I was planning today my courses for the DAT and make me ready to take it after two years
will those classes be enough to get 20+ in each section

3 classes general chemistry
3 classes organic chemistry
calculus 1 and 2
3 classes Biology are those enough, little worried i know you need to have a good science background before taking the DAT can someone advice me which courses to take ( Animals, plants, general genetics) can help

please share your thoughts!
 
Finish your Gchem and Ochem series. You don't even need calculus really to be prepared for the DAT since there's no calculus on the test. As for biology, I think having taken physiology and anatomy would really help, so when you review for the test, you would already have the knowledge, instead of having to learn it all on your own for the test.
 
It some ways it doesn't matter what classes you have taken. No matter what you will be using DAT specific materials for studying. Obviously if you have take the classes, done well, and have a continued understanding of the material, that is best. But I have friends who took the DAT without taking bio 2 or orgo 2 and scoring 20+.
