First of all, the DAT posts questions from an extremely expansive Database of biology questions ( 😛 ). Even if 3 thousand people posted bio questions from their DAT... chances are we'd be lucky to get one of them to be the same.
SO smity and utah dent RELAX !! This is just for some more practice 😀 . extra practice does not equal cheating!
All bio quesitons are Welcome 😎

there have been some questions that have popped up frequently on DAT exams. do a search in the DAT section of the forum and you should find them. 🙂

Oh yeah practice...sure. Like getting 10 to 15 questions from people that have already taken the DAT is a real source for practice. I bet you haven't even looked at the chapter review questions in your Biology book. Which tells me that your not really interested in the "Practice" aspect your claiming. Why not? Because your full of crap. I don't really care I just asked if you thought it was a little be of cheating? If not then good luck with the 10 to 15 "practice" problems your looking for. I'm sure it will help you "Practice" a ton.
In addition to your bullcrap your saying, why would you ask for only people that have taken the DAT VERY reecently? Come on, don't be a jacka#@.

Hey now! I think that was rude and completely uncalled for dude. If hes like me, it just gives him an "Idea" of what to expect from people who have taken it recently, not really practice...utahdent123 said:

I'm just calling it like I see it. He is the one who claimed it was for practice, not me. Anyway it wasn't that rude.
Oh, FYI just so you have an "idea", there will be some biology questions on the DAT, if you didn't already know that.
Dutchboy said:
very true. there are plenty of practice out there.
Kaplan blue book
Kaplan course
DATachiever
Topscore
You bio book
MCAT bio review
MCAT free standing bio questions
ANY other bio review books with questions
that should be plenty.
PLUS, there is a forum dedicated specifically to the DAT, called DAT DISCUSSIONS.
Getting idea on the topics covered on the recent DAT exams is perfectly fine, but looking for exact question from past DATs would be considered cheating - unless ADA released them to the public.
That said, review genetics (Hardy-W eq, blood groups, and basic allele segregations), also the 3 developmental layers (ecto, endo, and meso and what they develop into. Review ecology (the verious eco relationships like mutualism, saprophytism, commensalism, etc and know examples of each).
Good luck.

if you would look around in that section of the forum instead of this one like i said earlier, you'd find out that there have been a number threads that cover questions that are frequently seen on the DAT. 🙂

Hey UTAH....I'm sensing a little aggression here...It's OK to disagree...but don't come out here with your personal attacks, U need grow up...Anyways...if it is unethical, I am sorry. I did not think it was. As for those who were helpful...tinman... geckel and krdmd....Thank you!!!
If UTAH 🙄 is going to react like this over a post I can only imagine what kind of dentist he's going to be...sheesh....GD help his patients (and patience...haha I crack myself up 😀 )

😱 OMG howui3 SO SORRY!!! You're high on the list!!!! Very helpful thank you...howui3 said:
ROOK
Personal attacks? I only asked the question of whether this was a form of cheating? Your the one who got real defensive, trying to claim it was for the "Practice" and the I should "Relax". Honestly, like I said, I don't care whether you have all the questions before you take the DAT and you get a 30. Is it cheating or not? If you don't think it is then I hope you get some questions.
Just be honest...you want the questions that were on the most recent DAT because you are taking the DAT soon and just maybe the question they give you wil be on it. One lesss question you have to worry about being able to answer. If ROOK is going to react like this over a question of ethics...sheesh....GD help his patients (and patience...haha I crack myself up ) Yeah, that is pretty funny. You don't even know me, and to make a comment like that is ******ed. Good luck

as Tinman said... go to the DAT forum and run a quick search possibly by typing a string like 'DAT bio questions' or something similar in the search box.
Goodluck.
Goodluck.

I totally agree. If this isn't cheating or unethical, I don't know what it is. Go back to studying like the rest of us. Why should you get any advantage over people who have studied so hard for the DAT? This is a perfect example of people trying to cheat the system.
I think everyone is wayyyyyy over analyzing this...if Kaplan is getting you the questions...what difference does it make if he got hte quesitons from a Kaplan book or someone on here...if this is cheating then so is Kaplan...sorry guys...i took Kaplan 2...and ya whatever its dumb for him to come on here and ask people for question but cheating? hahahahaha im sure every one of you was thrilled and excited to see Kaplan or whatever practice questions you got...same thing....3 or 4 questions isn't gonna allow him to do well anyways so just ignore it or give him a few questions u saw on the test big freakin deal.....everyone just breath and relax!

strong difference between asking for current test questions still possibly in exam circulation and Kaplan questions that simulate DAT STYLE questions. Asking to know the questions on a current test is cheating, plain and simple.

I don't like your tone of voice, and this statement makes me wonder if you are simply making a personal attack or taking a jab at mormons by putting "UTAH 🙄" and "GD" in the same sentence. Hard to tell from where I'm sitting, but pretty sure that neither one is really very nice.
first of all it is unethical to "cheat" on any exam either to get in dental school or while in dental school, furthermore, obtaining test questions by any manner other than those published under supervision of the ADA is illegal, b/c those questions that are released are questions that have been used in the past are now retired

Closing. Discussion of specific questions could be cause for the ADA to void DAT test results. Nobody wants that.
