Hi everyone,

I will retake my DAT in January.
Do I still have to apply again to take it? or is there something different that retakers must do? I've already checked the ADA website and unless I missed something, I would greatly appreciate the advice!

Thank you

Eligiblity and Re-examination
The candidate is eligible to take the test for a 6-month period. If the candidate does not call, register, and take the exam during this period, he or she will have to submit another application and fee in order to take the exam later. Candidates may apply and retake the test up to three times, but they must submit a new application and fee for each re-examination, and the re-examination must be taken at least 90 days after the previous exam. Be sure to check for updates on eligibility requirements at www.ada.org, as this information may change at any time.

Oh wow. I can't believe I read this like 4 times and I still missed it. Thank you Ms. Nancy! It's been a rough week.
