Low DAT :(

So I took my DAT, and I am definitely not happy with my scores: Total Average-18, TS: 17, PAT: 16. I already submitted my application back in June.

I e-mailed a few school's telling them that I will retake. Is there anyway other way to inform all the schools that I will retake it in December? I don't know what my chances will be for this cycle. I will still retake it anyways and if not I will apply next cycle.

I worked as a Dental Assistant, I have research Experience, and tons of shadowing hours. Any advice on how to study this time around?

You can do this by updating the 'DAT Scores' section on your AADSAS portal. If you've already told schools that you plan on retaking the DAT, then I believe they will put your application on hold and review after new scores come in (which is after Dec 1; when schools start sending out acceptances). Good luck! Btw, what went wrong with your first attempt? What study materials did you use?

Thank you! I'll update it soon. And idk what went wrong. I didn't go through all of destroyer, and my studying was as organized. I only did some bootcamp exams, and I used chads, and ferallis. What would you recommend for this time Around? I'm going to be using ARIs bootcamp schedule

There is no cookie-cutter advice. My recommendation is for you to go through the breakdowns from this year and follow a plan that YOU think is complimentary to your own study habits.

You are using all the right study materials. All I can say is keep reviewing them. And yeah, add DAT Destroyer to that list as well.

Destroyer is worth its weight in gold. Go through it 2-3 times.
