Question about DAT retake

Members don't see this ad.

If I take DAT on July, and if the score is not good, then can I take it again on Oct and is it going to be updated automatic so that the school will look at my new DAT scores after Nov ?

Yup, it'll automatically resend your packet to dental schools you applied to. I did the same thing last year.

can you tell me what is the pros and cons taking it earlier and then retake it later ??


schools will look at my applicatiion and then do you think they look at mine again ?? how do they know that my application is updated ??

They'll know it's updated because AADSAS will say "sent X date" under mailing information after you add your new test information. If you do well then they'll take that into account, but by October it might be considered "late".

Case in point, I wouldn't retake until you're sure you're going to do well/better.
