Good Value, August 5, 2002

Reviewer: A reader
from Columbus, OH United States |
This book has faults (sample exam errors, etc.) that have been abundantly
pointed out by other reviewers, but the hints for the PAT are worth the
money alone. I found the PAT on the DAT to be more difficult than some other
prep products's sample tests would have you believe (Although, I did score
well on the PAT). This book alone takes a methodical approach to finding the
right answer, but also getting it fast, which was my problem. The science
review sections were not as complete as some other books, but I found many
of the explanations helpful in clarifying things that I had never learned
well in my prereq classes, especially in the O Chem section, where the idea
of using acid and base chemistry to solve problems was emphasized in a very
helpful way. I would not recommend using this as your only review material,
but in conjunction with TopScore Pro and my textbooks, etc., it helped me
get very good scores on all sections of the DAT.

All reviews are right.
This book is filled with mistakes. Like.. zillion of them.
I got so frustrated after I finished practice test but it turned out, so
many answers were wrong.
Question itself is ok but answer is all messed up.. It can lead u wrong
direction. Do not buy this book.

I dont know who Barrons got to edit the information and practice test
answers in this book, but I could have done a better job!! The answers to
many of the practice test questions were completely wrong and some review
sections could be misleading. Save your time and money and dont buy this
book

Reviewer: fugirl

.........Okay the PAT prep was very good (good examples and good
strategy). The science prep is too short and oversimplified. If you use only
this book for the science prep, you'll be in huge trouble. The sample DATs
had good questions (similar to the real thing) but were loaded with errors!
The reading prep technique taught in this book takes too long on the real
test. They suggest practically outlining each passage before answering
questions - which I found to be entirely unnecessary. Go for TopScore Pro
before this test prep book.
