Hi all,
I am a newbie to this forum.
Can anyone share their experience on how to approach Cliffs AP Bio while studying for the DAT bio section? Should I just study the whole thing along with Kaplan BB and Destroyer or Cliffs AP Bio is just a supplementary to kaplan BB for looking things up😕😕
Thank you very much.

I think most people here believe Kaplan Biology to be lacking. They find Cliff's AP to be more useful. I would rely more on Cliff's then, and then skim through Kaplan to see if you understand everything or if you missed something.

i pretty much used kaplan BB as to structure the subject areas to study. I read all chapters in the AP book that pertain to the kaplan chapters. There is definitely more detail in cliffs which you are going to need to know.

do destroyer after finishing all other study material.

good luck

I am really glad you asked this question. I am in the Kaplan online class right now and the instructor keeps telling us that every single thing we need to know for BIO section on DAT is covered in the course. Looking at SDN, I am skeptical and want to be well prepared. So even I have the cliff notes book to study.
So cliff notes + kaplan review book will prepare you well for biology section?

they are both 3rd editions on amazon, but im not sure what the difference is? one has a 2009 date and one has a 2007 date? and the CliffNotes one has a CD, I doubt I need that, but what do you guys think? which one do i need?
