advice on classes for next semester... DAT in June

[TM27]

Members don't see this ad.

All,

Did a quick search and didnt find specific answers....so any guidance is appreciated.

I have taken the year long chem, ochem, and biology sets. In addition to this I will be registering for 2 of the following next semester...with the DAT scheduled in June. Which are most beneficial for me to take in terms of likelihood of seeing on the DAT?

Genetics
Anatomy
Physiology
MicroBio
BioChem
any others I should consider prior to DAT?

I am not a science major, but will slowly hammer out the upper level pre-req classes as I progress down the business route. In the meantime I am hopeful that with the classes already taken and two from the list above, I will be adequately prepared for the DAT come June (caveat...with lots of studying of course). Thoughts?

Regards,
TM

all these classes in my opinion are important but physiology and genetics and micro are a must......... physiology help me a lot with understanding how the body systems work anyhow i think that is important but that is just me...........

You might want to consider Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, and Developmental Biology. Molecular Biology will help you a LOT.

I'd reccommend biochem and physiology. biochem was the one class that really helped me out a lot when it came to the bio section of the dat and as danbarr said physiology is good for understanding the how the body works.

I haven't taken too many of the classes on the list but I think genetics would be an overkill.. It is a good class to have under your belt before you go to dental school but I don't think it'll help you as much as the other classes.
Personally biochem helped me cause I felt like I could forget a lot of the detail that was required by the course and still have enough information retained in my head for the level required on the DAT.

Biochem and physiology would be my suggestion.

Biochem and physiology would be my suggestion.

I second biochem and physiology as top two courses on that list.
