I have a dentpin now and I want to take the DAT sometime in august. I have two questions that I need help with.

1) Should I complete the application now, or wait till around may?

2)Should i check all the schools that I want to apply to in the future when it asks which schools I want to receive my scores?
 
1) if you mean apply to take the exam and pay monies to do it...i guess you can wait. two things though: whenever you do spring the cash, i believe you have a 6 month period within which you need to write the exam. also, you might not want to sit on it too long, the ADA could hike the price to register any time they want.

2) yes. adding schools costs nothing only when you first register for the exam. so check all of them. doesn't matter if you will apply there or not.
