DAT Bio Section

"Please note that in 2021 the DAT Biology test specifications are anticipated to change. Candidates are invited to check the DAT website for additional information and updates as they become available" for others interested.
I think that means they are adding new experimental biology questions, not passage-based questions like the MCAT.

Thanks ..they did specify anticipated , they did the same thing with the QR section and it took more than 5 years for the change to take place. It's just a wait and see what happens situation. I will monitor it closely and be ready to shift gears if necessary.

Hi Nancy hope all is well! I am going to be buying the dat destroyer in a few months. For the bio section is there already some conceptual bio questions in there?
Hi

This is Dr. Romano's response since he is the author the the Destroyer...Nancy
'There are 700 questions in the Bio questions in the DESTROYER. I have personally written each one. I have preached the idea of CONCEPTS for over 30 years to my students. In many many DESTROYER problems, I write the question to test more than one area. Often I amalgamate Biochemistry with Pathology.....sometimes Botany with Organic Chemistry.....Virology with BioChemistry, Anatomy with Physiology, and Histology with Pathology. Becoming a successful dentist or medical doctor often requires one to amalgamate concepts from different disciplines and APPLY them. I have always felt that just memorizing a question is often the wrong road to take. Concepts and understanding basic principles will always win out. Hope this helps."

Ecology has always been on the DAT. That's nothing new.
I still don't understand why they don’t just Test human biology like the mcat does.
