about how often is the DAT held

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm pretty sure its whenever you want to take it. Though I heard that there's a down time. There's a specific month where no one can take the test. Can someone put more insight into this?
 
Almost any day. You can check availability here http://www.prometric.com/ADA/default.htm

Click start, pick your state, Search for Seat Availability, Dental Admissions test, ...

If you are planning on taking the exam in May, June, July. Those are obviously the busiest months since everyone is taking it then and applying. You should register for a day a bit in advance (maybe 1-2 months), or else everything might be full for the entire month when you want to take it.
