| Good PAT and pre-dent advice, June 14, 2008 |
|
The best part of this book is definitely the PAT. It offers a lot of strategies and has more practice problems than other books I looked at. I also like the section they have in the beginning of the book for pre-dents, which offers advice on things like recommendation letters and interviews.
The concerns that I have with this book are that I've seen the many complaints about mistakes in the answer key, and I can't tell whether I really got a question wrong or if it's a typo. Also, the math and science sections aren't sufficient. I wish that Barron's would update this, too, because it was published about 10 years ago, and I'd like to have most up to date study material possible.

 If you want to fail..., December 8, 2007 |

Ok, this is the first book I bought because I thought, this can help.
It doesn't. You might as well get a 6th grade bio book and read that, which would have more information than this book. This book gives you one-line facts about things that you seriously need to know in-depth for the DAT.
As mentioned by another Amazonian, the PAT is probably the ONLY reason to get this, and it's probably a poor reason because this book has sooo many typos. It's not even the typos that makes me so disgruntled... the book will answer questions with wrong answer! or it'll provide you with 2 "right" answers, but choose the lesser true of the two.
i.e. How does a catalyst work?
There was an answer of "Lowers Activation Energy," which should be right, but was not! ummm, are this is for the DAT?
Sure, the title says "How to prepare for the DAT." Yeah, this only prepares you to PREPARE for the DAT.

 It's OK but not up to date and many wrong answers, February 27, 2007 |
|
I just took the DAT and used this book in conjunction with others. It is ok for the Science sections, however the reading comp section is not representative of what is on the actual test. The passages on the real test are not all about Dentistry. There are also plenty of errors in the PAT section. I would recommend the coursework from Kaplan. I would also recommend the KSF review since their questions are somewhat representative of what the actual exam covers. Also they have modified the 2007 exam questions a bit so do be shocked when you see them.

 Good for PAT section, August 24, 2006 |
|
First of all, this book is not as bad as others make it out to be. But I think people should realize that this book is NOT a complete guide for the DAT. The science review sections were condensed...very much like preliminary lecture notes. However, the PAT section was very helpful. I found the level of hardness on the real test very similar to the book's. What I suggest is you use Kaplan or TopScore (some very heavy duty review books) along with this book for the PAT section. Then, a few days before the test, flip this book open to go through the materials quickly to keep your brain in science mode. And, of course, constantly practice the PAT section. My prelimary PAT score was 13 when I signed up for Kaplan (which was useless btw), and with this book I got an 18 on the real PAT.
