  15. DAT Book Review

  16. Crack DAT Software Website Pros Great practice for the PAT Studying Crack DAT PAT leads to 20+ on PAT section Cons Science sections not that accurate
  17. DAT Destroyer Pros Best for general and organic chemistry Helps you over prepare Work backwards Lots of questions to help you study for Math Cons Biology section a lot more detailed than actual DAT
  18. DAT Achiever Much more difficult than the real thing Helps you to over prepare Practice tests
  19. Chad’s Videos Website Great supplement to DAT Destroyer Organic and General Chemistry Teaches you the basic concepts you need to know for General and Organic Chemistry Videos aren’t boring Destroyer AND Chad’s Videos will get you 20+ on Organic and General Chemistry sections
  20. DatQvault Website Sciences Biology Section Best gauge to what you will get on the Biology section Very similar questions to the DAT
  21. Top Score Website Practice Tests Very similar to the DAT Scores are very similar to what you will get on the DAT
  22. Cliff’s AP Biology and Barron’s AP Biology Great overview for all topics of Biology Read the entire book Do chapter quizzes
  23. Kaplan Blue Book Pros Great as a supplement to studying Use as many practice tests as possible Great overview of all the topics Use computer part for PAT section Overview of math section pretty decent Cons Not enough by itself
  24. Kaplan DAT Course Pros Helps you stay on a schedule If you are not self motivated to study, this will help Learn tricks and strategies of test taking Cons Expensive If you won’t commit to staying on the schedule or studying outside of the class, it will not benefit you
