Hello All, I am an international student from China and will graduate this semester. I would like to apply the dental schools. I just finished my DAT test today and I need some advice. Should I retake the test? Here are my scores.


Pat: 20
quantitive reasoning: 23
reading comprehension: 16😡
Bio:.18
chem: 21
organic chemistry:18
ts: 19
aa: 19

I have a 3.45 GPA and will solid here I think. Should I retake the test to improve the RC and the TS a little bit?
 
Your scores are fine except for RC. A number of schools consider this a top 2 section in terms of importance, if they have a cutoff at 17 you would have to retake it. I am not sure which schools place less importance on it though.
