If you took the DAT exam multiple times, does the dental school admissions committee take the average of all your scores OR the superscore (best value in each section) OR your best exam (the exam with the highest TS/AA) OR something else?? I appreciate any help, thank you in advance.

Your most recent score, doesn't matter if its higher or lower. At least that's what I've been told.

It depends on the schools. Some schools only take the most recent one and some schools take the highest one and I think one or two schools take the average of all tests. There is an excel file about this information but I don't have the link. sorry. 🙁

So they count the most recent score and totally disregard all the other scores?

Do you remember any key words from the excel file that would make it easier for me to find when I google it? Is the excel file on SDN? What should I type into google in order to find it?

Also thanks so much for the help, anyone else know how it works?
