Members don't see this ad.

I know this is a noob question, but what are some dates that people take D.A.T?? I'm getting around september?? when can you usually take D.A.T? and how long do you have to wait until you take another one.

you can take it any day of the year except holidays im presuming. anyways, go to www.ada.org then register online for it like i did last week. it costs 175 dollars. a letter will be sent to your house with a number you call where you select the testing center, day, and time.

you don't have to wait for the letter. you can go to www.2test.com when you register with the ada online, and set it up.

take the test when you're ready. sometime before june is best if applying that cycle.

thanks for the reply. How long do you have to wait to take another one, if you don't like the previous score?

The great thing about the DAT's, the scores are instantaneous. You'll finish the test and press DONE/FINISH/OK or something and then your screen starts tripping out like it's an ADHD kid on crack and then your scores pop up on the screen. You'll get a printout and your set to go. The test is seriously not as bad as it seems. Remain calm throughtout the test and best of luck to you.
