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

Mnemonics are a great tool to memorizing large amounts of information quickly. Here are a couple I used to answer some questions on the DAT: Cell Division / Cell Biology Cell Replication Phases = I Pee on a MAT I = Interphase P = Prophase M = Metaphase A = Anaphase T = Telophase Metaphase Read More

Genetics makes up a large portion of the biology section on the DAT. A portion of genetics is dedicated to technologies, which isn’t covered very deeply in many of the AP biology guides, and covered way too in-depth in the Campbell Biology textbook. Here is a list of genetic technologies you should definitely know for Read More

I’d like to open discussion on a question proposed to me the other day: for those who have taken the DAT, which topic do you wish you had spent less time reviewing? The DAT is known to throw just about any topic at you, so I still believe it’s important to know as much as Read More
