I agree with the previous post that practice is the key. I used a Kaplan review book that I purchased from someone who took the course and I found it helpfull. I also purchase the scholarware software for the DAT. It contains several practice tests that are formated very similarily to the DAT. Practice and familiarity I think are the keys to the perceptual part. You need to know how the questions are formated and what they are looking for. With a little practice and a little knowledge it becomes much easier. Good luck, Kevin
