Hi, I am looking for some advice on how to study for the Biology section of the DAT. I have only had the required 8 credits of biology and no upper level bio (I was a psych major). I took my last biology class 4 years ago so I don't really remember anything. Should I read a textbook or just use kaplan bb? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kaplan bb is good for basics. Supplement it with cliffs AP or even Wikipedia

I was a psych major too with very little bio background. I made an outline of every chapter in Cliff's and Kaplan BB. I would definitely focus more on Cliffs. I just took the DAT this week and made a 21 on bio

DOnt just rely on kaplan do more... like cliffs, anything you can get your hands on.

On the side note... since the summer is approaching you have to embrace the fact that you need more biology classes in order to apply to some dental schools. So why dont you think about signing up for biochem, microbio, & genetics etc... atleast 3more. look though pre-rec for the d-schools that you want to attend.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I have ordered Kaplan BB and Cliff's Biology.

cliffs kaplan are good but have you thought abt destroyer ? combining all these resources is what will most likley get you the best score bio is the most random subject and questions out from left wing get ur hands on everything you can i assure you will have questions you will never have seen before and to get a good score in bio you really need to get almost every question right so do ur best and invest in wat u can.
