highly recommended

WANTED: DENTAL SCHOOL APPLICANTS. The Pre-dental Guide is a comprehensive resource for those who wish to enter the field of dentistry. The purpose of this book is to provide pre-dental students with pertinent information about the various factors to consider when choosing and applying to dental school. Also, the major elements of the Dental Admission Test (DAT), and advice on how to take it, are explained in some detail. In addition, this book makes recommendations regarding the pre-dental resources which are currently on the market. The author, Dr. Joseph Kim, is a former DAT instructor who understands the fears and concerns that dental school applicants face. In this book, he provides answers to many of the questions that pre-dental students have. This is the only book that dental school applicants must have.

good to get the idea

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.

A good pre-dental book.

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 noted that it does not include the Arizona School of Dentistry.

There are some typo's, some poor grammar, and some improper formatting in places... one example, a sentence is broken in half at the end of a paragraph, and the second half is indented and starts the next paragraph.

Overall... If you're a predent, there isn't much in the way of pre-den't materials on the market. This is one of the best you have available, which isn't saying much. What this book offers that makes it worth buying is the DAT info. Serious pre-dents should study for the MCAT and add a few DAT reviews for the perceptual ability section of the DAT.

If you're willing to put up with the editing problems, you'll gain some valuable info on the DAT. If this book had an edit or two, I'd probably give it 4 or 5 stars.
