Members don't see this ad.

Well I took a 2 (or so) year break from all things DAT and now Im trying to get back into it. Ive pulled out some of my old material, and ive gotten some (i guess you can call it) new stuff. here is what I have, please let me know if I should update..

KAPLAN BIG BOOK- 2006 ed with the lesson book
Kaplan big book - 2008 ed
Kaplan big book - 08-09 ed in full color

Schaum's Biology 2nd ed.
Schaum's Gen/Org/Biological Chemistry

Barrons How to prepare for DAT - 1st ed - 1999
Barrons How to prepare for DAT - 2nd ed - 2009

Dat Destroyer from Aug. 1st 2007

and the Crack DAT PAT/MATH/Science.

like i mentioned, most of the stuff ive had since about 1.5-2 years ago. My newest stuff is the kaplan 08/09 big book and the CRACK DAT series.
And Im also watching the Chem/oChem vids from CourseSaver.

I can narrow my material down and just study the latest editions, but I was just curious if i should update any of my stuff. The barrons book and the big book have some practice tests and so does the CRACK DAT stuff.
My weakness is in Genchem/Orgo BTW.

Thanks

Most of your materials are great. A new kaplan is great for the general foundation, Destroyer is good and Barons is ok. I got a 23 on my sciences, and I really do recommend Campbells book. Now I DID NOT read the whole thing, but it is a great book for things you need more explantion on. I got one on sale, so let me know if you are interested. Other then that also get CDP, DAT acheiver and Topscore and you are good to go. I recommend this

PAT- definately CDP
BIO- Kaplan, Campbells, Destroyer
Chem-Destroyer, Kaplan
OChem- DESTROYER, kaplan
Math- CDM and Destroyer
Then take the practice tests with acheiver and Topscore when you are ready and near the exam. Good Luck.

thanks for the reply. I actually just got done reading your for sale ad.

I think I may have a campbells bio book. its what i used in class. unless i sold it back. haha.

good call on achiever and topscore. I think that is where Ill get most of my mock tests. my kaplan book and the barrons book have a few full test. but IMO it seems like the tests are limited to what you learn in that specific book.
