I was just wondering what the SAT scores were in this group? For those of you who are getting interviews or got really great scores on the DAT.. what are your SAT scores? (if you dont mind posting them ). I was just curious to know.

I got a score of 420 (200 for English, and 220 for Math) over all on an old SAT.

Should we include our SAT scores on aadsas maybe? I did pretty well so I'm thinking of sticking it in somewhere..

 

[briansle]

Hmm... I don't see how the SAT is relevant when applying to D-School.

Kinda of seems petty to attach something like that. Makes your app look juvenile. I dunno just my opinion.

I also did well (1490), but I think your DAT score will speak for itself.

I also think there is a correlation btw SAT's and DAT's, since the reading and math part for both exams are almost identical.

Maybe you're right but I think I might include it anyways because I am Canadian..so they might like to see my english score 720 just in case because I'm an international applicant.

I did pretty poorly

First Try
610 math
600 verbal

Second Try
630 math
550 verbal


Although I never studied...

a 1210 is bad?? since when? solid score imo

I dunno it wasn't good enough for scholarships of any type so i would just call it average.

 

[cowsgomoo]

I got a 1390 on my SAT's the first time i took it a 800 in math and 590 in english. Did very poorly in english, it has never been my strong suit anyway.

I think the idea of this thread was to see if a correlation exists btwn SAT and DAT scores. If you have not already done so, please post both.
I had a crazy low SAT (sub 1000) and scored 20 across the board on the DAT.

 

[Trookie]

1st SAT: 1190
2nd SAT: 1230

DAT: 18/18/16

I think there was definitely a correlation between my SAT & DAT scores. Both were pretty average.

im sorry but this thread is completely pointless..most of us took the SAT what like 4-6 years ago? besides that it has absolutely nothing to do with getting into dental school nor the DAT

 

[Sprgrover]

2nd SAT: 1190

My math score was pretty weak as I recall - my verbal score was rather high and that helped. I didn't study at all and thought the test was a big nuisance.

Some schools, e.g. Arizona, will ask for you ACT and SAT scores - regardless of how old they are.

really huh? i don't get that..but i agree with you the SAT was really a nuisance..i mean you're hardly tested on anything you even learn in school

 

[USAF_Dentman]

Math ~ 780
Verbal ~ 400

I dont see how it would be relevant.

 

[Biogirl361]

i didn't take the sat, but i wanted to post anyway 😛
ACT:28 overall
DAT:21 overall

i do think the two scores are related, because when you look at the breakdowns of scores, almost all of my sections corresponded, for example on the act my verbal was 33 and on dat it was 25 (my highest scores on both tests) but for math, act was like 24 and dat was 17 (lowest on both tests). the tests are common in that in both of them your knowledge counts for 70% and just being a good standardized test taker/ performing well under pressure counts for 30% in my opinion.

Yeah ACT is what i took for univ., Sat was just for no reason i guess. I can see how the math correlates to DAT QA, as i would imagine that they are similar. Got 36 on math part, 35 on science but 21 on verbal. DAMN, i guess i better work on the verbal.

 

[Literati81]

SAT 1: 1420 (Don't remember the breakdown except that I scored higher in math than verbal)
DAT 1: 23/19

 

[aphistis]

SAT freshman year of high school: 1320
SAT junior year of high school: 1400
DAT: 21AA/21Sci/17PAT

It's a full standard deviation and some change above the average, which puts you at about the 85%ile or so. Maybe it's not superhuman, but it's definitely a good score.

 

[mnrji]

My SAT score was 1200
Math 760
Verbal 440

My DAT scores were
AA 24/PAT19
My RC score was 27.

I was asked about the big gap between my SAT verbal score and my DAT RC score at one of the interviews. SAT was taken right after I came to US(SAT VERBAL WAS SO HARD!!!), and DAT was taken 10+ years since then.

 

[kato999]

sat 1480
act 33
dat 23/23

as far as arizona goes they do not use act/sat to determine whether you will get a interview or not. atleast they are not part of the satistics they tally... they may be used as some sort of tie breaker but i am just guessing on that.

 

[v&andy_yankee]

stop fretting over the sats, they're in the past.

imo, it seems juvenile of the schools to be asking about your sats. some people just need to move along, we're not in high school anymore. reminds me of the awful times in high school when kids would have penis wars over who had the highest sats. move on! your dats, gpa, and extracurrs should say more than enough about your post-high schoold days.
