Well, I am getting ready to take the DAT for the second time in 2 weeks ~ Getting ready to take it the second time definitely feels much more comfortable than the first 😳 Have any of those of y'all that are taking/have recently taken it the second time found yourselves to do much better? How has your studying styles changed?

I took it in 2003 for the first time....got 19 AA/ 17 TS/ 18 PAT

I just took the test a couple weeks ago....got 21 AA/ 20 TS/ 18 PAT

I used the Kaplan Blue Book which I did not have the first time around. I also used Exam Krackers 1001 questions for the chem section, which I did have the first time as well.

Overall, I probably put in about an extra 75-100 hours of studying from the first time.

I know someone who got 18AA the first time, and 23AA the second time. It's doable. Good luck!

Yes I got an interview to UTHouston...which btw, congrats to yours as well 🙂 I love the whole feel of the Medical Center and the school, but anyway...off subject...

I'm retaking it (1) Because I feel I could have done a world better, particularly now that I'm feeling more chilled out about it (2) Because although an interview is a superb sign 😀 , the schools turn away a lot of people even that get interviews, due to space constraints...so, if I can get a boost with a better score, boost me baby ~

Don't you have to wait 90 days before retaking it? How have you taken it 2 times in 2 weeks? Just curious, thanks

I dont think it was meant two times in two weeks.. i think it was meant that two weeks from that day it would be the second time the test would be taken. 😀

1st time on August 5 2004... AA 21.. PAT 21.. bio 20.. ochem 25.. gchem 25.. rc 18.. qr 16
My computer crashed during the last section (qr) and my answers were cleared for 7 questions, hence my low qr grade... ADA gave me an option to retake and so I took it again yesterday

2nd time on Sept 11... AA 22.. PAT 21.. bio 20.. gchem 23.. ochem 25.. rc 20.. qr 23

I was definitely a lot more relaxed before the exam, the second time around. In terms of studying, I took Kaplan to prepare for the exam the first time so I just reviewed my Kaplan book again~
