Hello everyone!
I need to make a decision here and need your advice!
Has anyone taken DAT three times?
I have already taken DAT twice but got low scores on both DATs.
Because of the low scores, I hesitated to apply this year but ended up applying a few dental schools this past month thinking there might be a chance if I retake the DAT.
I took the Second DAT this Summer and was going to retake the DAT in OCT or November and send the scores but I am having a real problem on concentrating. I was really disappointed on my last score and got tired of studying. I am not sure if I will be able to get a higher score. Since this will be my last chance, I really need to get a good score but I am losing confidence.. I think I will be too nervous to take it.
My other problem is that I am looking for a job right now so it's really hard to focus on studying.
Should I get a job first and then study for DAT later? In this case, I will have to give up going to dental school next year and wait until next year to apply dental school.
Or should I just try to study and take the DAT in November?
Right now I am just doing both.. sending my resumes around and studying for a few hours each day but I know I need to put more hours on studying..
My situation is complicated and I am losing hope to go to dental school here.
I would appreciate any kind of advice you can give me.
Thank you!
