Hello all!

I'm sure many of y'all know this but I was told that the DAT change for the QR section would be in 2016. Regarding the biology section, it will NOT change in 2014. If anything they said it would be in 2015.
Does anyone know how early the bio change will be implemented?

Thanks again!

Appreciate it bud!

Quick question. Do you know what they mean by shifting to a systems approach? More emphasis on the human body and less of plants?

Not too sure but when talking to my advisor about the changes she briefly mentioned how they want to remove anything involving calculations and definition type questions to make it more so you apply knowledge rather than regurgitate it on the test. As far as plants go I wish they would just remove them already!

Ah I see.
It seems like DATboocamp and Qvault have questions that are very similar to what the ADA plans to do. Hopefully, that will help!

Haha yeah I agree with you. I try my hardest to enjoy the plant section..but... I can't. I hate it. sighs.

It says the changes for Bio will be in 2015. Do you think it means, like starting Jan 1st 2015? I was planning to take it like on the 6th of January lol

I'm not sure but that is something you should really look into so you don't waste time studying unneeded material!
