Today, I had extreamly difficult time with Bio and RC. My DAT score is much more worse than TopScore's one. I am so frustred with the result.

How do you study Bio? I have Kaplan Blue book, Schaum's outlines and CliffsAP Bio. However, questions on DAT required more detailed knowledge.

I will retake the DAT on December. I know it is too late, but I have no choice. Do I have to send letter or call dental schools and explain retaking reason and date? I applied five schools in July.

what schools did you apply, what are your stats, etc. You should provide us with more info so we can help out.

Try reading a chapter or two of Campbells every night between now and your test. It's actually a pretty easy read even though its a text book. That should definitely help you Bio. score.

what is this frap i keep reading about lol and is it a bio question or a RC passage?

 

[dentalplan]

FRAP is a bio question....but it also means you'll also be getting the impossible ethics passage (when your at the RC section)

FRAP version of the test = FRAP bio question question + long 39 paragraph ethics impossible RC article. GL!

I know how you feel. I had the FRAP my second time around. It was a nasty pitch. I read somewhere that schools know which version of the test you take and base interpretations of that. Just a rumor so don't harpoon me for it.

haha I hope they know I got Pianoed...probably not quite as hard as FRAP, but hard nonetheless

I had three TopScore around 18~20, but my DAT was below average.

I applied UoP, Columbia, Boston, Tufs, NJDS.


My GPA is 3.8 / Bio research experiences / Showdowing 140hrs

If you were only bagging 18-20 on practice tests, why would you apply to only 5 schools, 1 of them being IVY and anther a state school. I would suggest applying to a few more schools, schools that have easier standards. These schools are from the most competitive in the country. Apply to NOVA, Temple, UNLV, I dunno other schools that are a little less competitive.
I dont know what you mean when you say your DAT is below average, how low is this.
