Isn't Feralis notes a bit extreme?

Members don't see this ad.

Obviously its very useful but doesn't it seem a bit too detailed for an exam like this? It even goes over the bones/eyes.

from the breakdowns that I have read here- Feralis notes are dope..use them! i dont know what you mean by 'exam like this' ..but the notes contain everything you need to know (given that you have read cliffs or some other source first because the notes are pretty condensed and might not make sense at first)

It even goes over the bones/eyes.

Those topics show up on the DAT.

When I started studying there wasn't much insight into the value of these notes floating around. But, they did appear in the breakdowns of some top scorers. I felt the same way...felt I was wasting my time. Turns out they saved my ass multiple times on my test. They are extremely detailed because the DAT, at times, is extremely detailed. You have to understand biological concepts...which are generally very detailed.

I wrote these because I wanted to do really well on the DAT, at least a 23+...so for me, I had to be able to cover the material with a great level of depth/detail. Everything I saw from breakdowns said to study from as many sources as possible and that was my approach to compiling the notes.

Is it overkill? It's probably going to seem that way no matter what because it's only possible for you to be tested on a small fraction of biology. My approach to studying has always been that if you want to do well, you have to know everything that might show up on that test...so from my perspective it's better to over-prepare and not need it than under-prepare and regret it.

+1👍

Ferali I read somewhere in this forum that you are updating the notes. Is this true? I downloaded them from Bootcamp website about 2 weeks ago- is that the most recent version ? Thanks for the resource by the way. Its extremely helpful.

Extreme? Are you kidding me? I think the notes are perfect. I even added A LOT more details to it as I studied along. Thank you Feralis !

 

[FeralisExtremum]

They'll be getting updated soon. So far the one on Bootcamp's website is still the most up to date version, that will probably change within this week.

Okay cool. Thanks

I really like them, they're very straight forward and tell you exactly what you need to know. I don't know about you but you really never know what kinds of questions you'll get, wouldn't you rather be prepared and answer questions with confidence?

If you don't like Feralis then you can just google Campbell ppts online and they will give you an extra layer of detail and perhaps you might like that

That being said Feralis notes are still very good. Cliffs alone is not sufficient. I don't see how anyone using just cliffs can get above a 20.

unless you guess on like 10 questions that you don't know and get all of them right by being Chuck Norris's son....then yes u can get above a 20 🙂

I'd rather overkill than get killed.

Is there a GC/OC equivalent to Feralis Bio?

chad's videos😀

 

[SMDoc]

aside from chad's?

 

[FeralisExtremum]

I took note's on Chad's stuff too, but I'm not sure how helpful they would be, plus I'd have to scan a ton of images. From what I understand his lectures + some background work from a source like Destroyer are all you need. Orgo and chem are far less "random detail" oriented, so it's probably best to avoid monster notes if you can.

 

[SMDoc]

I need serious help with OC as I passed the class without learning much-so I am consistently scoring in the 15 range.

I'm just looking for an alternative to watching all of the videos, but it looks like I will have to...
