Hey guys!

I plan on taking the DAT at the end of the summer & have been using Barron's MCAT book to review the science section. I was wondering how the real DAT compares to the level of detail Barron's goes into. Barron's offers alot more detail than I even learned in intro bio. Comments?

Thanks! 🙂

I did use Barron's DAT and found it useful for extra practice, although some are the answer keys are obviously wrong. You can compare Barron's MCAT science content to the ADA's text specifications to decide whether or not to focus on certain sections:

Thanks! My main worry is the level of detail of topics, look at some DAT practice tests it seems like too much info, but I could always be wrong.
