Question about canceling the DAT exam

[Nucleophile-DDS]

Hello guys,

I have a question in regards to the DAT cancellation. My plan was to take it this summer but I decided that I'm going to apply next year, and take the DAT next year as well. Are there any consequences for doing this? I know that I'm going to lose my $420 but will the dental schools know that I already signed up for it? or is my application going to look bad? or something else?

I appreciate all of your help!

Can you try hitting reschedule and reschedule it for like a year? And after a year you can just reschedule to a better day if you wanted.

I did this last year. I just didn't show up the day of... schools won't know the difference. My application pdf shows no info regarding a missed exam. The only consequence is lost money (which hurts enough on its own!).

I just have a quick question please.. I went on prometric site to cancel my test and they wanna charge me $60 fee, when you missed your test did you have to pay a fee?

No... don't cancel, just skip it. That fee is bull****.
