  • What are the best study guides or materials for the DAT?

    Posted by goldenbear on February 20, 2025

    I graduated from undergrad last year and will be taking the DAT this summer. What is the best course available to prepare for the DAT? I’m considering using either the DAT Booster or DAT Bootcamp, and they look really similiar.

    I think both are fine. You’ll read threads on SDN and Reddit about students using one or the other but rarely both.

    I used Booster and thought it was good but that was a few years ago.

    DAT destroyer is good to have too.

    Great question and welcome to Embrasure Space @goldenbear

    It’s been a while since I took the DAT but I’ll ask a few friends who graduated more recently to chime in. And thanks @cubbie for replying to the thread.

    When I was preparing for the DAT we didn’t have as many choices and I haven’t used either DAT Bootcamp or DAT Booster but both of them seem to be the popular choices among current pre-dental students.

    In addition to DAT Bootcamp and DAT Booster, you should check out Chad’s Videos for chemistry and the DAT Destroyer for Bio and QR.

    I picked DAT Booster and think it’s a good course that will prepare you for the DAT.
