First Attempt

Hey everyone!
I have a question.
To take the DAT for the 4th time.. do you have to wait a whole year from your last DAT or is that AFTER your 4th time that you can only take it once a year?
Thanks
Currently in pre-dental , I recently wrote the Canadian DAT and scored as follows :
RC:21
Bio:20
Chem:22
PAT:19
AA:21
oGPA 3.93
sGPA 3.87
I am fairly confident I could do better on my PAT as I was rushed because I spent too much time on the keyholes (due to the fact there was no visible...
I am going to start studying for the DAT on Monday and I'm getting excited to start going. What are the most effective ways to take notes while studying? My friend uses OneNote for his MCAT prep notes, but I'm more of a paper and pen person. Although using the computer it will be a lot easier to...
Hey guys, so I took my DAT a few months ago for the 2nd time and got a 16AA, which was worse than the 1st time I took it which was a 17AA.
I took it after submitting my app and got an interview for my in state school. Everything went great but I just got a call today that the admissions...
So when I selected schools for my DAT scores when registering for the DAT, I selected every school on the list. After reviewing which schools had my scores, only the east and west dental schools had them. I am from the midwest and none of my top choices have my DAT scores.
What happened? Is...

So who's giving the DAT this november? Please share and tips and tricks which work for you!
especially for the PAT section! Getting screwed in the form development and angle ranking part!
Also, did anyone notice that angles look a bit off in Crack DAT PAT?
Hi guys
I already applied for this cycle with AA 19. Do you guys think it will make any difference for this cycle if I retake DAT (by the end of December) and let the schools now that I am retaking it? or it will make no difference even if I get a higher score since I already applied?
hey guys. So I took my DAT last year and scored low. Like an 18AA 18TS 16QR 19CHEM/OCHEM. Applying this year was kind of a gamble for me. So as soon as i submitted my AADSAS in june, i immediately starting studying for my DAT retake. I did this so if i wasnt to get in, I would be ready for next...

hey,
So I'm re-studying for the DAT, and I have the 2016 version of DAT Destroyer?
Are there any major differences between the latest version and the 2016 version? I'll be re-taking the test sometimes in January or February... early March at the very latest.
Any thoughts?
Thank you all so...
I'm turning 27 in December. A lot has happened over the course of the last 10 years- 3 of them were spent on a full-time service mission, I got married, had a baby, and our son later passed away. So needless to say, I've been in and out of school for a while. I'm currently a junior (undergrad)...

I wasn't going to write a breakdown because my scores are average at best (and aint noone wana read that). BUT there are a few things that I wish I would've realized during my studies, and I wanted to share how I suffered from VERY BASIC DAT advice that i've probably read like 20 times. So to...

Hey guys, I have decided to take the DAT during this coming winter break. Just wondering if one month is sufficient? I will be taking 15 hours during the fall so I won't have that much time to study during the semester. I will be applying next cycle. Do you guys recommend Chads videos, dat...
First, I would like some advice from people who took the DAT or people that know what sort of material to study with.
I'm currently studying the Kaplan DAT 2016 Strategies, Practice and Review. I went over the entire book once, and now I'm going over it a second time. I don't know what else I...
Hello everyone--
I am currently pursuing a journey to dental school that I'm not sure is even attainable. I'm not necessarily trying to ask if I stand a chance of acceptance--alot of people are backing me up and encouraging me--I just want to know if anybody thinks I'm crazy :). So here we go...

I am selling my subscription to DAT bootcamp. I have a little more than 2 months left on it. I'm selling it for 100$, but you can also email me best offers. [email protected]
I am looking for more practice exams for the DAT. I know of the free ones offered by Princeton Review, DAT Bootcamp, and DATQVault. I am approaching my test date and want to expose myself to the test as much as possible through taking and reviewing practice exams.
Sidenote: I am finishing the...
Hello everyone!!

I am a re-applicant that just finished undergrad with a 3.2-3.3 science gpa from UNC and DAT 17. I had a bit of a downward trend in just my senior year which caused a big dip in sgpa, but a upward trend my from freshman to junior year (peaking at 3.42 or so). I am retaking the DAT next month and...
I have been studying for the DAT now for 4 weeks and averaging a 18AA 19PAT overall. I would like more time to study so that I can get a 20AA. Would taking the DAT in the last week of July still be considered early? I submitted my application on June 5 and my gpa is verified and LOR are in. Plus...
Anyone selling their DAT Destroyer and/or any other materials such as the bootcamp? If so Please feel free to leave contact info and let me know the condition of the materials beforehand. Pictures would be helpful. Thank you.
