Members don't see this ad.

So I can get the 2012 kaplan dat course books with flash cards and review note books plus 2008 kaplan guide with unopened cd and 2008 Dat destroyer + math destroyer for a total of 55 bucks not including shipping so probably like 65 or 75.

Or I can go with 2011 dat destroyer + math, ochem odyssey, and 7th edition kaplan dat for 120 bucks. Which would be the better deal? I plan on studying later on, but just wanna get good deals and gather all the books i need beforehand. I do plan on getting more dat study guides, but as of right now I am just shopping for books and don't wanna break the bank on them.

Go for the 2011 destroyer; the 2008 has some mistakes which he corrected. Also I read that the odyssey isn't really necessary.

 

[dkgrubby]

so you would recommend going with choice b?

 

[emminent]

the latter yes

 

[dkgrubby]

what other things should i get? i was thinking dat boot camp, chads videos, cliff notes biology 3rd edition

 

[CreightonStudent93]

I actually think those last 3 are probably the most important along with the math destroyer.

 

[dkgrubby]

what last 3? (boot camp, chads vids, cliff notes bio)?

 

[CreightonStudent93]

Yep and you can find cliffs notes online for free as a PDF

you know anyway I can get dat bootcamp and chads vids for cheap? thanks fo rthe cliffs pdf

 

[CreightonStudent93]

Not really I think you can bundle with chads and it's 50 for a month or 85 for 2 months they have coupons sometimes so look at their facebook page and see if he posted one recently. I think they also have coupons for bootcamp too.

If you use google and look hard you can find coupon codes for both chads videos and for Bootcamp.

Go for the new books. They have updates that helped people. Older versions do not have new topics that may show up on DAT.

The latter option has new and revised material so it seems like the best choice. I have the 2013 Kaplan DAT Review Notes and I find it very helpful for biology and gen chem.
