1.0 out of 5 stars Good book for 1994 test, April 30, 2000

This review is from: Complete Preparation for the DAT 2000: Dental Admissions Test (Paperback)

This book is a good reference if you are planning on taking the DAT five years ago. The DAT is computerized now and most of the study skills they stress have to do with note making and marking of the test itself. This is no longer possible to do now that the test is computerized. I have taken the test and I would have to say that the best tool I had to use was the Topscore Pro program. This program has difficult questions that are much closer to the actual questions that are on the DAT, plus the format is exactly the same. It is tougher than you think to go from looking at a paper test the the computerized test, SO BUY THE DAMN PROGRAM! Dont waste money on the other books available unless you need practice on the PAT. The best study guides are the textbooks you used for the classes. Review them and study what you dont remember, Orgo is mostly the first semester while the rest of the sections do cover a wide range of material. GOOD LUCK

2.0 out of 5 stars By far not the best DAT product, August 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Complete Preparation for the DAT 2000: Dental Admissions Test (Paperback)

With the scarcity of DAT prep products you may be tempted to buy this. This book was not very helpful. It basically consists of a few practice questions and a full sample test. It has a fairly decent math review though. This book is out of date (for example it refers to the 1988 and 1993 DAT exams while explaining the perceptual ability) and contains many errors. If you are serious about studying for this test, I would buy TopScorePro DAT review CD-ROM (pretty good) and get the DAT review book from KAPLAN (great!!!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Use with another source, January 4, 2000

I felt this book was excellent in it's preperation for the PAT section, the Quantitative Reasoning section, and also the natural science outlines. Although, I would purchase Barrons preparation for the DAT in addition to this book because it is an excellent guide for the science sections. Study and memorize these two books and your improvement will be great. And dont waste any more money!
