Hello folks!
I've been lurking for a while and hopefully this post will help out any pre-dent students on here that are in a similar situation.
This past Friday, I took the DAT and ended up doing pretty well. I started studying in late May with DAT/Math Destroyer, DAT Bootcamp, and Chad's Videos, but I don't want this post to be a breakdown.
Some background:
When I was in kindergarten, teachers noticed that I wasn't hitting certain developmental milestones. Naturally, appointments with child psychologists were scheduled and after the appropriate tests were conducted, six weeks later I was diagnosed ADHD and an associated learning disorder.
School has never been easy for me. Since I can remember, it has always seemed that I spent twice as much effort as my peers to get the same grades. Everyday is a battle to be productive and find success academically. Needless to say, when it came time to take the DAT I was extremely nervous.
I applied and submitted the DAT accommodations form (http://www.ada.org/~/media/ADA/Education and Careers/Files/dat_accommodation_request.ashx) and began studying in late May, with the test scheduled for Sep. 30th.
When I saw the score screen appear on Friday, I freaked out.
A good score on the DAT is achievable if you study a little bit every day, and do NOT allow yourself to be discouraged by a LD, ADHD, naysayers, or other obstacles. If I can do it, you can too.
If you have any questions about the accommodations process feel free to DM me! I want to be a resource for others who are in a similar situation!
