Here’s a Free Tool That Can Help (Especially If English Isn’t Your First Language)
If Reading Comprehension feels like your weakest section on the DAT, you're not alone. For many pre-dental students — especially those who speak English as a second language — this section can feel overwhelming. The passages are dense, the clock is ticking, and unlike the sciences, there’s no formula to memorize.
But there is a way to get better. And the good news? It’s free.
Why Reading Comprehension Is So Challenging
Improving in reading isn't like memorizing Bio facts or formulas. It takes time, exposure, and daily practice. If English isn't your first language, it's even harder — you're not just reading for content, you're decoding unfamiliar vocabulary, syntax, and tone under pressure.
Many test prep programs give you practice tests, but few teach you how to become a stronger reader. That’s where outside tools can help.
