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!

Just wanting to know if anyone else is currently applying, or has already applied, and when you guys have taken/plan to take the DAT? I am submitting my app this weekend, but the DAT is July 27. I know I’m not early, but I’m also hoping I’m not the latest since it won’t technically be complete...

I have been using crack the DAT to practice reading and... I am doing TERRIBLE!!! I scored a 16 on most of the practice tests so I am kinda freaking out... for those who already took the DAT, is cdr similar to the actual DAT in terms of difficulty??

Hi guys! I really want to apply to dental schools. I actually applied last cycle and didn't get in (it's probably because I took my DAT like at the end of August eventhough I submitted everything way before that --> my AA is 22, TS 24, RC 16, QR 20, PAT 20, OC 28, GC 21 [RC is probably another...

Hey! First post on SDN. I didn't see any threads for the CO 2023, and in the midst of applications starting soon I thought I would make a thread. Feel free to post about your experiences, or general questions about applying/interviewing at UMKC SOD! Good luck everyone!:highfive: Link to...

To all planning on taking the DAT this summer or in the future, I will happily answer your questions.

I am retaking my DAT end of June and wanted to apply early since my stats aren't that good. 3.0 sgpa, 3.5 opga and 3.3 bcp. My old DAT score is a 19 aa and 20 TS. I've been studying and feel like I can score 23+( based on current practice exams). Should I wait until I have my new DAT score (...

i recently pushed my exam back 3 weeks and am struggling to figure out what to do: I originally went through all of Kaplan and then bought Bootcamp just before the exam. After taking the first five Bootcamp full lengths, my TS was averaging to about a 19-19.5, so I decided to push my exam back...

Hey everyone, so I've been using Mike's videos in conjunction with Chad's to study for both the OC and GC section of the DAT. Maybe someone would like to add their experience with using Mike's, but using both seems like a sure-fire way to do well on the two sections. I took the DAT on a whim...

Hello! I'm planning to take the DAT this summer but I feel like I forgot a lot of the materials from Bio, Chem, OChem because they were taken 1-2 years ago. I know DAT Bootcamp and DAT Destroyer and most of the DAT study materials are practice problems. Where or how should I start studying for...

Hey guys, so I have gathered some materials for my DAT prep including the destroyer which everyone seemed to recommend. However I am feeling a bit discouraged after looking into the credentials of so-called "Dr.Jim Romano" I could find no evidence of such doctor actually existing, and his social...

For DAT bio (just re learning the content) Im using Dr. Romanos bio notes PDF which is great, but i really want some bio videos as I just like videos in general when studying, anyone have any good playlists in mind? How are chad's DAT Bio videos? or his mcat bio videos thanks

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can give any advise on if I should retake my DAT or just apply with current scores? How likely would I be accepted if I apply this upcoming cycle in June 2018? My DAT scores are PAT-19 QR-18 RC-17 Biol-27 GC-21 OC-23 TS-24 AA-21. I know my science scores are really...

Hi

I've been following Ari's schedule for the past month and a half, and I'm about to start doing destroyer problems. Contrary to the layout of the schedule, I would like to go through all of the problems in each section (OC: 360, GC: 402, Bio: 685) at least twice in the month and a half that I...

I just moved back my test to June 30th from June 11th.Should I be worried about taking it too late? Will it hurt my chances? I plan on submitting everything else the first or second week in June.

Hey guys so I started studying for the DAT and not sure which resource to use for the math, so my thing with khan academy is it just feels so scattered and unorganized even the playlist (no offense to them they didn't make these videos with the intent of it focusing on DAT) and chad's videos...

Hey everyone, I have Barron's DAT prep 2nd edition and Kaplan DAT 8th edition for sale. Both are in very good condition because I did most of the work on separate notebooks. I am just trying to get rid of them so I can be really flexible with the price. I can also send you pictures of their...

Does the DAT emphasize more content from Gen Chem 1 or 2? And what do they generally provide for that section? Do they provide all the formulas or do you have to remember them? Solubility rules? Polyatomic ions etc.? Thanks.

Okay, (this is my first post on SDN so I apologize if I'm a bit ignorant to finer details of posting etiquette) I recognize with massive clarity that I'm in a horrible situation, and I'd really appreciate some advice. I've finally mostly, gotten past the sad stage and now I just want to improve...
