Crack dat pat

I wouldnt bother with the kaplans crap and get CDP, Destroyer, Cliffs AP Bio, and topscore/schiever. Throw in maybe prinnceton review for the basics in the chemistries and your golden. Wasting money on the kaplans course just isnt smart and your time would be better spent studyng.
I don't know if it's just me, but a lot of people have trouble with the TFE portion of the PAT. For TFE, crack pat is not exactly the best. They throw difficult problems at you without easing you in. If you're having trouble with any of the other types of problems, then it's definitely worth the money, but IMO TFE is the most difficult portion of the PAT, and crack pat does poorly to initiate the TFE-challenged.

My bro and I both took kaplan and got 25 and 21 on the PAT respectively with no other practice. If you already paid for Kaplan, you will do fine on the PAT. If you're not doing well come test time, buy CDP the week before and get some more practice. That's all the PAT is.
Once you get the hang of it, TFE is very easy. Practice is al you need and you dont want baby level [problems like kaplan has. Its possible to do well with just Kaplan but its not likely or common unless the person is just naturally skilled at PAT.
Which CDP version is adequate? I don't think I need the 200 dollar super duper package, but I'm afraid only 5 practice tests (the cheapest version) isn't enough...TFE and pattern folding are giving me some headaches so I am mostly worried about getting enough practice with those sections. Thanks!
get the 10 test version, its perfect
Couldn't have said it better myself. Don't bother with Kaplan, you might get used to the easiness of the darn thing. CDP and Topscore aren't bad, Achiever is waay too hard and Kaplan waay too easy.
I know of a bunch of people who just use Kaplan for PAT and they hardly ever score over 20.
