what to do with DAT retake

Uhhh so I f***ed up by thinking that 3 year expiration for DAT scores is valid up to the year of application rather than the year of matriculation. I thought my 2009 DAT score is still valid for this year 2012, but it turns out it is not.

I am applying to Midwestern for their MA program and I haven't heard back and they start on late August.

I guess my question is....

Should I study really hard for like 4 weeks and hopefully take the DAT before I leave for Midwestern or try to study now and during the MA program and hopefully take it by October. Will that be too late for my application? I already submitted, paid, and finished the secondaries.

In 2009 I got AA 20 and TS 20; Bio 20, Ochem 21, Gchem 20, PAT 19, QR 26, RC 21. I am sort of confident that I probably don't need to spend a LOT of time on bio and gchem. I am very confident in my QR and RC. Not confident in ochem and PAT. Based on that, would you guys say 4 week is enough?

Thank you very much

if ur marks, LOE, etc is fine theyll wait for ur dats but can still process ur application.
yes 4 weeks is more than enough, especially since u wrote it already, id recommend 2 weeks study, then write 2 practice tests, tthen study for week, and then 2 more practice tests then brush up on what u did bad on for a day or two. my new study plan, it has gotten me a 25AA, 26 PAT. i wrote my dats yesterday

Hi
I was confused about DAT prep since i am a foreign trained dentist.
I found a very good online tutor .....her teaching is very good plus she send assignments to practice every day ....that kept me on track ..
also i m foreign dentist so i did not know what books to follow .....believe me i got no books at all and i did not have to do anything other than the course ....just 1 month and i was done and luckily i scored very well
u can also contact the same tutor for help.....i dont think they have any webpage or something i was referred by a friend who also took the course.... but i do have email ...it is [email protected]
good luck everyone

thank you nitu

I don't really need a tutor. Just wondering if sending DAT score in around late Aug or Sept is too late.

Ya I can't even pick a date to take it yet because I don't know if I will get into MWU-AZ's MA program. I have old KBB and cliff AP bio. Other than destroyers need to be new, does KBB have to be?
