Hi guys,

I have a few questions to ask you.

When I registered for the DAT, I paid for the testing agency to send my scores...but I have a feeling that I will retake in July haha. I can just update the score and send the report myself to the schools once I retake it, right?
THe official score report, anyways, shows all the scores, correct?

Also, for the GPA conversion, is it the same as the AAMC medical school app website? Since ADEA application is not opened, I just calculated my GPA with AAMC's calculator...just wondering how different it is from ADEA.

THank you!! and good luck to everyone!

No, most D-schools will take your single best outing for the DAT. In other words, they will not take your top score from every section from multiple different DAT outings, they will simply take your top single test day.

after you take it in july you can tell ada to send your scores again. i think they send both your scores. each dental school is different when it comes to looking at mulitple dat scores.

i am not sure if the gpa conversion is the same..........but i do know AADSAS counts A+ as 4.3 where the medical school one counts A+ as 4.0.
