Members do not see this ad.

I am planning on taking the DAT and am having troubles finding a good study guide to invest my money into.

These are the ones I've looked at. What do you guys recommend and why?

Thanks!

*I am for sure considering using Top Score for final complete test practicing before test, just don't know what to buy to prep before then.

Most people who don't take structured courses (Like kaplan live or online course) end up using multiple resources.

The MOST common self-study resources are the following:
- Kaplan blue book
- Cliff's AP biology (or Barrons AP biology)
- Crack DAT PAT (also others like crack MATH and sciences)
- DAT destroyer & MATH destroyer (can get these 2 in a combo for $200)
- many folks around here like chad's videos, I never used them so I don't know
- topscore software
- DAT archiver
- Old college text books as reference material

what else am I missing? hmmm I think thats about all

Also some folks like to use some MCAT study guides (esspecially for the sciences), I personally don't think there is a need for the MCAT stuff cause the stuff I mentioned above CAN and WILL teach you everything you need to know granted you put in the right amount of effort.
