Good PAT and pre-dent advice
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...
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.
