hey guys

do you know of any good DAT-prep. book? So far I've used the Kaplan DAT 3rd. ed. which i think is poor with only couple real tests and 90% of it being just review of the material (bio, chem, etc.).

I think Barron's DAT is a little better than the Kaplan because it gives you a little more exercises on the PAT and Reading towards the end of the book.

I'm looking for one with plenty of exercises so I can really get used to the format and train myself.

any recommendations? suggestions?

Thanks !
 
dude, utilize the seach button...you have NO idea how many times this question has been brought up...personally speaking, i have been listening to sprgrover. I printed out his advice and have it in my room on the wall. The best advice for which material to study from and so on...

PS, thanks sprgrover!
 
use the MCAT review books by Kaplan. they are separate, fairly thin books, each for bio, chem, and orgo.

then for questions, use the "Topscore for DAT" CD-ROM. search for it on Google. it's well worth the money and much better than practice exams that Barron's or Kaplan write.

i used the Kaplan review books and TOpscore, and got low to high 20's on every section.
