Hi guys

I have a quick question - im getting ready to start studying for my DAT this summer and I was wondering what are good study materials for me to purchase? I have the big Kaplan blue book and that's all. I was looking for more computer based programs - i have heard of topscore, and Crack the DAT (the Ultimate bundle package) - are they both worth buying?
Also, I heard about the DAT destroyer - is that a book or a computer based program?
 
kaplan bb is good. I have it too.
Also, I'm studying out of CliffsAP Biology....it's really good. If you buy this, make sure you read the short essay question and answers at the end of every section. This book is helping me out tremendously.
Yes--the DAT Destroyer is a book.
Also, Crack DAT PAT is supposedly the best thing one could use for PAT. Everyone on SDN is saying its the best.
 
For timed practice exams I would definitely get topscore pro. Kaplan BB is good for a foundation of the science material, but you will need supplemental material if you want to make exceptional scores. DAT Destroyer is good with the sciences and serves as a study guide and practice material. I especially liked it for Gchem and Ochem. For Bio, I have heard of people using Cliff's AP Bio, Schaum's outline and Barron's. For PAT, I have heard CDP is good, but i never used it. You can also use Achiever for practice, but I did not use that either. For QR, I'm the wrong person to ask. Lastly, use your textbooks as well.
 
Thanks a lot.. this helps!

Does anyone have the DAT destroyer at a discounted price?! 🙂

Another question.. i started studying for the DAT last summer but didn't get much done.. I am now planning to take it 3 months from now.. do you think that is enough time to study for it if I am aiming for about a 20? I know i am a little late.. but is there still some hope?!
