Destroyer bio

I haven't taken my exam yet, but I've been working through the Destroyer and there is a good amount of questions in the book. This works in your favor because the more information you experience in multiple facets, the more prepared you are for the unusual questions. It will crush your confidence the first time through it (I tried to start answering questions when I first started studying and ended up putting it down). I began using it after I went through Cliff's and Chad's video's first to have a basis to start answering questions.

After I went through the 563 bio questions I got just under 60% correct! But as I am going through it a second time I have bumped that up to around 85% correct. Make flashcards and write down everything you get wrong or questions you guessed on. Remember...you don't have to memorize every ounce of information Dr. Romano has given you, but make sure you know the concepts of everything. This doesn't mean you won't have lots of rouge information to remember, but knowing the concepts helps you learn the little details.

Studying for this test is like running a marathon...you won't be able to run the full 26.2 miles the first day, week or month. But if you have a plan and stick to it, before you realize it you are much better at the process of training that you thought you could be. It will hurt, be frustrating and drive you crazy at times but it will all be worth it once you get that great score back. At least that's what I keep telling myself!!
 
Use it as a learning tool. As you go through questions take note of concepts you're not familiar with or not sure of. Use the internet, youtube, cliffs, feralis notes, and the explanations in the back of the book to help you figure a question out. A lot of questions in the book ask about the same concepts but only in different ways. You should go through destroyer at least twice. I know it looks like alot but if you do say 30 questions everyday it would take about 18 days to go through it once, and about a month and a half to go through it twice. It's totally doable and not that bad. Good luck!
 
Without destroyer helping me in the biology I scored a 17.
With destroyer helping me in the biology I scored a 28.

Yes its a lot of questions, but the biology section is so broad and destroyer does a great job narrowing down what you need to know for the DAT. Know the answers, the answer key, and the definitions to the answer choices and you WILL do well. Go over it as many times as possible! Good luck 🙂
 
So far so good with biology destroyer prep. I've been making flash cards with questions to help me remember things.
 
I found it was pretty useful- but don't try to test yourself with it or else you'll get depressed. Just use it to learn. I got a couple questions that Destroyer nailed into my head. There's only so much the DAT can test you on!
