Hi guys, I just got back from my exam and thought I'd post this breakdown as quick as possible to get my fresh thoughts posted. My goal was to get an AA of 22 and well I did meet my goal and I'm very happy. I hope this breakdown can give you some insight on what I did to prepare for this exam...
Officially done! I can't tell you how good it feels to have this test completed, it quite literally took over my life these past 2 months. During my time studying this forum was my lifeline. SDN would immediately have a response to my most obscure questions, so I wanted to post a quick version...
Hello Everyone,
I just took my DAT this morning and managed to score fairly well.
My scores:
BIO/GC/OC/RC/QR/PAT/TS/AA
21/ 23/ 23/ 20/ 21/ 22/ 22/ 22
I can honestly say I performed far better than I thought I did once I finished the end survey.
First things first. I studied a bit on and off...
Hi SDN! I took the DAT July 26 2017 and I'm finally done with the beast. I scored a 22 TS, 21 AA and my full breakdown is (see attachment for paper copy):

Just finished taking the DAT today! I know that when I was studying the past couple months, reading other people's breakdown really helped me, so I wanted to do my part and share my thoughts and my study materials on the DAT.

I took the DAT a few days ago. If you're reading this then you are doing exactly what I had done for the past two weeks straight it feels like. And reading about 24AA scores made me feel inadequate and dumb. Hopefully this helps out some more normal folks like myself. Remember that this is just...
I just took my DAT and I want to give some hope to the rest of you studying!
I did SO MUCH BETTER on my actual DAT than DAT bootcamp practice tests. I don't think that is the norm but there is the possibility to bring up your scores. I retook each practice test and I really made sure that I...
So for the past 2 weeks or so I've been reading all the DAT breakdowns and they've both given me hope as well as a ridiculous sense of dread that I'm not going to be anywhere near there. So I just wanted to give out my 2cents for those in between-ers. I studied for around 4 weeks. The first week...
Hey guys!
So you all provided me with tons of resources during my study process, so this is my way of saying thank you. Thank you for the breakdowns and video links and encouragement! I am going to try to make this breakdown as useful as possible so please excuse the length. I went in aiming...

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...

First of all, I want to thank SDN for this amazing community. Without this website and the people, I may not have attained these scores. This breakdown is for all my fellow non-traditional students. I have a lot to say, so please brace yourself for a long breakdown.

Hello everyone,
I just took the DAT and first I have to say, I have never felt better to have it done!!! Once I saw my scores I literally sat there and just smiled at the screen for a good 5 minutes. (I know they are not the most impressive ever seen on SDN, but I am very very proud of myself)...
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...
Hey Guys,
I just finished my DAT and I've specifically created an account just to give back and give advice. Literally made it after my exam haha. My score is not super high by any means, lol this website is filled with 24's. I am proud of how I did I studied literally all summer and I'm...

Hello everyone! I took the DAT yesterday and it was pretty hard.
I haven't posted anything on this forum yet but I just wanted to say thank you to this SDN community for being an available and open source of great help and tips! Also, thank you SO much @orgoman22 and @Ari Rezaei, I really...

Hi,

AA 21
TS 20
BIO 19
CHEM 23
ORGO 22
QR 21
I want to know if I will get into any schools. and what to do to increase my chances. Please help! Thank you.
First off, I call this a surprise not because I was shocked by my score. But to show how you can prepare for low cost and be prepared with less studying and preparation. Also, I did not use all the fancy and suggested sources people recommend except for bootcamp.
Where to begin, where to begin...
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...
Hey guys,
I was wondering when do you know that you are fully ready to take the DAT say your target score is a 20AA should you be averaging this score on boot camp to know your ready for the actual thing. Please I feel its killing me on the inside not knowing if I am ready or not.
Hey guys! Just finished my DAT today and I don't know how to feel about my scores.

I guess after my 30 min break, I just dropped the ball and got a 17 in RC and 16 in QR...
Dear Dental Community, Hope all is well.
1. I would like to buy recent DAT Destroyers for cheap, please let me know if you are selling them
2. I have a full-time job and would like to ask for a study schedule for DAT studying
3. What are the best resources/study materials for DAT? Any coupon...
Hey guys I wanted to seek your opinion on supplementing cliffs with "Kaplan MCAT Biology Review Second Edition" has anybody tried this and succeeded by doing so for the biology section. In my opinion I am just finding cliffs to dry!
Hey guys,
I wanted to seek your guys opinion on this should I schedule my time for the morning or afternoon, I am indifferent about it because I have taken exams in undergrad in the late afternoon around 6 p.m but being so late I tend to have gotten bit more nervous but was comfortable in the...
Hey guys I was wondering I wanted to get some extra pat practice and was going to get cdp but then i taught why not just get dat genius for around the same price and have science and pat exams to study i have bootcamp as well should i do this and get genius instead of cdp is it helpful in pat?
Hey peeps!
I took my DAT today and OMG it was really something lol I finished the science section with 15 minutes to spare..how does that even happen!?
Well anyway, here are my scores! Btw, I got destroyed in math :( Praying that the adcoms interview/admit me!

Glad to be done and be able to usher in summer and some relaxation!

If you have any questions, DM me or post in the comments and I’ll do my best to try and get back to you!

Holy shiiiiiiii, can't believe I'm done (*literally going through withdrawals as I write this). First off let me start by saying that I am not more academically gifted than you (yes you), and if I can do it you can too. I swear. You just have to put in A LOT of hours, put up with a lot of...
I survived!!!
Ok guys, I know my scores aren't the highest you're going to see on here, but I wanted to do a breakdown anyways. I know how I looked at a ton of breakdowns before I took my DAT and I know I got a little something different from each one, so I hope this helps!
First off, my...
Hey guys, I was wondering if people can post some of their reading comprehension strategy or given any links of breakdowns with method, and anything else that might have improved your score that you implemented.
Hey guys,
I wanted to know where to start with arguably one of the hardest section on the Dat the Pat section. My questions are where do I start to build a good foundation and what materials/methods I can use and learn to consistently score 20+. I am a novice at this section so if anybody could...
I wanted to seek guidance on what would be the best strategy to use with destroyer because a lot of threads I have personally read say to go through destroyer twice but wouldn't you by convention remember the answer from previous. Also after answering the questions what should you do after to...
