I’ve heard some testing centers give you scores as soon as you finish the exam. Is this a fact or fiction ladies and gentlemen?

You get your scores immediately. You answer the last QR question/time runs out, do a survey, and BAM they pop up. You get a printout, but it's considered "unofficial". You can input them into AADSAS, but many/most schools don't care (I think Iowa accepts it). After 3-4 weeks (sometimes longer), the "official" scores will post on the ADA website and will show up on your AADSAS app, and then schools will care. 🙂

Wow I had no idea! This whole time I thought that I had to wait 3 weeks just to view the scores. Phew that’s at least a stress off my back lol
 
If you write the American DAT, you will receive your score right after the exam. The Canadian DAT will take several weeks to get scored.
