Somehow I've managed to put off Botany, so I really no almost nothing about our chlorophyl-enhanced friends. For those that have taken the DAT, is there much (if any)? I'm especially curious about photosynthesis (cycles, etc) and taxonomy. Thanks! Seven days and counting ......

Yes there are questions regarding photosynthesis, light and dark cycles of photosynthesis, Kalvin cycle, etc. To have a "decent" working knowledge of botany I would suggest studying and knowing the information in the Kaplan blue book as a minimum.

Also as many people have posted in the past, and from my own experience, you should be familiar with the taxonomy section in the Kaplan blue book. It seems that many past posters on this site, including myself, saw questions regarding taxonomy that were not covered in the Kaplan book. So I guess what I'm saying is that you should study Kaplan's taxonomy section at a minimum, but to best prepare yourself you should also reference other resources.

I think knowing that Kaplan section is good but definitely go more in depth with the biology stuff. What I did for the evolution and tax stuff was memorize the diagrams in the Campbells book ( you know the one from general biology)...they are good for a overview. Good luck to you!
