I was wondering if anyone knew the difference between the Kaplan blue book and the Kaplan White book.

There have been posts asking in the past but I don't feel that there was a definitive answer. If anyone could provide any other info that'd be great =]

Old Questions and Answers:

does anyone know if hgte blue kaplan book that you can buy on amazon.... is exactly like the white kaplan book of review notes that you get from the course....... i.e. do they have the same exact example problems that they ask you when you take the kaplan course, or are they different questions.......

the blue book is exactly the same as the white Kaplan Review book except that the blue book doesn't have end of chapter questions for each section of the book. The blue book does have two full length kaplan tests (one on paper and one on CD).

that's the difference...I wouldn't buy the blue book if you already have the white one. Just get some more practice tests from Topscore, Achiever, Ace the DAT or whatever.

The white book is a little different from the blue book. First of all it doesn't have PAT stuff, secondly it has a small review at the end of each chapter, third of all, it has no practice exams at the end, and finally, it has a lot more stuff on plant biology than the blue book, which may or may not be on the real DAT. If the white book is almost 1000 pages without the practice exam and PAT section and the blue book is 800 pages with the PAT and a practice exam, then I figure there must be more stuff in the white book. Can anyone else confirm this?

The white book has a short 10-12 question exercise after every chapter which the blue book doesn't. If I didn't have much time to study and just needed to check the areas that I'm weak in, n I didn't have the time to get the destroyer, I'd do each exercise n see what I lack. They basically test you on basic stuff that u need to know about a chapter.
hope this helped..

thanks in advance!

lol...no probs...
the plot summary of what I wanted to say: blue book = value for money
white book = use it if you get it for the same price as blue 🙂
