I just finished it today. I just want to kill myself. After 1st time and 3 months, total is 16🙁. I got a very hard test. I study a lot but biology was almost in evolution, taxonomy.. just few questions were actually from bio, genetic, anatomy. I thought I was worse than 15 that I got. And the math is crazy. I'm totally down for it. I'm good at math but it is horrible. Only thing makes me feel better is PAT=19. So any hope to get in Meharry or Howard? (GPA:3.51, DAT:16)😳

sorry to tell you but not likely, unless you are a minority. Asians don't count as a minority.

Hopefully if you plan on retaking, you can rock it!

how many taxonomy..there cant be more than 4 or 5

Hm... what materials did you use? Destroyer, kaplan? Did you study effectively? Try to look into your study habits if you exhausted all possible prep materials...

I use Kaplan, Topscore, Barron, Cliff. I practiced so much but the test I took today not even like any one I took and I practice. Dissapointed. I think I have to save the third chance to next year

Looks like it's time for you to jump on the destroyer bandwagon. It really is good for the sciences.

I know it sucks to hear it but I would recommend a retake ... study extra hard ... keep your head up and rock it

you didn't do destroyer? man, im just going to be honest with you. all these people who don't do well on the exam have no one to blame but themselves. if you really want to get into dental school, you should be using every material out there and MASTERING it. shouldn't matter how many times you go over the material, but that you should be getting 99-100% of the questions right. everytime u login to sdn, you see those three banner ads for destroyer, crack dat pat, and scienceaide? also, go back to your textbooks, and study every concept to the point where u can explain it to someone. getting a score that low you ahve to be missing 10-15 questions.

There's really no reason to point out how many questions the OP was getting wrong. The truth is that you don't know, nor is it helpful.

To the OP, don't get down about it. Just focus on what you need to improve on when you retake. You'll be ok, sometimes we all have to make adjustments to our gameplan.

thanks everybody, I will save my third chance and I will study to death. At the third time, I will rock on it. Baby once more time 🙂

Careful...Don't depend on one resource. Sure Destroyer will help but don't expect it to be the secret to success.
good luck
