Are the notes posted on bootcamp Ferali's (revised) notes? (as indicated by the url) Or are these created by DAT Bootcamp? Any clarification would be helpful, thanks! 🙂

Older versions of Bootcamp had you using cliff’s and feralis notes to study bio which you could download from their website. They have since incorporated them into their own 500+ page study guide which I found to be super useful. Cliff’s just doesn’t go into the depth necessary and tbh I didn’t use feralis once the Bootcamp notes were released and just read the Bootcamp notes over and over. Ended up with a 30 in the bio section so I must say something in those notes worked!

So these notes contain Cliff's + Feralis + their own? That seems quite comprehensive!

What else did you use to score a 30 on bio? I was using Dr Romano's Bio Notes (which is also 500+ pages) but now considering switching to bootcamp's bio notes after reading your comment

I had read through cliff’s cover to cover and was beginning to go through feralis when the bio Bootcamp notes were released. I found the Bootcamp notes go into the necessary depth without wasting time on the details you don’t need. Overall I read those notes cover to cover twice. I think there was only one question on the real test I didn’t encounter in my DAT studying that I just knew from previous bio courses. Make sure to do a ton of practice problems! I reserved the Bootcamp practice tests to work on timing and just bulk answered DAT destroyer questions and thoroughly go through the answer explanations. I then spot studied areas I was weaker on and made sure I memorized all the mnemonics for taxonomy and animal diversity.

I'll try to clarify - the first 7 or so chapters were a revised version of my notes. After that it's something completely separate (e.g. the anatomy and physiology chapters).

Thank you for the response! Although it might be subjective, what do you think of the remaining chapters? Are they up to your gold standard? Haha also, would you happen to have a revised version of the remaining chapters?

You're a champ, thanks for all you've done for DAT studiers!

I'm sure they did a good job with the remaining chapters, but their approach to it (and content scope) was different than the one I would have taken. I'm still working through the updated complete version of mine I'll be putting out sometime this summer. Thanks the kind words!

The bootcamp notes are excellent and very comprehensive. Pairing it with Destroyer's Dynamite Bio notes seems like it would lead to great results.

Which one to go with if you only have time for one, bootcamp's bio notes or Romano's dynamite bio notes?

Hi,

Im a little bit confused. Do the Feralis bio notes change every year? Also, is it useful to study off the DAT bootcamp questions? What did you guys use to study chemistry/do practice questions? Would Kaplans blue book be useful?

BC. Dr. Romano's notes are wonderful, but they are not as detailed as BC's. In addition, he goes way overboard on unnecessary info that ADA will not test such as specific steps within Krebs cycle, a level of detail that I did not learn fully until advanced biochem level 2 (which is essentially medical/dental biochemistry).

I originally thought the same thing but I've seen people score very high on the bio section using Romano's bio notes
