So im taking the DAT in the summer but i started preparing for it this week. I started off with bio since i heard it takes the most amount of time. What would you guys say is the most productive method to study for bio? I started reading cliffs bio and started making notes, however, im finding it a little counter productive. How many times did you guys read cliffs AP bio? Would you supplement cliffs with ferallis notes? I'm kind of confused as how to attack this section.
Thanks

Personally, I read Cliff's once through (which I thought was good for laying down a basic foundation) and took notes. Then I started to read other resources to try to cover stuff that Cliff's missed (I think this is especially important in the physiology section) and added new material to my notes. To make it all stick I would then memorize the condensed notes.
