hi, i am doing a post bacc degree and i am planning to take the DAT this summer and i want to go ahead and start studying. I am currently taking all of my prerequisites over to get higher grades so i think that will help prepare also. Anyways.... is starting to study for the DAT a year in advance too early? If i take the DAT before i take the second level of organic chemistry, would that be bad? Most importantly what books are the best ( are there any cheap ones that work really well....i am independent and on a major budget)? If you have books that you think are really good please include all of the study material you used to prepare, your DAT score / GPA, and what school you were accepted into? thanks so much

Bio- AP cliffs and Destroyer. Campbell text book is good just to refer to what is not clear on AP.
Org C. Destroyer must. If youwant one I have one for good deal.

PAT. CDP
QR. Math destroyer is good.Otherwise work on some algebra books.
G chem. Destroyer is over killing. Examcrackers for MCAT 1001 is not bad
RC. reading anything you get on your hand and try to comprehend it.

For all science sections, kaplan practice tests worked well for me as well.
Also, flashcards are good.

PAT: Crack DAT PAT (Kaplan is too easy)
RC: On your own + Kaplan practice tests
Math: Kaplan practice tests

For real test simulation, you should have Topscore or Achiever (Topscore seems better)
