DAT Biology Section Changes

Members do not see this ad.

For anyone who is planning on taking the DAT from this year forward, I am sure you have heard about the changes that will be made to the QR and Biology sections. For QR, the ADA website says that no changes will be made before 2015, however, information on the changes to the Biology section are very vague. I was wondering if anybody knew whether the new Bio changes have already been implemented and what exactly those changes consist of. I can't seem to find the answer to this question.

It says

The DAT Practice test is available for purchase through the Prometric web site. The
Committee supports continuing efforts to develop DAT practice tests, and will receive a
status update in February 2014.

so I'd wait until more info is posted after the next committee meeting.

Also says

Changes to Biology Test Specifications
Timeframe: 2014-2015; monitor DAT website.
