90 Day Wait Period Plus More

[Duysal]

OK, I'm really in a bind, if a bind can be created by an unintentional DAT delay of a week or two.

I took my first DAT in late August, and I need to take it again. The 90 day waiting period ends Nov. 27th. Only AFTER sending all schools a note describing that I will be taking my second DAT in late November, and AFTER paying for my DAT retake today, did I get a reminder on the receipt that only after 90 days has lapsed, the ADA will be processing my application to retake the DAT! This means late November will probably turn into early December--- NOT what I told dental schools today (I didn't know till I saw the receipt). What should I do?? I emailed the ADA today, and am not really expecting any positive responses from them. Should I re-contactthe schools and let them know the situation? I'm worried they will define early December as too late.

Please help, anyone.

Thanks.

I would call the schools and see what they say. If its a matter of a week or so its may be no big deal

I was worried about this for a while. Call ADA and tell them that you need the confirmation email as soon as possible. I got my email yesterday. I took my first DAT July 28th I believe, and yesterday was somewhere around 80th day from my previous DAT. I scheduled my exam next Friday, which is ~90th day from my previous exam. So if you are on top of things, you could take it exactly after 90days.

Moving to DAT. 🙂

Applications to retake the DAT are processed on the last Tuesday before the 90th day elapses. You should receive a confirmation email the same day and can contact Prometric the following day to schedule your appointment. Prometric requires at least two business days notice to test, after which your appointment date is dependent upon availability at test centers near you.

This person re-took the test in less than 90 days. Send them a PM and I'm sure they'll concede as to how they pulled it off. 👍
