Botany on DAT?

[lucyzhang]

I thought there is no questions about plants on both DAT and MCAT. however, while I was reading through the Kaplan book, almost every chapter, they will throw some botany stuff by the end. but no plants-related questions appear at their sample tests (at least I haven't seen any yet). Just wanna ask those who took DAT, is botany also part of DAT? thanks 😕

Well when i was studying for the DAT i remember thinking "WTF is up with this plant crap?!?" I remember studying the flower and monocots/dicots in decent detail and actually got a couple of questions on the real DAT asking about the stamen and xylem.
They were WAY basic questions too, so dont fret. 🙂

I also had a few questions on plants on my DAT as well. They were very basic, xylem and phloem type of stuff as well as plant hormone stuff like auxin and giberellin.
