 18s for the first few, but ended up getting 21s on the later ones and 20 on the actual DAT. I was getting 50s-60s on TFE and Keyhole and I kept reviewing my mistakes and ended up getting 90-100s on both those sections. Just keep reviewing your mistakes and retaking the tests and going through each answer choice and asking WHY this is right or wrong. Hope this helps!

Use Chad's and take notes the whole time. In my opinion it was by far the most helpful thing that I used.

Ok so I am newby in studying for the DAT and will start studying little later in the semester. I've heard a lot about Topscore, Destroyer, Achiever, Crack DAT PAT, and qvault, just curious, are all these books or softwares? Where do I get them from? Thank you!

 

[deeentist79]

Topscore, Crack DAT and achiever are downloadable softwares.
Sadly Top score doesnt work on Macs, unless you use a vine or bootcamp.
DAT destroyer can also be ordered online, they are sets of books. Just google them all and you will find them.
