Hhaha. Me too, i suppose to take it in early September but the math and bio holding me back, delay until mid Sep, still not feel ready.
I am taking it in Sept. 26. How about you??
 
I am scheduled for the 8th!! Math is at 0% right now but the semester has started, so I don't know what to do...what you guys think?

According to this forum, math is the least important section but i think some schools have a cut off. I'll be happy with 17 or 18.

I think if you prepared for the other sections, then spend 5 days study super hard for math, you will get at least 16

Salaam, Ramadan Mubarak! I think you should focus on it hardcore until Sept 5 or so, grab some SAT Math books! If you do a lot, I think you will be good.
 
the 30th for me..i know its late but would rather be extra prepared.
good luck to everyone!!!

Walaykum Assalam, Ramadan Kareem!! It sounds crazy, but I think doing a little math everyday until the 8th will put me in ok position. I am good at math also, but I am worried about all the little formulas etc...
 
I already submitted almost 1.5 months ago, schools are now only waiting for my DAT scores.
Good luck to you guys.
 
Not taking the DAT in Sept. but I am in fo sho.
I am studying in advance so I will be studying with everyone.
 
me....aorund the week of sept 15.... havent finalize my day yet.
practicing on my math now. CrackDAT MATH...some are hard and i dont think they explains it well, i caught some typo on their answers...which is no no good...iono whether i should trust their answers for the other 24 test samples or not...

What do you guys think about the CrackDAT Math.?

My DAT is scheduled for the 6th. But i will reschedule to sept. 25. not sure yet. I'm not very hopeful about this cycle. I only applied to 3 schools. As a canadian applicant i am unsure about which school I should apply to.
 
19th for me...

ready for bio, gen chem, pat, qr

screwed for oc and rc (still debating between search-destroy or read first mode) 😛
 
Ramadan kareem my fellow muslim SDN's, mine is on the 8th as well.

I am totally freaking out, i dont think i will be fasting that day, i will make it up later.😳

I postponed gajillion times, felt like math, rc, gchem, ochem and bio were holding me back!😀

Good luck everyone!

the reading given from the DAT is not meant for you to understand,absorb all info and answer it because you dont have enough time. skimm thru it kinda see whats on each paragraph, then search for your answers.
 
I am taking mine on September 11. Such an ominous date... Uh oh.

Good luck everyone! 🙂
 
Taking mine Sept. 13. Still have lots to cover, hopefully will end up with good enough scores.
 
are you all applying this cycle? i'm scheduled for 9/9 but i think i might postpone (again) to end of sept. my apps are all in and mailed. the schools i applied to just need my scores. do you guys think we can still get interviews for this cycle? aren't we already at a huge disadvantage compared to those who submitted everything back in june/july?

Depends on which schools you're applying to and what your stats are. Of course it would be preferred that students have all their stuff in by Sept. 1, but people still get interviews and acceptances with having their file complete by mid to late Sept.

The biggest step is having all your app verified and mailed. Once that goes through you can take your time with your DAT.

well lets sure hope not, if you think you might not get interviews, why are you still taking the DAT
 
I have a feeling the September crew is going to put the july/augusters to shame!!! We are the late bloomers!!

Just make sure you all score super high guys in order to balance out my upcoming low score though lol.
 
Taking mine on September 19th as well. I am currently studying for ochem. I have given up on understanding all the mechanisms, just gonna memorize all the reactions. Making flashcards. Any suggestions? I was considering rescheduling to later, but I have already rescheduled twice, but I am not applying till the next cycle. Gonna study as hard as I can, but if on the 18th I feel like I am gonna get raped by the test, I shall postpone. Good luck to everyone.

the 2010 cycle? wow thats early! I think everyone here is doing 09 cycle

everyone here IS applying for 09 cycle right?

If you are applying for the 09 cycle are you applying this may or june of 09 or earlier? Cuz i am a bit confused. I want to apply may or june of 09, but want to get into dental school the fall of 2010. Is this too early to apply or the right time?
 
to gain entry in the Fall of 2010, u need to apply in May 2009. This application cycle is for those who want to start dental school in Fall 2009.
 
Okay, so looks like I am most likely going to postpone the test till after christmas break because after doing problem sets on o-chem, looks like I got a lot more studying to do. I had a couple questions though, here they are:

1) How do you tell which compound is the best leaving group?
2) How can you tell when a compound is going to undergo substitution or elimination? It's hard to tell sometimes.

Thanks guys.
 
I cancelled my trip that i planned 4 months back , whole summer gone for the DAT, quit my job so i can have more time at the dental office. Even though...i wont be on the early admission, but crossing my fingers that some school would save me a spot, ...almost done.........for those Sept takers hang on..!!
GL to all...

These 2 questions make up half the material tested on the orgo section, very important!! Do a thread search and you will find some good explanations.

i am takin my DAT end of september as well, i am so glad that i am not the only one. i am more concerned about doing well than applying early. this is my second application cycle, last year i SUBMITTED my apllication on november 31st, so it was mailed to the schools much later than that and i still got interviews! i didnt get in coz my scores were weak. so concentrate on being a good applicant and the rest will fall in place. since you have already submitted your application, you should be OK.
 
Sept 19th here... might push it back to Sept 25+... Bio took me forever and getting caught up elsewhere
 
im retaking Oct. 19, im sure its too late, but i have too, I cant take it before then cuz i bomed it in july

good luck everyone, HAppy Ramadan for those fasting.
