So far I have only read the biology and chemistry sections and what they cover is a pretty good review. However, there are a lot of typos, some wrong information, and even missing information. For example, the biology section has no information on plants (except for sporophytes and gametophytes). There's even questions in the practice test at the end of the book where there is no information covered (What is the central metal ion in chlorophyll? No plant material in this book so this type of question wasn't covered). Despite this lack of completeness this book is extremely helpful. I have taken the DAT once already without using a book like this to study, and wasn't too happy with my score. After I finish studying with this book I know I'll feel more confident going into the test the 2nd time around.
If you purchase this book, you'll need to study some more info on the internet for completeness. I would recommend looking up plant info, enzymes (section they have is very brief)(, and embryonic cell divisions) (radial symmetry). Also heat curves in chemistry weren't covered in the text (there is a question on them in the practice test in the back).

I was very pleased with this DAT study guide and it has been an immense help in preparing me to take the DAT. I'd recommend it to anybody

Kaplan DAT is the easiest way to review important subjects for DAT exam .I have found it very helpful and advise the book to everyone that has not enough time to attend the DAT class .

Product was just as described and in great condition. Shipping was really fast. Great transaction!

I have used an OAT book for prep before, but it was getting kind of old, and this one is in color. Everything is about the same, but these pages are much better and in color. Also, they made a few theories and practices a bit clearer. I'm using this to study for the OAT. Although this doesn't have a physics section, I am using the physics section from my old OAT book.
