DAT expiration date??

I am currently a raising junior, and I'm scheduled to take my DAT at the end of August (summer b/t my sophomore and junior year). I know most people take it spring of their junior year, but since I finished all my prerequisite classes, I figured that it's best to take the DAT this summer.

I'm planning on applying the summer of 2015. But if I do not get in that cycle and applied the next cycle (summer of 2016),would my DAT scores be invalid? I know most dental schools only accept the DAT that's no older than 2 years.

Now I'm debating on whether to even take the DAT this early.

Any help and advices would be appreciated!
Thanks!

You'll be good. I had same problem and schools said no more than 2 years from the END of the cycle the year u apply. Screwed me over by 3 months but guess imma have to do even better on it!
