Hello all,
I am new to this forum so I hope I am posting in the correct section.
I am currently a second year student attending a Canadian University of undergrad. I am having trouble deciding whether I should write the DAT this year or next year. I plan to study for it during the summer and then review until November since I will be writing the Canadian DAT. However, I am not sure if I should take a DAT prep course. The only one offered in Windsor, Ontario is Kaplan - On-Site class which is basically a class online where the teacher is on webcam. My problem is I don't have an issue studying by myself or keeping myself motivated, my issue comes in the fact that I do not want to focus on things that I shouldn't be. For example, I heard from many students who have written the DAT that genetics is not if importance. Thus, I do not want to spend a lot of time on genetics when I could be studying other subject. So I don't really know if I should take the course because I'm pretty sure they are going to re-teach me things I already know. But then again, if it will help me, I would rather take it.
Also I was wondering, I am a Canadian student but I may also want to write the American DAT since you can write it at any time of the year. In the event that I chose to do so, is there any way I can get Canadian Dental Schools to look at that score? -- I would much rather write the American DAT in the summer than have to write the Canadian in November with 5 other midterm exams.
Thanks all,
Samer
