I keep seeing the Gold Standard is titled with MCAT. What does it mean to be Designed for the MCAT packaged for the DAT? I understand that both tests cover similar topics, but how well do the videos cater towards the DAT.
All the videos in this DVD were created for MCAT prep (of course except for the DAT study plan). We then chose and edited videos that contained topics relevant to the DAT. I have included that topic list below.
We are currently working on the 2012 Edition video where we will be adding new videos specifically created for the DAT DVDs including plant biology and some QR.
Here is the topic by topic index for the DVDs:
