bump.
 
i took mine in sept. and got 3 interviews (only attempt). since it will be your 2nd attempt, I would not worry.

if you're 99% you will have to take it again, why not put off your first one and study more this summer. take it at the end of july, then you won't need to worry about a 2nd attempt...

September is not too late, but don't push it back no more. And send out your apps asap.

Definately agree with the second paragraph from this guy. Why in hell are you taking your DAT now and wasting money when you are 99% NOT PREPARED?! What is the point? Study for 1-2 months, reschedule, and take it in July or August.
 
well...if you'r not ready right now....dont take it...give yourself more time like 3-4 weeks , then do it...if u need to retake it..u still got the time , if u got everything ready like the ROC's and the appli...etc!!

I agree w/this post. Don't take it "thinking" or even contemplating taking it in Sept., it could back fire on you. Take it when you feel good and ready. I took a huge chance by taking it in mid-Sept. (first attempt) and luckily it worked out, but if I would have done bad, then I would be SOL. Good luck!
