Since many of us are studying for that during this time. I think it would be helpful for all of us if we share whatever we find useful here.

I'll start. Today I watched some gen chem videos about logs, but I couldn't understand how to do it without a calculator until I found this useful youtube video.



P.s:

I'll share other videos whenever I find something useful, please feel free to do the same

The first one is a guy who I first watched before I even found SDN and was starting to think about the DAT he gives some good basic advice for the PAT section. The second is a four hour long video just on quantitative reasoning. I have bluetooth in my car and play while i drive during the day and during other down times. The guy does a good job going over basics and does a decent job covering most of what you need to know.

Youtube has crash course videos that are meant for AP bio students, but does a really good job at explaining difficult concepts as easily as possible. Also a great review source when workingout/running, and while it doesn't dive deep into miniscule details, it does go over them (so listen for those closely). These are for when you're burnt out and can't continue, but want to watch something funny and colorful while still learning/reviewing



Covers everything from biochem to nephrons to action potentials, and so on.

Someone mentioned too that there is an app called speedster DAT (I think). That has generators on it. I haven't tried it yet but it might be nice for PATing on the go.

I'm not sure how many people get stumped on ploidy numbers with regards to cell division, but this video definitely helped me out. It explains the number of chromosomes within each phase and it has helped me tremendously in grasping the concept. Hope it helps everyone!

Hey Guys! I have been watching this guy and he is the real deal I was wondering if anybody got his full video, I am on the verge of getting it and just wondering by watching that will that cover all of my basics for the QR Section? I mean what I learned from this guy in two hours knocks out any math content review I have used till date!

August 30th! Has anyone got the Princeton Review DAT book? I just got it but not sure how good it is, seems like its good for brief review

One guy mentioned it in his breakdown the other day.
What other resources are you using? have you seen breakdowns by other students to get an idea what they use for review?

Am I the only one who doesn't seem to have any motivation to study for the DAT? I have taken OC this past year and know most of it. I am almost done with Mike's GC videos and understand everything, and I am half way through Cliffnotes bio book. My DAT is mid August and I feel like it is so far away 🙁

Yeah, I'm using the ones most people recommend like DAT destroyer, bootcamp, chad's videos etc. I just got the princeton review as well in case i wanted another resource to look at.

Also a general question for studying the biology section, are you guys just making a set of notes as you read Cliff's AP bio that summarizes it basically?

Hi, I think most of you have seen the pat game on Bootcamp and crack the dat.
The one on Bootcamp has 2 sections different than this one.
It's called the eyeball game and after finishing it tell you your score. I like this one better
The eyeballing game
Try to play it every day to be better in perceptual ability

Fort Bend Tutoring

I just stumbled upon this math tutoring channel on youtube. It is the best resource I have yet to find, especially if you are a visual learner. I have only watched the word problem videos and they are incredibly useful. He gives you a technique to solve mixture, distance, investment, combined work, and age problems. Just use the search bar on his channel to find the specific type of problem you want help in. He has videos on basically everything we will see. Highly recommend.

Final note: If the question is too hard or has new concepts obviously leave it, QC and DI is still in infant level on the DAT, they didn't make it complex enough yet. But who knows! We are their guinea pig
