Never take the DAT if you feel that you're not prepared. If you think that pushing the test back to late August would give you a higher likelihood of performing well, then by all means do that.

Keep in mind that, and i'm sure you are already aware, your application will not be complete until your scores are received. This means that you will not be viewed as an "applicant" because your application is not yet reviewable.

don't worry. When I had applied to dental school, (i have a very long complicated story about dental school or not dental school, so just pay attention to this post and not my other ones) I took the DAT at the end of September (october 1st).

I still managed to get into three schools (USC, Tufts, NYU) - meaning that I believe test date doesn't matter so much as doing WELL on the test and of course, solidifying the rest of your application . Good luck.
