Does anyone know if I basically memorize Alan's notes (18 pages) would that that be enough to get around a 18-19 on the biology section of the DAT?
 
I'd like to know also. I've memorized them and read them over consistently the past couple of weeks every now and then. My practice test scores definitely went up in Bio after I knew the notes. (Topscore- 18/18/19). But I would suggest doing a lot of practice q's from Bio because I found even if I memorized a fact, I get mixed up between them all during practice. Doing more practice= more learning and Alan's notes are a great base. Just make your own extra bits of notes from things you miss doing practice.
I would love some feedback on the notes also though from someone who has taken the DAT recently. People in the past definitely said Alan's will get you 18/19+....
 
Yea I have a decent background in parts of biology, but not in structures and functions of systems, taxonomy and ecology. I have taken a couple of practice test and scored 16 and 17 in biology.

I am kinda nervous about biology from what everyone says, "It is random." So I havent really studied hard for it, because I do not want to waste my time, and much rather focus on OC, GC and QR.

I was hoping if I read those once in the morning and once at night for the next couple of weeks, I will start improving my scores..
 
It doesn't matter what you studied from, what matter is how much you retained. You must learn to apply your knowledge. Noone can tell you whether some material will get you a good score since it all depends on individual's background, understanding, test taking strategies, etc.. However, I can still say this with confidence that Alan's notes can get you at least 18 IF you understood the concepts. If you can apply the knowledge that is in the notes, you can easily cross 18 in bio section.
 
Where can you find these set of ALan's notes?? 😕😕


Edit: Nevermind, found them!

i mean, yea they're good. but bio is a complete toss up. my score dropped 2 points after using the same materials.

make sure you have a variety of resources. gl!
