Hey! If you're reading this, chances are you're preparing for the DAT! You've got this! I'm writing this a bit late (I took the DAT on July 7, 2016 - lol), but I believe this breakdown will give a bit of insight on how to get a great score. I gave myself a little less than 3 months, and felt...

Hey SDN. I took my DAT earlier today, and I just thought I would share my experience with everyone. I used several posts like this to help me throughout the process. There is honestly nothing more helpful than learning from past test takers. I studied for a total of 3 weeks (8am-8pm every day...

Hi everyone! Im planning on taking the DAT this coming summer but i will be studying all summer and taking it at the end. I was curious as to what material i should be using? Based on previous standardized exams i'm not the best at english/reading comp. Im currently taking bio 1 now and will be...

Like the title says I didn't do so great on the PAT. Here are my scores: RC: 22 - 74th percentile Bio: 24 - 89th percentile GC: 23 - 92nd percentile PAT: 17 - 24th percentile TS: 23 - 92nd percentile AA: 23 - 90th percentile I was wondering if anyone thinks there is a point in applying to...

I knew not to use the line counting strategy for TFE so I never even attempted to learn how to use it. But, I guess when I was practicing using the generators I picked up on how the horizontal lines of the front and end views need to match up and that the vertical lines of the front and top...

Okay so I already purchased the basic Crack PAT, and have been practicing on that, (5 total full tests) however, I was wondering if anyone in the SDN community can help me out with suggesting any other possibly free pat material... so far I know there is dat genius & dat bootcamp's 1st pat exam...

Hi everyone, I took the DAT last month and received a 20TS, 19AA but a 16 in PAT, so I finally decided to retake it since I sent out my application this cycle prior to taking the exam. I used bootcamp generators to study for the DAT, the sections I struggled the most with were keyholes, TFE and...

um is this an error.. like the half circle CLEARLY has those two straight parallels under it making it stick out.. how can the answer be like that with just a little bit of the half circle out i don't get it.

I'm taking my test next week and am a little worried about how the laminated paper works. I've been using a white board and drawing one large 4 x 4 grid which I use for all of the hole punching problems. I heard the markers on test day are not erasable though, should I draw 15 grids instead...

So I just started practicing the PAT portion of the DAT and I decided to go with DAT Bootcamp. I am wondering how similar these question types are to the real deal, I've attached a picture of one that I just did, but it takes a good min to see the pattern. I am starting to get the hang of things...

Hi, I can not seem to find a thread that answers my question. On the DAT how many folds can I expect on the hole punching section? In addition, how many hole punches? I usually see 2 or 1 whole and a half. I may have seen 3 on a DAT BC question. For cube counting, how many cubes are there...

Hello, guys. Long time lurker on sdn. I appreciate your contributions to the community! Quick question: How much do dental schools weigh TS and PAT compared to AA? Obviously AA is more important, but I scored few points higher on TS than AA, so i was wondering. The math section brought my...

First off, before I get into the breakdown of my studying, I just want to thank everyone for their helpful posts and keeping this forum thriving and helpful for many! I took the DAT July 27th, I want to help people that were just like me, reading through the detailed breakdowns of others to see...

one month into my studying and I can't get one TFE right... Wtf is wrong With me I literally don't get this section in any shape and form. Don't link me no wicked sick pat crap because I read every page of the forum and I still don't get ****. I've watched every YouTube video possible. I...

Hey guys, First time taking my DAT--looking at taking it next week. Here are my Bootcamp/CrackDat PAT scores. Am I ready? CDP 21/22/21/22/22/23/22/21/21/22 DAT BC 21/21/20/21/21/20/21/21/21/22 I don't really know what to expect in terms of difficulty for the real deal, because I've heard...

I started PAT with someone teaching me online. Of course, I learned the line counting method from someone online and it got stuck. I know we cant do that anymore (figures!) and now i am struggling. Any advise? Please let me know. Id be forever grateful!

Hey guys, I have my DAT in about 4 weeks and I have a question from people who have recently completed the DAT. For the PAT section, I have been primarily using Bootcamp, as I have heard it is the most "representative" software. In your opinion, how do individual sections on Bootcamp compare...

I just took my first complete Bootcamp test and these are my scores: BIO- 22 GC-24 OC- 30 RC-20 QR-18 PAT-16 I took one of the practice PAT test yesterday, and got a 16 too. My test is in 5 days, and I'm thinking of rescheduling because of my PAT scores. I'm having the hardest time doing well...

Hey guys! So I read through a bunch of different forums about CRACK DAT PAT before I purchased it. But everyone had different ideas about CRACK DAT PAT compared to the real DAT. All the posts I've read were from a few years back so I wanted to see if anything had changed. Also any other tips on...

Hi everyone. I am freaking out because my DAT is tomorrow. I cannot reschedule and studying has been tough as I am working full time and only get a few hours of studying a day. What are my chances of getting at least a 20 or above on each section? Are my bootcamp scores too low? Any last...

Hey guys! I am currently studying for my DAT and I can tackle all the other subsections in PAT but TFE gives me the most trouble. I have been doing the TFE generators with DAT bootcamp but I wasn't sure if you guys had tips on different ways to tackle these problems! Thanks guys!

Hi guys, I am just going to be upfront and let anyone who is willing to help me that I am in desperate need of TFE and Hole punching. Its gotten to the point where I went and bought a hole puncher just so I can realize what mistakes I keep doing. For Crack Dat I pretty much cringe after seeing...

Hello everyone, I have been lurking here for a few weeks and decided to share my technique for distinguishing some of the more difficult angle ranking problems. For acute angles where the hill or laptop won't suffice, I attempt to imagine the angles as a grappling hook of sorts. Envision...

I just took the DAT and scored: Bio-21 Gchem-22 Ochem- 22 TS- 21 PAT-19 RC-26 QR-18 AA-22 I know PAT is important, but is a 19 PAT low enough to prevent me from getting into dental schools?

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dat-angle/id1114175055?mt=8 Hi guys, an app I've been working on to help study for the Angle Ranking portion of the DAT just went live on the App Store. It's free. I decided to create some affordable apps after seeing how expensive is it to get prep material...

Thanks guys, would love your experience

Hello everyone, I just wanted to say that I am F R E A K I N G out over the DAT. I have a 3.8 GPA, over 500+ hours of volunteer work in dental/underserved work, attended an AMAZING dental mission trip, and have great letters of recommendation. The only thing left in the game is the DAT. I...

Hi! So I have started to practice with Crack the DAT for the PAT section and honestly, I suck at most of the PAT portion. I just can't visualize Top-Front-End, Hole Punching, and pattern folding. Any advice on what to do, or any helpful visual links anyone found helpful? Thanks!

I am having trouble with the obtuse angle problems. It's annoying! Can I align an edge of paper with the lines on screen to retain my sanity? Thanks.
