So I took my DAT on 13th and did horrible.
Chem-20
Ochem-20
Bio-17 ( Don't know what went wrong)😱
PAT-14 ( I really felt like breaking the computer when i looked at this section)😴
R.C.-18
Q.R.-19

In my crack dat pat my lowest was 18 and in top score i always got 19-20 in sciences, math and reading. So now the question is if I retake the exam in October would it be too late for me to apply for the next year!!? Or Should i Just apply now and then retake the exam. One of my friend told me that in application there is no way that you can mention that you are re taking the exam. So please advise me on this. Should I apply now and submit my new score ? Or Should I apply a month before I take the exam ? Or Should I apply after the exam?

Thank you very much for all your help. Also what book should I use to study bio . I used K.B.B. , AP Cliff and Dat Destroyer ( 2007).

what's your gpa?
your 14 in PAT will most likely hinder you from getting any interviews this cycle. If you already applied, might as well just go with it.
In addition to that, you got 17 on bio, which is a red flag to most dental schools.
But, retake and try to get in next year 👍

I just replied to a post like this a minute ago. Have you submitted payment yet for your application? A retake in October puts you at a huge disadvantage, essentially putting you in a position to compete for an alternate spot with spring interviews. If you haved payed yet, think about the possibility of having to wait a year.

You can apply and let the schools know that you are retaking the exam in October. Sorry to say, 14 in PAT section is very bad.
