Studying bio with only destroyer?

If I were to know 95% of the bio material in the destroyer, going over all the questions multiple times and making sure the details are known rather than memorizing answers... What score would you say I would get on the real thing? Has anyone ever done this? need some input from people who have taken it already

I think it could work but you NEED to know the concepts behind things. Which destroyer doesn't necessarily teach you all the time. If you supplement with feralis notes you would be great.

I think it's a bad plan. Destroyer for bio is a great resource and you should definitely use it but it should not be the ONLY resource you use because you will end up knowing nothing but sets of isolated facts. Before using Destroyer have some foundation in place already from a resource like Cliff's or the bio notes on here.

The DAT Destroyer covers a wide range of Biology and because there are many versions of the DAT, it is important you do ALL the work in the Biology section. It is assumed you have taken the required courses and supplement with Cliffs or other materials to strengthen areas of weakness.

No easy way around the Bio...you have to study a lot of material and will only be tested of some of it. That's just the nature of the DAT

Wishing you the best..

Here is a direct quote from the Feralis

"Bio (30): Very simple, and this isn't even because of how well I knew my notes. It was just a basic, generalized test that didn't focus too much on specific details. If someone erased my memory of all biology knowledge and then had me read Cliff's the night before and made sure I knew everything in Destroyer, I'd probably still have gotten a 30. "

I agree with Nancy that it is definitely simplified. However, I didn't expect to have my biology section to have at least 5 illustration. I wished I analyze photos for the biology exam more. In addition to that, to classification questions... There were at least 3 of them on mine.
