Hey guys, I'm finally done with the DAT and here are my scores:

PA 18 (61.1%)
QR 13 (15.3%)
RC 18 (44.0%)
Bio 21 (91.7%)😀
GC 20 (81.3%)
OC 20 (81.3%)
TS 20 (86.2%)
AA 18 (64.2%)

Thanks for all the advise many of you gave. Most of the stuff I studied came from your comments ie Destroyer, Kaplan and Crack the PAT. I don't know what went wrong with the math. I just had a complete brain fart or something. I studied hard for that section. I know my score is not the best and the average is a 19-20 AA so I was wondering if anyone knows some schools I should apply to. My top school is UF😍 but other than that I just would like to become a dentist. My gpa is 3.82 and I have military experience as a dental assistant 91E. Any input would be great. Thanks again for the advice.

I used DAT destroyer, Kaplan online and Top Score. The Kaplan online was very helpful for the bio and the destroyer was great for the chemistrys. I thought I was doing well on the math but I guess not. Somebody on the network said the math score average was supposed to drop for some reason but I don't know if thats true or not. The crack PAT was excellent but I didn't put enough time in it because I thought the sciences would be looked at more closely by dental schools. I hope its enough because I hear alot of people getting 20 and above. If theres one piece of advice I could give anyone for the DAT, its know a little about pianos 👍.

I want to know how you managed to score less than a 20 on the math part!

When I was applying to a private high school, I was required to also take a math admission exam along with other exams. And guess what? The material covered there is very similar to the sample DAT questions I have seen, and that was just for freshman year high school.

I think that you will be fine, apply to a bunch of schools and see what happens. Your GPA is solid and if you get an interview I think that you will be able to explain away one bad score.

Good luck
