- General Chemistry Equation Sheet
Here is a list of formulas you need to know for the DAT General Chemistry section. Feel free to print it out and use it when necessary. However, remember that you have to memorize these formulas and this cheat sheet will not be available on the real DAT.
- General Chemistry Lab Techniques
Part of the general chemistry section of the DAT will ask you laboratory questions. Usually, they only comprise of 1-2 questions on test, and most are easy to answer. Use this cheat sheet to study general chemistry lab techniques tested on the DAT. You can also use this link to…
- Intermolecular Forces Explained
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…
- What Types of Questions are on the DAT General Chemistry Section?
This is an important issue to address, because I feel a lot of study materials for the DAT sway pre-dental students in the wrong direction. The biggest issue I can relate to is the heavy focus on calculation based questions in other DAT prep books. The real DAT general chemistry…
- Common Ions You Need to Know
The DAT general chemistry section expects you to be fluent in chemical compounds. For example, do you know the formula for chromate? Below is a selected list of common ions you should know for the DAT (click for full image). * Also, a common mistake I see is people thinking…
