Hey future DAT takers:
If you're struggling with capturing the breadth of bio (which is a lot and I've always struggled with memorizing everything in bio), I would totally invest in Princeton Review's book, "Cracking the DAT". I studied from Princeton's books for all of my AP tests and the ACT and I scored nearly perfect on everything after studying from them, so I thought I'd give this (vs. Kaplan, Cliffs, Barrons, etc.) a try since I seriously trust their style and necessary information to know. I truly think it encompasses all the information necessary to know in a perfect amount. Not too excessive like Cliff's (at least for me), and not too simple like Kaplan's. After having read half the bio section now from this book, I have literally answered almost every question in the bio section of the DAT destroyer (that has been from the half I've learned) correctly and I understand why it's correct, incorrect, etc. It really helps in understanding a lot so I thought I'd give you guys my own two cents since SDN has helped me tremendously in prepping for the DAT. Also, I'm not a genius (far from it), but I'm still able to comprehend so much just by taking meticulous notes of the bio material in this book. Sorry for such a long post just dedicated to bio, but I hope it helps!
 
Honestly, it is also great for Gen Chem also. I never watched Chad's videos and only used this book, chad's video Gen Chem Outline, bootcamp, and destroyer.

Wow, that's awesome! How did you do on the sciences on the real deal? And did you have a good prior grasp on the material or did you basically start learning from scratch and use Princeton for each section? They really have their stuff together and definitely deserve more praise, haha.

I got a 24TS, 25 GC, 25 OC, and 22 Bio. I didn't have to start from scratch but I took these classes like 1-2 years ago so many sections were me relearning it.

Great job, great scores! Congrats and may Princeton be ever in my favor just like it was for you 🙂 haha!
