Dat & Oat

[sajjy]

I am planning to take DAT in Jan 2008 and aspiring to go to a dental school.
But i am also planning to take OAT as a back up.

my question is that will the dental schools will come to know that i took OAT also?

some schools ask you in the secondary application if you have applied to any other professional schools but I don't think they ever asked if you took the OAT or other tests as well as DAT.

Most people on SDN will not be 100% sure what the adcoms will ask, because, quite frankly, most of us are not adcoms. However, just to be safe, I would prepare in advance to answer the following question: "So I've seen you've taken the OAT... why was that?" Better safe than sorry...

You're supposed to list any other standardized test you have taken, at least from what i've heard. I agree above, pick one and put your all into it. Good luck.
