I’m beyond excited to share that I finally took my DAT Exam and couldn't be happier with my scores! 🎉 Here's a breakdown of the strategies and resources that made all the difference.
Key Resources for DAT Success
Dr. Romano's DAT Class
Dr. Romano's DAT Class was a lifesaver, especially for chemistry. If you're struggling with Organic Chemistry or General Chemistry, this is where you need to be.DAT and Math Destroyer
Both the DAT and Math Destroyer resources were spot on. They closely matched the actual exam content, making them invaluable for practice.DAT Destroyer Study Group
Being active in the DAT Destroyer Study Group was incredibly helpful. The daily questions posted there were challenging and really made a difference in my preparation.Free Bio Review & YouTube Videos
Dr. Romano’s Bio Review, available for free download, and over 600 free videos on the YouTube channel were game-changers. These resources are perfect for brushing up on topics you might be weak in.Study Tips & Strategies
Chemistry & Biology
I had a weak foundation in Organic and General Chemistry due to COVID-era classes. Trust me, it was tough. But the resources mentioned above helped me build a strong understanding. Biology was tricky with some odd questions, but I managed to reason them out.Reading & Math
Reading wasn’t a big deal, though I did encounter an error in one passage and contacted the ADA about it. Math was my weakest section, and it shows in my score. However, I'm satisfied as it should be enough to get me into dental school.GPA & Test Strategy
I have a 3.7 GPA, and this was my first and last time taking the exam. If I had to do it again, I would focus solely on the DAT Destroyer and Math Destroyer. Timed tests weren’t accurate and caused unnecessary stress.Final Thoughts
A massive thank you to Dr. Romano, Nancy, and the Orgoman Team for their fantastic support and resources. These tools were critical to my success.On to the next step in my dental school journey! 🦷
Good luck to all of you preparing for the DAT. You’ve got this!
Best,
Miss A
