This review is from: The Pre-Dental Guide: a guide for successfully getting into dental school (Paperback)
Well, if you're a serious pre-dent, you'd know there's not much as far as pre-dental books go.
This book and a few others are the choices. You can find a lot of info online theres even an online forum called student doctor network (google studentdoctor its the 1st listing). Good for pre-anything medical.
Pros: It gives some of the 'tricks' to the DAT. Some good info that will save time and some very good strategies on what to look for and mistakes to avoid. The author states at the end of the book that he was in the 97th percentile for the DAT and helped administer and consult for the DAT after he was a dentist. So, some good info you won't find elsewhere.
Cons:... well, this book sorely needs and edit or two. For being in the 97th percentile and a top scholar since highschool you'd think the author would remember his English classes and would've given this book a proofread. Not completely up to date on all the dental schools in America... I...Read more

Joseph S. Kim has obviously gone through the steps to get into Dental school. I found that this book was very informative and tells it like it is. The lists of what to studying for the DAT are on the money! I bought several other "help guides" and it was so clear that the Phd's hadn't gone thru the actual process where as Kim either has or he really did his homework. I really recommend this book if you are wanting to get a written guide that will help direct you.

It was helpful in terms of it has pretty much everything that you should know before you apply to dental school. Just use this book as a guide to plan and get some idea when you have no clue. It won't give more than that. It gives some strategies for DAT but it's not enough for sure to improve your DAT score. As I said earlier...just use this book as a guide.
