Advice on DAT

I purchased the Kaplan DAT study guide a while ago and don't find it that helpful and the clarity is low. The introductory biology and general chemistry textbooks I have seem much better. What are other peoples thoughts on the Kaplan DAT; should I try to master the material on it or only use the practice tests after I learn the material in my textbooks? Any general advice about the DAT or preparing for it?

Thank you very much!

Kaplan's a good starter to introduce you to your prep.

Additionally, you need to move this thread to the forum with DAT in the name.

I used the Kaplan book, Cliffs AP bio, CHADs videos for chem, O chem and math, DAT destroyer, Math destroyer, and DAT achiever (there are better DAT sims out there). I made note packets for each section of the DAT and combined all the material from each source so for the last month or so of studying this is all I needed to look at. I don't think kaplan is comprehensive enough to get a high DAT score, but it does have things other sources don't. I got a 23AA/22TS, I screwed up gen chem so my scores should have been higher, oh well.
