you're right they are different. MCAT is mostly tone and inference questions, whereas the DAT is basically straight facts from the articles.
But I def think 101 can help in areas such as speed, alertness, and being able to follow difficult and boring topics (hey sounds kind of like the dat passages).

Anyway, I have it and I've been using it. It's much harder than the DAT RC, so I def think its good practice. You can get it for cheap too

DAT sections are also longer and don't have the I, II, III, IV elimination type questions. For long term studying using MCAT material may be okay to try to increase reading speed and comprehension BUT using this material right before the DAT could be extremely discouraging as the MCAT VR is probably 10x as difficult as DAT RC

Is it for QR? I saw it in another post and it looked interesting. The OP said QR when he meant RC or vice versa or maybe meant both.

I still got a year til the DAT but I was just curious what interesting books can help me RC.

Its not about how fast you read, its about how fast you pick out answer in the passage. I never read and pulled a 19 on this sections which I consider good with no practice. I just used the Kaplan strategy. Read the first sentence of each paragraph(which gives you the main idea of the para), and write it down on your sheet with paragraphs numbers, and write down keywords. Do this for all paragraph this allows you time to answer question and kind of understanding the the passage. When answering question, you use the key words and outline to know where it is in the paragraph. This is when you speed read and look for the answer. THis is a good strategy because you dont have to read the passage the first time and then reread it to look for the answer.
