Hello, I plan on taking the DAT's mid February, and I plan on studying starting mid december (after the fall semester). I already have the Kaplan DAT book, but I see that they offer online courses for $1400, its pretty expensive but I was wondering what the people who had taken these online courses thought about the classes did they help? where they worth it? Thanks

I think the online material was good; but I do not know at what price. I really didn't care how much things cost because I want to be a dentist no matter what and I wanted to pick where I went to dental school, Hence the good scores and tons of interviews. Just spend the money, it is all worth it in the end when you have a good score.... You are going to need more than Kaplan though for bio.... they have alot of really good math/orgo/gen chem.. PAT is way way too easy.. RC also very good
 
I finished the online course in 2.5 weeks and managed to pull off 23 AA 21 PAT. So from my point of view, it was worth it. Practice makes perfect!
 
I took the online Kaplan course and I really liked it a lot. I wanted a study program that was somewhat structured, but not as structured as the Kaplan classroom course because I was working and taking classes when I studied for the DAT. I really liked how I could do the online material in whatever order I wanted to because I really didn't want to review the material in the order that the Kaplan classroom course did. Overall, it was expensive (I'm still paying the credit card bill 👎) but I think it was worth it! Good luck!😀
 
I was very efficient on practice PAT, 21-23, 24's... real test was just tough I only got a 19... BUt... at every interview the schools do not even mention the PAT... I think the PAT means nothing... Just get like a 18 19 and u will be fine... Science is very important..
