Studying from textbooks too much?

In your opinion/experience, is studying from your class textbooks a waste of time? Do you think a GRE review book from kaplan (I have the biology version) is also a good source of review?

Buy kaplan review books. Studying from a texbtook is just dumb. Too much information and too little time.

Textbooks are good if there is something not clear to you in the review books. There are definitely better ways to study than straight out of your textbooks. You normally cover a text book in a year of undergrad. How do you expect to cram all that into a couple of months for your DAT? (You can look forward to doing that once you are in dental school 😉 )

I suggest using Kaplan review materials, the ones specifically for the DAT. I would use the Kaplan GRE biology book for some topics, but for others, the DAT does not test you on it in so much detail. I did not use my undergrad textbooks because I sold them on amazon. However, I would use them if there was a concept I did not understand or for additional problems.

i agree that looking at textbooks aren't really worth it because the Kaplan DAT review book looks over more-or-less everything you really need to know. the only thing i would look at a textbook for would be to brush up on my ecology
