I might not be able to take my exam as scheduled, and I want to reschedule it to the next period of time that I'm free in. This is past the eligibility window. Ada allows me to pay $130 to extend the window by a few months which is enough for me. My question is, will I only have to pay $130? Or...

Hi everyone. So my DAT eligibility window closed on May 8th, I meant to extend it, but I forgot. I originally wanted to take it before June 1st, before the school application opens. I tried to start a new application for DAT, but my application status says"In Process," and I'm not allowed to...

Hi everyone! I’ve really enjoyed these posts and think they are super helpful to gain an idea of what to expect for the exam and how to best prepare. Obviously, everyone prepares for these exams a little differently, however here is what worked best for me. A little background: I just graduated...

Hello, I will begin studying for the DAT soon using the DATBooster 10 week schedule. I plan to allot 12 weeks to this process because I will be volunteering once per week (just a few hours), I have a mandatory 2-3 day event to attend this summer, and I may need the extra time in case I get sick...

I'm a first year grad student, started this fall semester (Sept). The dental cycle is opened, and I do not know if I am allowed/can apply now even though my first semester grades will be released in December (after my final exam grades are posted). I also took my DAT last year.

8/16/22 Hiii everyone! Reading all of the past DAT breakdowns helped me a lot throughout my studying journey, so I wanted to share my personal experience. I only had 2 weeks to study, so it was pretty stressful, but I’m glad it turned out well. To those who only have a short period of time to...

Good afternoon y'all, I come for some advice. I am taking my DAT this Saturday (8/20/22). I have been studying since the beginning of April, I followed Aris schedule and have been doing a practice exam every other day since last week. I try to replicate the exam setting as close as possible...

Hello All, So i dont take my DAT until January, but have spent this summer to do a majority of my studying. I started in May and have been using primarily Bootcamp. While everything is going great, i am struggling in the PAT BAD. I went through Joel's videos, and have been doing practice...

I wanted to share my DAT experience with everyone and hopefully receive/give helpful insight! I have no idea if my DAT score is considered "good" as it is heavily lopsided. Perceptual Ability: 18 Quantitative Reasoning: 17 Reading Comprehension: 28 Biology: 30 General Chemistry: 19 Organic...

My test is on August 3rd and so far I have been studying bio using the pre made bootcamp anki decks. However, I've heard so many good things about the Feralis deck that it has made me consider using those instead. I'm a bio major so I feel like I have a good chance at scoring highly on that...

Hi everyone! After finishing up the DAT this past Monday, I finally have had time to post a breakdown. Since I used so many other breakdowns to develop my study schedule, I wanted to be able to give back a little bit. This period can feel overwhelming, but the time you put in now will truly pay...

Hi everyone!! I never thought I would be the one making this but here I am!! I just took my DAT this morning and I am very happy with my results, and I hope I can ease some stress with my breakdown! (It's kinda long sorry) I started studying towards the end of March and took my DAT on June 15...

Im currently getting 70-80 correctness on question banks for Bootcamp. This is very concerning since 1. Represent what I might expect I'll see on the DAT (although a bit harder) 2. You can only miss 4 questions on the sections for a 20 apparently 3. Information is very fresh for each section My...

Hi!! I took the DAT this morning. I was pretty happy with my score, but I was seeing the average TS of some schools and now I am a little worried- especially for my low general chemistry score!! My scores are PAT: 22 QR: 20 RC: 26 Biology: 21 General chemistry: 17 Organic chemistry: 19...

Hi, I got a lot of hope from reading other journeys similar to mine while I was in the process so I thought I'd share! I was *finally* accepted to dental school this cycle! About me: Non traditional (I graduated with my Neuro degree in 2015) took the rest of my pre-reqs at both a community...

Hello everyone!! I took my DAT yesterday, and am so happy with my scores! I found breakdowns so helpful before and during my exam prep, so I wanted to share my experience. Resources I used: DAT Booster, DAT Destroyer, Bootcamp, and Anki. I bought Booster and Destroyer and the start of my...

Hi guys, I'm taking DAT next week, but I might have to retake it. Since I have to wait at least 90 days, it will be end of March 2022. I was wondering if it’s possible to schedule the test date ahead of time or do I have to wait 90 days to schedule the test date? I'm just worried about not...

So I'm finishing up my masters at Rutgers Biomed, however, I came in as premed. GPA has been a 4.0 but due to undergrad and copious credits I took, it only brings it up to above a 3.4. I'm Asian so if I continue w/ medicine I'm most likely going to osteopathic school. I'm not okay with becoming...

Hey all, I took my test in August 2021 and I’m more than happy with my scores! Seeing everyone’s breakdowns really helped me figure out how to go about studying so I wanted to share some info as well. Before any of that though, I wanted to give some words of encouragement: I graduated from...

Hi everyone, If the last time I took the test was 2018, does that score get included in the application with the new one? Or do those scores 3 years or older just dont get counted anymore? I would like to show schools that I did improve from the previous scores.

Hi, I'm a pre-dental student, and I have some questions about what classes to take before taking DAT. I took Gen. Chem 1 and 2, Bio 1, Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 and Microbio 6-10 years ago. I'm planning to take Bio 2, Orgo 1, and Biochem in Spring 2022 while studying for DAT and take DAT in...
