Is Kaplan subject test worth practicing from, or just exams such as topscore?
 
I took the Kaplan subject tests from the online course.

Kaplan had 5 subject tests for each science area, and they were really good.

If you are talking about some other subject tests (other than the ones that come with the online course), then I cannot comment on that. Maybe they are the same thing? I'm not sure.
 
Yes the one from the online course. Do you feel that they helped with the science section and resembled close enough to the DAT?

My weakest section is bio, and i'm especially wondering about that section in comparison.

why are there no plants on the bio subject tests?
 
just do DAT destroyer and topscore to practice GC and OC. topscore is the closest thing to the real test.

for bio just make sure you have KBB and cliff's AP bio memorized cover to cover.

I went through the subject tests and the quizzes three times total.

They were especially helpful for GC and OChem.

If you use Destroyer on top of all your Kaplan subject tests for GC and OChem, then I think you are set! 👍 It's harder to tell with Bio because the scope is so broad.
 
if the kaplan online course was a gift from your mother then by all means use them as extra practice. otherwise, i wouldn't waste my money. KBB + DAT Destroyer + Topscore are more than enough to prepare you for any OC or GC problem thrown at you on the real DAT.

For the bio section, did you think the level of detail from the Kaplan Subject Tests were similar to the level of detail on the real DATs?
 
in comparison to the Chem & Ochem i feel its very conceptual? or atleast from what i hear on everyones actual dat their tests are more problem based for the ochem and somewhat conceptual for gchem..

can anyone confirm that for me please regarding against their own test
