I'm going to be taking Bio 1A in spring and 1B in the fall. I plan on taking the DAT in the summer between. Is second semester Bio material on the DAT?
 
general bio I and II
 
take a course with human physiology def

also

microbio, genetics and an advanced cell bio class wont hurt either
 
If you only take 1 semester of biology before the dat you will get rocked. I had very few simple first semester biology questions on my dat. Instead i had a lot of genetics, evolution, physiology, and microbiology. If you are just starting into your science classes then you better postpone your dat for a couple of years. Have you even taken organic chemistry yet?
 
answer: no

better get on bio and orgo next fall
 
I'm a senior in Biology, have taken tons of upper division classes and biology was the hardest science section for me on the DAT. Not to freak you out or anything, but it was very hit or miss for me, either I knew it or I didn't, so all the exposure you can get will help. I also stongly agree with biomajorpredent's post.
 
Sometimes crazy things happen. When I took my DAT, the answer choices had no icons to click the answer. Obviously this feaked me out. This will put me behind w/ admissions,interviews, etc.How will my appl. be viewed? Maybe I should just submit my application, and let the ADA fix this technical problem.😕
