So I am nearing the end of my winter break and go back the 31st. And during the day I am EXTREMLY bored. Figured that I might as well just start looking over some material. Cant hurt right?
So I am wondering to start from scratch. I have no books and dont want to order anything online since at this moment I would have to wait for it to arrive which would cut down more days. I have no problem driving to barnes and noble or anything to pick upw hats in stock. Only question is what sohuld I pick up.
Should I just start reviewing PAT? If so, what book?
Should I start reviewing Bio? If so what, Cliffs AP, Barons, Kaplan? I was thinking Kaplan but not sure.
I dont want to start reviewing orgo yet since I am taking orgo 2 next semester.

Also, I am not limited to the books I listed, I am limited to what barnes and noble/ waldenbooks has in stock haha.
I feel though that reviewing bio would be the most important since I am still taking bio classes and it can only serve as a knowledge before I take the classes which can ultimately help me.

If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't buy anything at the bookstore. I might go there and review the PAT section in Kaplan (very short, you could go through it in less than an hour). But otherwise I'd stick to online resources and flashcards be they physical or electronic.

For Bio I'd use the textbook you have, and focus on the sections that correspond to the official DAT guide by the ADA. I'd supplement with Khan Academy (free!).

For gen chem I'd use my text book and Chad's videos. Text book is good because it tends to have lots of practice problems already in it, which I'd practice as I went through Chad's videos (since he isolates much of what you NEED to know).

PAT, having reviewed it in Kaplans, and understood the gist of it, I'd get Crack PAT.

Orgo, you've got your classes; but Chad's videos are great for it as well, as well as Organic Chemistry as a Second Language I and II (books, could pick them up for your class, I used them for it).
