Needs Better Editing
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).
