So i bought the DAT Destroyer and Math destroyer but I'm looking for more Biology Material. Does anyone recommend what books to buy???

Cliffs a biology 3rd edition, you can get it for few dollars on amazon or just Google the name 😉.... based on my experience, if you know all the explanations for biology in destroyer, you should be set.

I wouldn't spend money on any books for biology. The best resources are available for free online. There is a pdf of the aforementioned "Cliff's AP Biology 3rd Edition" floating around online. Personally, I mostly skipped this resource, but some find it useful.

More importantly, "Feralis Biology Notes" cover everything you would possibly need to know for biology. They are available for free on DAT Bootcamp. Here is a link. Feralis Biology Notes | DAT Bootcamp

Are you specifically looking for more content review or practice material?

I am looking for more content review since my background is pretty weak. I took Bio courses (except A&P) like 6 years ago so my skills in this area are rusty. I've been searching but can't seems to find something that is not just practice material.

With Destroyer you are all set for step 2! A lot of people stress review, practice, testing. As far as review both Cliffs AP bio and @FeralisExtremum bio notes are "the way to go". Both are free online, I forget where Cliffs AP bio was but I know for sure I found a free pdf and printed it at my universities library. Ferali's bio notes can be found somewhere within his breakdown I'm sure but I downloaded them directly from DAT Bootcamp. You already have Destroyer which you should use after reviewing Cliffs/Feralis to bring everything together. And then finally others recommend testing yourself with DAT Bootcamp's tests to assess how ready you are, as there seems to be a consensus that they're the most representative of the real exam.

I know I rambled and might've given you a little more than you asked for but I hope that all helps! With those resources you should do great (I'm studying myself, but so far so good). Let me know if you have any other questions I'd be glad to help

I truly appreciate your help!! I was terribly worried my materials weren't enough, but I think I'm all set! Good luck to you!!
Thanks

The majority of strong DAT scorers use Bootcamp, Destroyer, Cliff's, and then Feralis notes. I'd also recommend looking at Bozeman's videos, Khan Academy, and Crash Course on youtube if you ever need more explanation on a topic.
