Hi, everyone!

From the threads and others I've talked to, it sounds like most people take the DAT more than once. This raises a couple of questions that I'm hoping you can help with...

1. Do schools see the # of times an applicant had taken the test?

2. If I've taken all EXCEPT Biochem and O-chem Part#3, should I be taking the DAT? (From my understanding, DAT covers the first 2 quarters of Ochem and no Biochem)

3. I was planning on taking DAT in June so that if the scores come back lower than expected, I can retake in August (require 90 days?). Is that advisable or a bad idea?

Thank you all in advance!
