Hey guys I was wondering if the biology section in the kaplan seventh edition book is sufficient enough for the Dat in order to get above a 22 or so?
Thank you so much!
 
I own the one from two year's ago; it is not sufficient enough to ace the DAT. I'd strongly recommend the DAT destroyer to supplement kaplan.

Kaplan is like a refresher and the destroyer is all the kinds of problems you will see.
 
Kaplan is good for review, but for more problems try Datqvault.com and Destroyer. Both have really good problem sets. Also, a timed test like a Kaplan test or Topscore wouldn't hurt for more practice. The more questions you see, the more you'll be ready for high yield topics.

I have to agree. destroyer def has great problems to practice with.
 
unlikely to be enough. dat destroyer would be a great idea for a topic as broad as the biology is.
 
KBB is okay (I dont think it covers everything you need to know) - but I have been supplementing my review with Cliffs AP biology (very cheap, good book). For questions I'm using KBB practice tests, chapter tests in cliffs, and dat q vault.

Good Luck!

Edit: To answer your question; I think these resources are better than KBB alone, but I dont know if it's enough to get a 22 in bio.

KBB is more of a general review and don't really prepare you for the primetime.....you should get cliff AP bio (its only like $12 i think) and use topscore, destroyer, kaplan subject tests for practice problems...Good luck
 
Kaplan does not give enough detail, period. You will need other supplemental material to get a 22+
