dat

Bio is taking me a really long time. I read through cliffs earlier when I began studying and feel like I forgot everything. I really have enough time to to either go through BIO Destroyer in detail ( like look up stuff and go through each answer choice, watch YT vids on the topic) or DR Romanos...

I just wanted to list dental schools that consider applicants with DACA status. I thought it would be convenient for future applicants with DACA status. So we won't have to worry about wasting our money and time. Anyways, I am a reapplicant and had 3 interviews last cycle. Unfortunately, I...

So I'm retaking my DAT on July 26th (got 17 AA last time, yeah I know horrible), and I already took all of the Bootcamp practice exams and DAT qvault (just for bio). I'm averaging about 20's in both for bio, and I'm averaging 19's on GC and OC on bootcamp. I already have used DAT destroyer for...

I have been a long time lurker on SDN. Today I took the DAT and scored pretty well so I decided to create an account and post my breakdown. I firmly believe that the Good Lord blessed me with a strengthened mind through this whole process and I want to help anyone else who's willing to work get...

I took the DAT today and while I was pretty happy with my scores, I don't know if my science will be good enough to get into California schools (CA resident). Should I retake or just take it and run with it? PAT/QR/RC/BIO/GC/OC/TS/AA 20 / 20/ 30/ 17/ 17/ 18/ 18/ 20 I'm happy and knew that I...

These materials helped me study for the DAT and do well - I'm a D2 now :) DAT DESTROYERS/ODYSSEY: $70 EACH OBO! (shipping included) KAPLAN DAT: $20 individually or $10 with purchase of a destroyer DAT Destroyer 2013 - great condition, no writing/highlighting MATH Destroyer 2013 - great...

Hi everyone, So I am taking the DAT in summer of 2019 around July, but for this summer I want to study biology just to refresh and make notes so when I study for the DAT they are clear and fresher in my head. Many people tell me its too early but I like to review a bit ahead not to completely...

Has anyone taken all/most of the BC Full Length Exams before they had studied thoroughly and then taken the Full Length Exams again after they had studied thoroughly? How much did your scores improve, and were your improved scores reflective of how you did on the actual DAT?

Hello, Im brand new to this website, so I apologize if I seem oblivious to things that might be obvious. Currently a junior at a small college in western New York, and will be taking Organic I in the fall and II in the spring. I'd like to take the DAT in late March, after I've been able to...

I memorized the answer accidentally, but don't actually understand why the .10 there?

Bear with my poor soul, I think I just really need a confidence boost and some motivation. Bio: 21 GC: 19 OC: 17!!!!!! RC: 20 QR: 17!!!!!!!! PAT: 18 :/ I really need to get a 20+ on my AA and hopefully a 20 on my TS (though I’d be happy with a 19). I am 6 days away and I don’t feel like I can...

Hey guys, Just took the DAT today and thought I'd share my insight and answer any questions to help others out. PAT 22 Bio 20 GC 23 OC 26 RC 21 QR 22 TS 22 AA 22 First of all, DAT Bootcamp saved my life. This is the most representative program I found and would honestly not waste money on...

Hi all, are there any resources for keyhole practice problems? I've done all the ones in bootcamp and qvault and need more problems to do. I heard crackdat but I can't afford to pay so much when I only need the Keyholes section.

So I just took my DAT and did well (21AA), but I'm mainly concerned with a low GC score. I wasn't expecting to do poorly in this section, made A's in Gen Chem, worked in a Chem lab in undergrad, etc. My overall undergrad GPA is 3.8, with a high science GPA. I obviously don't want to retake and...

Hey guys! So I was just wondering for those who have already taken the DAT, is the hardest part about the exam the content of the test, or moreso the time management aspect? For example, if you had more time on the exam would the test have been easier for you? I'm just wondering if I should...

I have my BSc degree in biology and Im in my first year of dental hygiene... took the DAT twice, my DAT scores weren't the best but they weren't bad 21 was my highest and 17 being my lowest mark avg was 19. Tried applying to Canadian dental schools and got the interview for Dalhousie Dental...

Hi everyone, I just took my DAT this morning after studying for three months and my scores were awful...I'm so discouraged. I'm aware of the 90-day wait period, but I'm wondering if it's even worth it to try and retake it in September (90 days from now) and attempt to apply for this upcoming...

On DATBC, thus far, I have been averaging 19-21 on the bio exams ranging from 26-32 correct, using almost all the time. however... I took DATqvault's free bio sample exam, finished with 30 minutes to spare scoring a 34/40. Now I am not sure what to believe in terms of whose test is more...

Hello! Am I the only one who has trouble studying for the OAT? I know the material because I have passed the class and am "breezing" along the study, but I feel as if I don't know the material because I don't know how in-depth the OAT will go (ex- Investment/payout of glycolysis vs the full 12...

I am writing this in response to anyone looking for study material. I took my DAT on May 30th and did what I would consider pretty darn good. I would have to say contrary to popular belief DAT destroyer was useless. I order the book went through all the problems and felt as if i learned...

Sorry if this questions seems RADICAL, but I am struggling to find info. So when I applied to take the DAT I selected the "send to all schools" option (At least I think I did). I took my DAT on the 29th of May and since I have uploaded the unofficial scores into my AADSAS application. Here is my...

With my DAT 2 weeks away, I’m still scoring 16-17 on QR. I have no idea why — I go over all my questions and am doing the destroyer but I still can’t seem to get more than 25/40 correct. Any suggestions?

I am the typical below average applicant lol and everyone on here only posts crazy high scores and stats but i know people get in below the 20+s and 3.5+s Anyways, i have a 3.3 GPA (strong upward trend 3.7 the last 2 years), an 18 AA, 18TS, 18 PAT, 20RC, and 1000+ volunteering, 250+ shadowing...

Hey does anyone know of a comprehensive DAT bio video series that covers all the material? I'm willing to pay i don't mind, I understand there is AP cliffs, BC notes, etc. but I just don't learn without videos from what I've noticed any help is appreciated thanks Mohamed Alsous

I just recently took the DAT and only studied for 2 weeks. I used the Kaplan Book to study and got a 21AA, 19TS, and 19PAT. I want to really improve my score, especially the PAT section. If I was to purchase one program which one should it be?

Hi I'm studying for my DAT right now, and was curious of any topics that practically guaranteed to show up on the QR, Ochem, Gen chem, and bio sections? Stuff that that shows up often and is known? Any help would be appreciated!

Hello, This is a random question. I signed up for a date to take the DATs before I had all of the information. I thought I had a set list of dental schools I wanted to apply to and I did not realize that when registering for your exam that you could leave all of the dental school boxes...

Questions: -How many hours of dental shadowing should I have? -Plan on taking DAT July. Have been studying a lot, still one month to go. Is this date considered okay to be early? Thanks a lot!

Hellooo everyone :) I was originally not going to take the DAT this summer and planned a 5 day vacation (roadtripish) in the middle of june. However, circumstances change and I decided to take the DAT! I will start studying June 1st and plan to take it on the 4th of August. ( Cant take it from...

I have a theoretical scenario I can't seem to find an answer to.. I hope someone can help me out. Suppose I took the DAT in May and my scores are average. If I apply and get denied from my schools is it possible to retake the DAT in September, get a higher score and reapply in the same...

Hey guys! So I have a undergrad GPA from a foreign institution which is about 3.17 after conversation to American scale. I also got my associates in dental hygiene with a 3.12 cumulative GPA. I want to know how my gpa is calculated by AADSAS because my dental hygiene gpa was calculated on a much...

Hi everyone. I am planning on applying to dental school this cycle but worried my DAT scores aren't good enough. My GPA is a 3.9 (science and overall). I have tons of volunteer work and research experience. I feel that my only weakness is my DAT (particularly PAT). My scores are: AA: 20 TS: 20...

Hey all, This forum has always been super helpful to me. I found it very beneficial to look at other students DAT break downs and see what they recommend and what they did to prepare for the DAT. So today I hope to return the favor! I will start with score comparison between DAT Bootcamp tests...

I haven't really taken any timed tests yet, but my most recent stats from the DATBC sample tests thus far are: bio: 22 (biggest weakness is embryology/taxonomy, haven't really learned these subjects. I missed all of the questions related to these topics, which is around 6 questions, so there's...

Hello everyone, Up until recently, I was a pre-med student. I am entering my senior year of college and I need to figure out my path, especially when it comes to prepping for the entrance examinations. After shadowing some MD's I realized that while the profession is immensely rewarding, it may...

I have taken DAT 8/12/2017 and planning to apply next cycle (2019-2020 application cycle). I think it would be around 2 years if I apply June of 2019 since my DAT score passed; will this be ok? Thank you for help!
