I'm in this situation where I already got an interview from UF. I feel that I did well and God willing I will hear good news from them. But I still haven't heard back from NOVA and I recently spoke to Su-Ann and she told me that they've been receiving DAT scores in the low to mid 20's on a consistent basis. My score is nowhere near that high and so I was wondering if I should retake it for a third time. The earliest I can take it is November 16th. I'm so stressed out it's not even funny 😕 What are your suggestions?

You have to ask yourself a couple of questions first. Like, 1) How much effort did I put into the 1st and 2nd DAT? In my case, I am taking the DAT for the third time this MONDAY. The first time i gave about 50% and got 16/16. The second time I gave 90%, got a 17/17. Therefore, being honest with myself, I realized that, the only thing left do to was to give 100% and have no regrets or disappointments.

If you honestly believe you gave your 100 % best effort, then I would be apprehensive about taking it the third time. good luck
