Most helpful customer reviews 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. eh By Marie Well. This book is purely practice questions. After I finished reviewing/learning everything out of Kaplan, I used this book to get me used to the question types that you have on the DAT. So it's good for that. I have the attitude of the more pratice questions the better. There are some really annoying things about it though. First off, there's a ton of mistakes. When I read that on other reviews (people finding mistakes) I thought to myself, how could you really know? But you can. Oh, and the three practice tests on cd? It's a crock. They might as well be in the damn book. The program window looks exactly like the book, bright yellow with black stripes and is completely distracting. Even more importantly, the cd doesn't time you, you can't take a whole test, it doesn't keep track of the ones you missed, and it tells you the right answer after every single question. So in no way is it like the real test. You can only use the cd to practice questions. Also the math "tests" were way too easy. and the reading isn't accurate to the real DAT because instead of three big articles they give like 8 little readings with 7 questions each. So basically, I found it to be helpful, but out of everything (Kaplan, Topscore), it was the least helpful. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Fair By Janet Hernandez It is not cliff notes as in quick review. It is mostly questions on information you must already have. In order to review questions you will need other sources to look up information. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Not comprehensive enough for a thorough review By jtsai256 The main issue I have with this book is that the problems in this book seem much too easy as compared to those found in other review books and in the actual DAT test. Further, if you want some good practice with Organic Chemistry, look elsewhere; this book only has a "Chemistry" section with some questions devoted to Organic Chemistry. The only redeeming feature is the PAT section, since it provides you with more practice on various shapes for TFE and patterns for Folding. Overall, I feel this book can only at best serve as a supplementary to more comprehensive review books. Perhaps this book can be used to pinpoint basic ideas in Biology, Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry that you are weak in, but do not expect the book to be challenging. See all 6 customer reviews...
