Resources for DIY DAT studying...

I'm perusing Amazon.com for used textbooks to help me prepare for the DAT. Any suggestions on other materials that have proven helpful?

(Background...I have a B.S. in Biology from all the way back in 2002, so I'm quite rusty on some of my bio and chem stuff)

Thanks!

Standard materials are Cliff's AP biology, Kaplan's DAT book, and the Campbell's text for biology (just get an old edition if you want the text. I wouldn't really worry about getting this honestly, but some people study with it). I also really liked Schaum's but a lot of people don't.

For chemistry, most people will recommend spending 50 dollars on Chad's videos, and I wish I had done that when I was preparing. As far as books, I'd probably at least get the ACS Organic chemistry review book. There is a book called DAT destroyer that is supposed to be very good for organic, but it is probably not on Amazon, and it is also a tad pricey, so if money is an issue, you might have to skip on that.

For perceptual ability there is a program called Crack DAT I believe that a lot of people seem to like. I just used the Kaplan book and top score to practice though.

I really liked Top Score Pro for practice testing. It gives you three practice tests, and it is usually pretty representative of your score.
