Hello,

I took my DAT last year and have 2014 DAT Destroyer.
Should I purchase 2015 version? or it wouldn't really matter?

Im planning to retake around early June.

Thanks!

Hey ! I don't have the older version of the DAT Destroyer but the 2015 version has

1) 563 Biology Questions
2) 335 Chemistry Questions
3) 298 Organic Chemistry Questions
4) ~ 150 Math Questions (can't remember the exact number from the top of my head)

So just compare the number of extra questions from the older book.

Good luck with your rodeo # 2

You can do it !

If I were you, just redo 2014 destroyer if you haven't written on the book yet and make your own answer key that agrees with the Destroyer's set of answers. The key is the ability to justify and explain the correct answer in your own words and diagrams that would make sense to someone sitting in a DAT prep course for the first time. My score went from 18 AA/16 PAT (Kaplan's diagnostic) to 25 AA/PAT (actual DAT) in two months. By the way, I used 2012 Destroyer which was incredibly helpful for the exam a few months ago so the edition should not really matter all that much.

No need to buy a new version. Biology and chemistry won't change in a year.
