I'm sure it's possible. I personally liked the Kaplan book--I used it as my main study guide and also used the Top Score CD. I got a 22 AA.

As a side note, the Kaplan book can be found at most public libraries.

Good luck!

I haven't, but I got a 23/19 studying from just the kaplan book and my old bio book. If you would like a used copy of kaplan, I can sell it to you along with the CD and flashcards.

People have done extremely well just by using their textbooks and class notes. But thats not everyone!

The Kaplan DAT Book 3rd edition is only $40.95 brand new, which is actually a little cheaper than topscore pro. Plus in the grand scheme of things this ammount of money is trivial. I never skimp on study materials because I would hate to get a lower score just to save a few bucks. In fact those few points could be the difference in you getting into your top choice school.

kaplan book expensive??? Have you considered what it costs to apply and attend dental school?

The Kaplan book is just a drop in the bucket. Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

TopScore is just three practice exams. You shouldn't even start looking at it until you have studied the material for a while. You can't do TopScore alone, you need Kaplan too. DMD_hopeful brings up a good point, the cost of DAT prep will pale in comparison to the cost of applying and interviewing, and this will pale in comparison to the cost of the education. I hate telling peope this, but you need to be prepared to throw down money to do well on the DAT.
