i need everyone's opinion.

i am going to move my DAT date from 8/21 to 8/27...thats like an extra week to study. is it too risky or not.

i want to be totally prepare for this and feel like an extra week will go a long way.

what do you guys thinK? should i just not reschedule it or what???
 
I think it's fine. Just fax your score in to all your schools. Mine's the 24th and I'm contemplating pushing it back, but I kinda don't want to torture myself studying any longer! 😱
 
Too late is relative. Maybe Aug 1st was too late for some.

Mine exam is after yours. I got friends doing it beginning of Sept....

Tough call. If you kill it, it won't matter, IMO.

This is true. If you have solid scores you will have a chance of getting in. I am not taking mine till sept...so hopefully I will have solid scores😀

I agree. I'd take a 23/23 in Aug than a 18/18 in June anyday. Plus, some schools don't even start reviewing app until late Aug/early sep.
 
I just pushed my test date to September 22. I would rather give myself more time and take it when I am ready than to take the test unprepared and have to take it again.
 
From what the schools have told me, you should be fine. I pushed mine from July 31 to Aug 15. The schools just asked me to fax my scores to them directly so they can start evaluating the completed app. Just like jiga said, most don't review till September anyways.
 
How do you fax your scores in I have ADA sending mine out to school... and at $25 a pop it costed me quite a bit. Do you just fax them the printout you received on the day you took it or something?

yes, fax in your printout to the schools.
 
Just out of curiosity would that have been an alternative to having ADA mail them out? Do I have to call up each school and get permission/instructions on how to fax in my scores?

all schools will want an official score from the ADA, it's just that some schools will use a faxed copy so that they can review your application.

some schools suggest that you fax things in just to get the process moving again, UF asked me to fax the scores in when I'm done.
