Which Biology topics are the most emphasized on the DAT?

 

[IndDent]

Dhollings ol' chap, it is important to realize that the DAT is totally random. Stick to the topics that kaplan has outlined for you in their blue dat book, and supplement with Schaum's bio. For me, it was different, I only studied Schaum's bio.

Focus. I realize its hard not knowing what will be on the exam exactly, but Topscore Pro & DATAchiever are good tools...some of those questions even popped up on the actual DAT.

Most importantly trust yourself that you know the answers, that you have learned them, it is only a matter of accessing it from within.

My best advice to you: Stay away from SDN for the next month or so, hit up your books, any questions you have after that, then come back and post. It was hard for me at first, but it helped me concentrate because you never know what people will post on this forum in regards to DAT, which will inevitably make you feel unprepared. Trust yourself first, then trust others.

Sidenote: SDN is an awesome resource, but beware of SDNitis...it can cripple your performance if addicted.
