i was scheduling for my DAT and completely didn't realize you have to get an approval. i wanted to take the test by middle Sept at latest. how long does the approval take before i could schedule at a test site? please someone respond asap so i can get an idea of how long it takes!

No worries--I think it took less than a week? You fill out the form online and they will (if/when approved) email you a code for you to register with prometric. If your test is in September then your not late at all.

Nonetheless, doing it ASAP would be best.

thanks a lot. yea i already applied for it. i was hoping i could schedule sometime this week. lets see what happens. thanks for your help

haha, it takes 2 or 3 days.
For me at least.
Relax, I am sure you will get the time you want.
