I was just wondering on what dates the DAT was available to take because I read that its available on almost any day? However, I was wondering if that's exactly what they mean? Also, what's the policy on retaking the DAT?

Thank You!

You literally can take the DAT any day you choose, as long as seats are available. Sometimes testing centers are closed for holidays or renovations, otherwise, you can schedule any day. They advise you register 3 months or so before your preferred date to ensure yourself an open seat.
Upon finishing the DAT you must wait a minimum of 90 days before a retake

I recommend just setting a date as soon as you start studying for it or at least 3 weeks before you take it. When I scheduled mine I wanted to take it as soon as I possibly could and the closest date that was available was 2 weeks later, so the earlier you schedule it the better I'd say
