I know that this question is quite unlikely to be the smartest question asked in this forum but do I have to wait 90 days between taking the cDAT and the aDAT? I was hoping to take the aDAT in mid september and then register for the upcoming canadian one on November 6th. Thank you in advance for any responses.

There is no such limitation, or any at all for that matter. You can take them within 2 hours of each other if you can make it across the border in time.
I'm only asking b/c I read on the US DAT guideline that you must wait 90 days between consecutive tests... 😉 I'm guessing this only refers to US DAT b/c it's computerized and you can register whenever?
Each of the US and Canadian tests is administered by a different organization. The ADA will not allow you to register for a test that violates the 90 day rule, but there is nothing stopping you from registering for the Canadian test with the Canadian Dental Assocation. However, be warned that different schools have different policies regarding score submission. Make sure to call each school individually to see how they handle applicants who have taken both tests.
