The title is pretty explanatory. From what I've gleaned from posts these include: Algebra, Trig, Geometry (obvious) Gchem (obvious) Bio (obvious) Ochem (obvious) Biochem Cell Biology Are there any other courses that helped you prepare for the DAT? Thanks again.

I always tell people to take some sort of art/sculpture class that would use spatial relations to help for the PAT.

definitely basic math courses. Statistics I would highly highly recommend. And i took calc after i took the dat... that would have helped me out a bit. Not because there is calculus on the dat, just it refreshed a lot of my basic math skills with alg, trig, and word problems. The hardest part on the math section for me was probabilities and the word problems.

biochem and cell biology at least for me didnt help. General biology (which i did not have) would have helped the most, while i had cell, molec, developmental biology and did not help too much.

For PAT... i think some kids are good at that and dont need to much practice, and some kids are horrible and need to spend a lot of time with that section. Just get the Blue DAT kaplan book and a few online programs (i forget the name but they have been posted so search for them) should really show you where you stand. The PAT section on dat was much harder than ALL of the practice PAT sections. Angles were crazy hard

Video games do plenty of that.

I am learning to type in a different language. I think so far it has helped my hand-eye coordination a ton.
