breakdown

Let me start by saying please ignore my grammar. I have been told it's bad. I am a Biology BS and to be honest that helped a lot in the studying process. I had recently taken Anatomy, Genetics, and Evolution, and Immunology the semesters before studying and genetics/evolution/anatomy/immunology...

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forums but I want to say that SDN has really helped me a lot in terms of resources, reassurance, and knowing what to do moving forward. I found other people's breakdowns super helpful so I wanted to give back. I registered for my DAT in December 2016 and started...

Never thought I'd write a breakdown post on SDN, but it's almost 3 AM and I have nothing better to do lol. Scores: Perceptual Ability Test: 24 Quantitative Reasoning: 22 Reading Comprehension : 25 (miracle) Biology: 21 General Chemistry: 24 Organic Chemistry: 23 Total Science: 22 Academic...

First off, I want to say thank you to this entire community. Everyone on here is very supportive and helpful. Having an awesome community of other people in the same boat made this experience a lot less stressful. Also, a special thanks to Nancy and Dr. Romano, Feralis, Don Kim, and Chad from...

Long time lurker, first time poster - I just got out of my DAT with some results that I'm very happy about so I couldn't help contributing to the breakdown threads! Here's my breakdown: PAT: 22 QR: 23 RC: 24 Bio: 26 GC: 26 OC: 27 TS: 26 AA: 25 I studied for about 8 weeks, 7-8 hours a day over...

Hi Everyone, This is my first time posting on SDN, but I have been reading other students comments for the past year or so. I created this account just to thank everyone for taking the time to post their experiences. With this post, I am trying to give back my fair share of experience. To those...

Hey! If you're reading this, chances are you're preparing for the DAT! You've got this! I'm writing this a bit late (I took the DAT on July 7, 2016 - lol), but I believe this breakdown will give a bit of insight on how to get a great score. I gave myself a little less than 3 months, and felt...

Hello SDN, I spent a lot of time reading breakdowns and study advice on SDN before my DAT, so I hope I can help some future students with my own. Since most pre-dental students are from a science background, I’m hoping I can add some input from an Engineering side. DAT Breakdown: AA...

Hello everyone, I took the DAT a few months ago and I found it super helpful to read through all the breakdown threads. Now that I have some free time (aka procrastinating on homework), I can finally write a my own breakdown. Hopefully this will be helpful to some of you. :) DAT Breakdown...

Inspired by Glimmer1991's Ultimate Breakdown Collection. Introduction Hey guys, 8_man here with a present for all you upcoming DAT takers. As a recent test-taker myself, nothing prepared me more than going through the breakdowns of those who absolutely killed it. Many others will agree with me...

Wow I can't believe it's finally over!! Took the DAT on 9/14/16 and spent the last two months locked in the library and it was totally worth it. I'm a psychology major and just finished my bachelor's in May so I've taken the minimum number of science classes required, so you don't need a heavy...

Hey everyone! I really enjoyed reading DAT breakdowns so I'm here to finally post mine! HUGE shoutout to @orgoman22 and @Ari Rezaei. The DAT Destroyer was a solid 10/10 and DAT Bootcamp was so on point with my actual DAT! Thank you so much for your resources, I couldn't have done it without you...

So relieved - beyond words. I took the exam 2 days ago, and only had the chance to finally type a breakdown now since my family decided to take a road trip to Florida the day after my exam. Firstly, I want to thank @orgoman22 for the wonderful book we all hold dear to our souls. Nancy, thank you...

Alright. So I just finished my sophomore year, and I’m a biology major (and philosophy minor!). I’ve been studying for about 3 months. I originally set out to study at least 6 hours a day, but with one class and the release of Pokemon GO, I was reasonably distracted and ended up studying 3-4...

First off, before I get into the breakdown of my studying, I just want to thank everyone for their helpful posts and keeping this forum thriving and helpful for many! I took the DAT July 27th, I want to help people that were just like me, reading through the detailed breakdowns of others to see...

Had to pay it forward to all of those whose studying habits helped mine. DAT breakdown: BIO 24/GC 24/OC 30/PAT 23/RC 24/QR 18 I'm honestly at a loss for words right now.... When I went through the PAT and QR sections I thought I would have to retake, but when the score came up at the end I...

I just want to give a little hope to those who are stressing out because this exam and give back to the forum that gave me soo many helpful tips. Since my GPA is only a 3.46 (w/o+- 3.39), scoring well means a lot to me. :) The night before the exam, I half slept for 2 hours bc I was so nervous...

Hi everybody! I just took my DAT today, so I thought I would post about my experience and share my scores. This post is long, but SDN was really helpful to me while I was preparing for the test, so I want to give back! This was my first attempt at taking the DAT. I will also talk about: How I...

DAT BREAKDOWN My sGPA is well below average so reading everyones breakdown with a 3.7 GPA gave me a false impression of what someone in my situation would feel on test day. So here is something I'm sure most people can relate to with a below average GPA. I had an unrealistic view of college...

Hi everyone, I recently passed my NBDE I and would like to share my experience with you. Before I start I just want to say that I am grateful for SDN pre/dental community. The breakdowns written from dental students before me really served as a valuable resource when I was studying for DATs...

Needed a few days to relax before I posted this- sorry guys. But I definitely stalked a million breakdowns before my actual test, so I just want to do my part to give back! Before I start, I just want to say that all it takes is hard work! I locked myself in my room for a month and a half and...

Took the DATs today! I wanted to do a score breakdown since I know they gave me a lot of guidance and motivation while I was in the studying process. Background: 1 year out of college, BS in biochemistry. I started studying the summer I graduated with the intention of only taking one gap year...

Here's a breakdown I put together for Dental Decks 2013-2014. It's a "14-day" schedule that a classmate shared with me and I made a few modifications and improvements. You can stretch it out to as many days as you want, it's just organized by topics rather than subjects. I found it easier to...

Hey folks! I just finished my DAT a few hours ago and figured that I would post a breakdown to give back to all the wonderful people on here that contributed to my success. I'll break each section down based on what resources I used, my thoughts of the exam itself, and what I did to...

September 29th, 2015: This is a breakdown of my entire DAT experience and tips for other pre-dents. I took the DAT today and decided to write this before I forgot it: In preparing for the DAT, I was very overwhelmed. I had been studying lightly using DAT Bootcamp's Question of the Day (I highly...

DISCLAIMER: This is what worked for me! You might not agree with me, but this is my opinion. Take what works for you and disregard anything that doesn't. Throughout my studying I read like 100 breakdowns... to find something that worked for me. Now onto the breakdown: Done with the DAT for...

Hi everyone! I'm generally quiet on the forums, but SDN has been so helpful to me that I thought I owe you all one and share my advice on studying for the DAT. Just took the DAT a few days ago and received the following scores: Bio 23 GC 26 OC 21 RC 27 QR 25 PAT 24 TS 23 AA 24 Practice exam...

Prequel: I decided to take the DAT a year a go. I was debating taking it last summer and holding off on some classes or getting another year of classes in under my belt before studying. So last summer I started reading books again (best decision ever) and slowly prepared myself for studying this...
