dat

Hello I just took DAT last Friday and thought I would make a breakdown to give back to the sdn community. I've been on sdn without an account for a month and finally created the account :) I used the breakdown from @artist2022 as a template, thank you artist! Scores: PAT: 23 QR: 25 RC: 20 BIO...

okay so I’ve struggled with RC the whole time while practicing the DAT RC and taking the DAT my first time. i was ranging from 17-19 on all practice test and i made a 13!! My first time taking the DAT. I used the method where you list numbers on the page and write keywords next to the number...

Hi all, so every thread and their mother says that the 2009 exam is the best predictor of your actual DAT. My test is in a little over a week and I was looking forward to taking the exam a couple days before to see where I stood. Can anyone provide/email me a link or pdf to the 2009 practice...

Hey all! I took my DAT August 3 (I know that it's kind of late since I'm applying now). I wondered how long it usually takes for DAT scores to be sent to ADDSAS? I know some have said 3 weeks, but is that usually the case? If so, am I really late to the game? I scored okay, but I don't think I...

Hello, I am relatively new. I have been studying for little more than 2 months now, and I take my DAT on August 25th. Unlike most of the people, I already got into a dental school with a specialized 7 year combined degree program, so I just need to score 20 AA/TS or higher to fulfill the...

Hello! So I have made a few posts regarding the DAT as it is definitely the weakest aspect of my application. I have taken the DAT before and scored quite poorly... 17... ouch. I have been studying quite consistently reviewing materials to stay brushed up. But I am currently studying much harder...

I took my DAT exam today. Here are my scores: PAT: 22 QR: 16 RC: 29 Bio: 21 GC: 24 OC: 21 TS: 22 AA: 22 I don't know what to think about the 16 on my QR section. I spent too much time on the first half of the questions and ended up just having to guess randomly for a huge portion of...

So after a lot of research I finally decided that being a dentist is the best field for me. I had been pre pharmacy until now and have lots of pharmacy tech hours that are worthless. I have a 3.90 GPA and am going to start studying for my DAT starting september, I also have my letters of...

hello everyone My DAT is in 4 days and I don’t know what to do. I spent so much time on the sciences I forgot about PAT. I’m averaging 7/15 on each section. I’ve done all of BIO destroyer and half of GC destroyer. I haven’t completed all of BC practice tests. I’m averaging so far 18 in bio 18 in...

Hi everyone, so I know AR and TFE are pretty notorious for being some of the more difficult PAT sections to master. With angle ranking I've been doing practice everyday for the past few months (mainly using bootcamp generators) but I've seemed to hit a plateau recently and cant ever get more...

I finally took my DAT today and am almost done with finishing my application. I’m curious if applying this late affects my chances too much to where it’s better off for me to wait til next year? Is it true that you need a completely new manual dexterity and personal statement essay if I were to...

Hello fellow pre-dentals, I just completed my application with the submission of my DAT scores (20AA/18TS (20Bio/19Orgo/16GenChem/19QR/22PAT/24RC). I applied to 9 schools and UMD was honestly one of my top choices because of the price and how practical it is. They, however, emailed...

Both my father and aunt were accepted to dental school before graduating college. I was just wondering if I have all of my pre-requisite classes done and have taken the DAT is it worth applying early? Also if so, what sort of stats would I need/be most ideal? I just don't see the point in...

Hey everyone! Just took the DAT today after 3 months of studying, and did better than I expected. First off, here are my DAT Bootcamp scores on the individual practice tests. I'm not including the bio ones because I took those before I'd studied them well, and once I retook them I often...

Hello all, I found this nifty document on the ADA website a few weeks back and thought I'd share it with yall. Seems like a lotta people want to know what their DAT score is in percentile form and this document lets you figure that out using 2016 DAT data. This document is brand new as far as...

I'm scoring quite well on Bootcamp in everything with the possible exception of bio. I took a lot of those practice tests before fully learning the material, so it's kind of difficult to see where I actually stand in that subject (since I recognize questions on retakes). I did use DatQVault for...

Hey guys, So I am currently in the process of studying for the DAT. To preface my question, I have taken the DAT before and studied roughly 3 months in advance. Unfortunately I did not get the score I was hoping for and was below the average admitted score. I am curious if it is "acceptable" or...

Hi all! Very curious, I'm applying to about 15-18 schools, I currently have a 3.5 GPA, 3.4 sGPA, and amazing extracurriculars, letters and personal statement. I just recently took my DAT and did not score as well as I anticipated PAT:18 QR:17 Reading:18 Bio:18 Chem:16 Orgo:18 TS: 17 AA:17 I plan...

So a little background, I have been studying for the DAT for about 2 months now and have just recently started to take practice tests to test my level of understanding on the subjects. I take my DAT on the 18th of August so I still have a little under 3 weeks to prepare. So far my scores have...

Firstly, thank you to my friends and famliy who have supported me in this long long journey and also, thank you to every one who took their time out and responded to my questions on this forum. You guys are amazing!! 3 years ago, I was a dental student in Pakistan and everything was going...

Hey everyone! I’m new sdn and I wanted to use my first post to gather some opinions. A little about me— I am a veteran of the United States Air Force and current student-athlete. While in the military, I served as a dental assistant and was awarded the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service...

So I just took my DAT for the second time and I’m stuck. I’m not sure how I feel. The first time I took the DAT I got: PAT-20 QR-16 RC-20 BIO-19 GC-17 OC-16 TS-17 AA-18 This time around I got: PAT-22 QR-16 RC-20 BIO-21 GC-19 OC-19 TS-20 AA-19 I am currently working as a Dental assistant at a...

So its almost 1 am and of course im looking at some of the stats on here-- it got me thinking, that sometimes this feels completely impossible. What the actual f sdn???? I've been on this run for about 3 years now since graduating with my undergrad. I'm 26, Working as a dental assistant I'm...

I took the DAT on 1/8/2018 (lol this post is 7 months late) and this is my score: AA 22/ TS 22/ BIO 22/ GC 23/OC 22/ RC 22/ QR 22/PAT 22 Just a little background about myself, I am your typical Bio major and will be graduating June 2019. My GPA right now is actually slightly on the lower side...

hi guys I have been having nightmares about this. So I have a community college gpa 2.1 but a 3.89 Gpa in the 4- years college. I have a’s and b’s in all the pre req classes I retook my general chem and organic chem and got As. I took the dat got 22 and I have volunteering hours. do I still have...

These were the materials I used to study for the DAT. $200 for everything (Paypal), if you buy today I'll include my DAT Bootcamp subscription which expires Aug 3rd for free. I may also include access to my OneNote (all of my personal notes) for free if you're interested. Includes: CliffsNotes...

Hey guys! So I just finished my DATs today and surprisingly I knocked that thing out of the park. I will not be doing any long a** breakdowns yet I will say this. I studied mainly from BC and didn't really even touch destroyer. I personally thought destroyer destroyed my confidence which you...

I have gotten pretty good at angles, cube counting, and hole punching. I've been practicing using BC, however TFE and pattern folding have been tough, and I can't figure them out especially pattern folding. Any tips would be great.

Hello All! Long story short, I won an entire Kaplan review course but I keep reading that Kaplan is bad and you shouldn't purchase it. My question is, is it bad because its not worth the money? or Is it actually a bad product and I'm wasting my time using it to study? Thanks for all your...

Hey everyone, I took the DAT today for the first time. A little background on me: I just finished my second year of undergrad and just finished Org1 and 2 this past fall and spring semester. Here's my breakdown: AA 21 TS 20 PAT 20 RC 24 QR 19 BIO 18 GC 19 OC 24 I'm worried that despite my...

I took my DAT yesterday, and wanted to write this because I found it incredibly helpful to read basically all of the DAT breakdowns from the past year before starting my own study schedule, and because I think this one may benefit people who do not want to pay several hundred for subscriptions...

Hey everyone, I just took my DAT today, but the scores I got for the PAT were no where near what I wanted and there is a reason why I got it. Breakdown: Perceptual Ability 14 Quantitative Reasoning 18 Reading Comprehension 19 Biology 19 General Chemistry 24 Organic Chemistry 18 Total Science 19...

confused about this one: If an acid is weak, thus giving off less particles, wouldn’t that make less of a difference on the boiling/freezing point? Because the vant Hoff factor would be a smaller number... Explanation says: “HClO would be the weakest acid thus giving the fewest particles...

I've been taking Dr. Romano's bootcamp class this Summer and I feel that my studying habits are not the most effective. After class I feel tired and don't know how to regain energy to study. Can anyone give me advice and their DAT daily schedule?

Hi I’m applying to 18 schools and just submitted my application. I know i have sub average stats but i applied broadly and realistically. 18AA, 3.3GPA with a 3.75 the last two years, over 3000 volunteering hours, 300+ shadowing, strong LORS, great PS, and string ECs/leadership. Should i...

I am taking the DAT July 21 and was wondering if I will be considered "late". Everything else is verified and ready to go.
