hi

guys, I have question about DAT. I already took DAT and got a little bit good score. I am going to retake in next August. After I will finish my DAT, They will ask u to save your score or not. If I will have low score compare to past score, then I will not save that low score. They will send my low score to dental colleges what i mentioned in application. My past score will be used for my 2006 cycle......or not......???????????

THe real DAT is similar to Kaplan's but a bit easier. I was shooting for 18's on KAPTests and pulled a 21on the real thing . THough know that I didn't take the Kaplan class.

I struggled with reading comp too (like 15 - 17 on practices and 19 on the real). So I tried using the road map method and writing everything down key phrases and numbers that you read. Don't take the time to read the whole thing. Just skim and right down the best things. Some of the things you already know and you can answer them. Some are common sense and some you need to hunt for.

Just know that the answers are all there in front of you. You just need to find them. 😀

Best of luck to you.
