I'd love to buy the book like everyone else, but I really don't have the money. I have to work to pay for college and there's definitely no money to go to tutoring center / have all the equipments. Please give me some links to the books and thanks so much in advance.
 
Albino is right... you are going to have to spend a little bit of money on prep stuff.

But if you are on a serious budget... i would recommend spending about 80 bucks on Cliffs AP bio and Chad's Videos.

I would then get a credit card and buy DAT Destroyer... a little pricey, but very worth it!

With these 3 items you can do well on the DAT. You may also want to consider getting Kaplans Blue Book for reference.

Your best bet may be contacting your schools predental club and see if anyone has any of these items for sale, that would be willing to hook you up!! Good luck!!
 
I don't know if this will help too much, but I use this website to review subjects. They are lectures usually from good schools like Yale and Stanford. Most of all science subjects...

Also if you youtube any chemistry, biology, or math subject and then Khan Academy. They have really good youtube lectures and animations!
 
I highly recommend Chad's videos at course saver someone posted the link above. I did no serious chem review until them and spend 2 weeks total watching the videos (1 week gchem and 1 week ochem). I ended up getting a 23 gc/28 oc on those sections. For $30 a month, you can't go wrong.

Get DAT destroyer used. Look on ebay or amazon.

Get Crack the DAT for the PAT section. It's pricey, cheapest one goes for $100, but if you can eat the cost (maybe w/ a friend) it's well worth it.
 
I would highly NOT recommend Achiever, however.

It is expensive, and questions are ridiculous hard and not representative of what the real DATs is. Some will argue you can never be too prepared so studying more difficult material will only help you. Not true. The questions they ask are just out of left field IMHO.

If you have the money, sure you can get it and try it for yourself. If you are trying to save a few bucks and want to skip a few things, Achiever would be one of those programs.

Go on half.com, find old editions of AP Biology, AP Chemistry and your organic chemistry textbook. You have to spend good amount for DAT destroyer.
