What was the best and most effective text book did you use for Biology? I seriously doubt the test will be based on general information although how it can be applied.
 
Is this for an undergrad biology course or the DAT?
 
For DAT I used Cliffs Notes AP bio and for undergrad I used Campbell.

Actually the DAT Biology section tests more on breadth than depth. Sure, it's helpful to know the details, but knowing the basics should get you at least a 20. Answering just a few extra questions correctly can improve your score 2-3 points, and that's where knowing details pays off.

Use Cliffs AP Bio for a great general review and Feralis notes, which I believe combines Cliffs and several other resources. Those are the only two Bio sources I used and I got a 21. DAT Destroyer is great for practice questions.
 
Thank everyone for the input...at this point I am using Campbell. I will pick up a copy of Cliffs notes for AP biology...and DAT destroyer is great for practice questions? I haven't heard of that one. I will Google it!! Thanks for your suggestions that will help me prepare for the DAT!

For DAT? I used Cliff Notes. Loved it!
 
How much for just DAT & Math Destroyer?

$125 for both. The DAT destroyer was $150 new the Math Destroyer was $100 new. No writing in either, both in great shape. For $25 more I'll throw in the Kaplan and Cliffs.
