Past DAT Scores and Future DAT Dates

Hi,

I'm applying this cycle and am planning to submit my DAT scores from last November, however I will be taking the DAT again this November. It's the Canadian DAT, that's why I have to wait until November if you're wondering.

My question is this...

If I report on my application that I will be taking the DAT again in November, will this delay schools from looking at any of my application until then, even though I've supplied them with my current DAT scores?

Or will they look at my current DAT scores and simply acknowledge that I will be taking the test again?

My scores on the first test were AA 19, TS 19, PA 21 so they're still respectable, but I've got to boost my carving score of 14.

Thanks for any help!

By telling them you're retaking the exam, you're essentially telling them you can do better on the test and that's a good thing. So, they will wait till they receive your new set of scores and hopefully see an improvement.

Good luck👍

So I should submit my first scores as well as include the date for when I'll take the DAT again.

Is it a disadvantage at all to report that I won't be taking the test again until November? Will schools ignore my application until then?

this may be a stupid question -- but where exactly do you put "future test date" for the american dat on this new aadsas??
