Summer is the toughest, because you are taking classes, studying for DAT (for those under 20AA), and studying for the DANB dental assisting licensing exams. Fall becomes more easier, but they add the clinic portions, because at this point you are now dental assistants and will be in the clusters assisting 3rd and 4th year dental students. Spring is by far the most relaxing for those that already have a high GPA, but it can be stressful if you need all A's to get the 3.5, so my suggestion is that you work hard from the beginning and you will be rewarded at the end. We have a lot of random 1-2 hour breaks between our classes throughout the semester so it is hard to say the exact schedule, but usually you will either have a long day 9-5 with breaks in the middle, or days with only clinic which is 3 hours, or days with only classes, which can range from 2 hours a day to like 5 hours a day.What's the schedule like during the three semesters?
So you will have a lot of free time throughout the semesters, but work hard and don't slack off too much (save that for Spring semester once you got the high GPA and only need like B's to maintain the 3.5).
