Okay so is it just me or are there numerous errors in the Barron's practice DAT tests? I mean from 5 bonds to carbon to switching 2+ to 2-...it just sucks going over because you see all these mistakes. Let me know if you guys thought the same!
 
I would have told you to save your money...that book was so god awful bad. Even the PAT stuff is horribly wrong in some areas. Use the practice questions, but mainly thats about all its good for. Invest in Cliffs AP biology instead
 
Yeah I bought it mainly for review and to understand the PAT section. It can with tests so I decided to take one and there are SO many mistakes. Kinda sucks..good thing I have other resources! 👍
 
In my opinion, there is nothing better than crack DAT PAT and Kaplan BB to prepare for PAT section.

Although people said angle ranking in actual DAT was as hard as crack, I found it much easier than crack especially because the size of picture was at least 3 times as big as what I saw in crack.
 
Yeh I wouldn't recommend barrons, when I started with it last year, I stopped after a week cause it just had too many annoying errors. I didn't trust it anymore

For PAT, nothing, and I mean NOTHING out there beats crack dat pat. You can start with KBB as a introductory section for PAT, but KBB woun't be enough to hit 19+ on this section. You need crack to get to the 19+ mark
