Hey, just deciding to give back a little since everyone on here has been so helpful to me. Once again....mucho THANKS!
This is a word document I made that kind of sums up all the taxonomy stuff I got out of Cliffs, Kaplan and some Campbells.
I know people have been saying that their DAT didnt have that much taxonomy stuff, but I figure some extra info couldnt hurt anyone.

Thanks

Side note: you can go onto microsoft office online and download a "compatability program" for free, allowing you to download all this stuff, EVEN IF it's a Microsoft Office 2007 doc.

I tried getting it to upload as a Word 97-2003 doc and I will not let me. Try what I said above, it should work. Best of luck!

you are my hero.


Holly crap! Its 12 pages. How am I gonna memorize it all until saturday.
Any suggestions what I should focus on to get the most basic background just in case taxonomy questions show up in my test?

Give everything a good once-over for sure, but my advice would be to focus on Animalia since that's where most of the questions come from. Know the key divisions, and a thing or two about each phylum (CNS?, digestive tract?, excretion?, symmetry, etc.)

Porifera (parazoa)
Cnidara (first eumetazoa)
....
Echinodermata (first deuterostome)
Chordates (4 requirements)
> Tunicates (only two non-vertebrate chordates)
> Lancelets
> Vertebrata
etc.

Here, I converted it into a regular doc. file. Hopefully it will work for you guys.
