Took the DAT today! I looked at so many other peoples posts to get an idea where I stood before I took it so I figured it might be helpful to other people. I would say I'm a pretty average pre-dental student. I studied for 10 weeks 5-8 hours a day 5-6 times a week. I took some days off...

Hi, I am gonna be a junior next year but I took DAT today. When I applied for the DAT, I mistakenly clicked "send the scores to all the schools". And I did pretty bad today. So my scores are sent to all the schools now even I didn't apply? will they keep a record of it and influence my future...

Hey guys! So I just took my DAT today, and I'm bummed about my QR and GC scores, as they brought down my AA. I was average/decent in everything else. I've always struggled with math on standardized tests, and it didn't help that I was SUPER nervous.. like to the point where I couldn't eat or...
