Hi everyone,

I was told that DAT scores expire after 3 years but is it different in Texas?
The TMDSAS handbook says:
"The DAT must be taken within the last five years. A test score from a DAT taken before 2010 will not be considered for the 2015 entry year application."

I'm going to assume that its 5 years? Or am I misunderstanding this?

Thanks!
