Hello, I have just started studying for the DAT a few weeks and need to schedule a test date. I am considering taking it during my spring break which will give me like 2 months to study (on top of my courses) and the entire week of spring break. This would give me time in case I need to retake it but I hope to do well on my first test. Should I take it in March or take it in May after my finals?
 
Whenever you feel most prepared. Thats the most important thing. If it was me and I had to choose between those two, March would win. I woudnt want to have studying for finals and DAT at the same time. If I could choose option 3, I would choose June or July.

Either March or May would coincide fine to be considered early in this years application cycle.
