Meet Moheet Merchant, a happy DAT Bootcamp customer who recently conquered the DAT. I’ve asked Moheet to share his DAT experience with us as the featured student of February. As a non-traditional student working full-time, what were some challenges you faced preparing for the DAT and how did you overcome them? The major challenge was Read More

See our previous post on the 6 Important EAS reactions to know for the DAT. Now we need to focus on benzene substituents and how they affect the location of subsequent additions. Here’s a list of the ones you would most likely see: Electron Donators / Activators (strongest to weakest): -O–, -NR2, -NH2, -OH, -OR, Read More

In an Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (EAS) reaction, the benzene ring acts as a nucleophile that attacks an electrophile. The reaction mechanism below outlines the flow of electrons that occurs during all EAS reactions. Here are the six EAS line reactions you should know for the DAT:

Digestive enzymes is a topic frequently tested on the Biology section of the DAT. Knowing the function of key enzymes, where they are produced, and how they are regulated will translate to easy points come test day. Below, I’ve outlined how food is broken down from the moment of ingestion until it is absorbed in Read More

Here’s a general chemistry concept that frequently appears on the DAT. We’re talking about intermolecular forces, not to be confused with intRAmolecular forces, which bind the atoms within a single particle (i.e. covalent bonds, metallic bonds, ionic bonds). IntERmolecular forces are the interactions that occur between neighboring particles and have a large effect on a Read More

Meet Jasmine Faldu, a happy DAT Bootcamp customer who recently conquered the DAT. I’ve asked Jasmine to share her DAT experience with us as the featured student of November. What is one piece of advice you would give to another student preparing to take the DAT? I highly recommend creating a plan of how you Read More
