If this topic has been discussed previously, just post a link to where it is located please. If not, has anyone looked into the DAT reference texts that the ADA has on its website? If so, what is the verdict?

The list is as follows

Biology

Campbell and Reece, Biology, 8th Ed., Benjamin Cummings. (I am thinking about getting this one.)


Raven, Johnson et al., Biology, 8th Ed., McGraw Hill.


Chemistry (General and Organic)

Brown, LeMay et al., Chemistry: The Central Science, 10th Ed., Prentice Hall. (I have this one)

Coghill and Garson, Eds., The ACS Style Guide: Effective Communication of Scientific
Information, 3rd Ed., Oxford University Press.

Ege, Organic Chemistry: Structure and Reactivity, 5th Ed., Houghton Mifflin.

Masterton and Hurley, Chemistry: Principles and Reactions, 5th Ed., Brooks Cole.

McMurry and Fay, Chemistry, 5th Ed., Prentice Hall.

McMurry, Organic Chemistry, 7th Ed., Brooks Cole.

Pavia, Lampman, and Kriz, Introduction to Spectroscopy, 3rd Ed., Brooks Cole.

Silberberg, Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change; 5th Ed., McGraw Hill.



QRT ( I am really curious about these for a QR resource. Or would getting these be overkill based on information that can be obtained elsewhere.? Kaplan, Math destroyer, etc.)

Bluman, Elementary Statistics: A Step By Step Approach, 6th Ed., McGraw Hill.

Stewart, Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 6th Ed., Brooks Cole.

Swokowski and Cole, Precalculus: Functions and Graphs, 10th Ed., Brooks Cole.

- I have the Kaplan Review Book that you get when you take kaplan and all subject test from kaplan course. (Flash Cards too)

- I have OChem Book from undergrad and ACS Ochem Book.

- I am going to order TopScore, Achiever, and Barron's AP Bio of Cliff's

- I am thinking about ordering DAT Destroyer and Math Destroyer ( I would really like some insight from someone who has used these two books and taken the DAT)

Anyone with some direction, recommendation, or thoughts please post them.
