Princeton Review (DAT/OAT Review Manual from 2001)

Hi everyone,

In preparing to take the DAT in August, I am currently using the Kaplan blue book and the Princeton Review (DAT/OAT Review Manual 2001...essentially the course material from when Princeton Review offered DAT courses). I have found that the Kaplan Blue book is really not sufficient for the Bio section...but also that the Schaum's Bio Outline is a bit too detailed.

So, has anyone used the Princeton Review manual as a main source for study? If so, did you find that it covered all of the material sufficiently?

I understand the Kaplan Blue book is sufficient for both the General Chem and Ochem sections of the DAT, but I am having a bit of trouble deciding what material to study for the Bio section.

Overall, my current plan is to study using the Princeton Review book (for basic foundation) and then move onto the Destroyer and Achiever. Does this sound ok?

Any input/advise/info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

i recommend Cliff's AP Biology 👍... excellent review guide. more in depth than kaplan, less depth than shaums.

Thanks for the info/advice...I'll definitely take a look at the Cliffs AP Bio book. Also, congrats on getting into NYU!

Also, while I totally understand that when it comes to the Bio section, more (sources, study time, etc.) is always better, but unfortunately, I don't have a ton of time to study for the test.

So, as of now, my plan is to:
Bio: Study (memorize) the Princeton Review book then move onto the
Destroyer, Achiever, Topscore (AP Cliffs for additional reference)

GChem: Study Kaplan Blue book and them move onto Destroyer,
Achiever, Topscore

Ochem: Study Kaplan Blue book and them move onto Destroyer,
Achiever, Topscore


Does the above study plan sound sufficient? I mean, enough coverage of the material to get into the 20s in Bio, GChem, and Ochem?


Thanks again jb and anyone else for the helpful advice and opinions!
