Hey guys!
I need your opinion about DAT score and applying...
I took DAT in March and I did not do so good 🙁

Here are my scores:
RC:22
QR:13 😱😱😱
OC:26
GC:21
BIO:19
PAT:17 😡

So, I am planning to retake the test on June 25.
My main question is should I apply before that and then submit the test results later or should I wait for the test results and then apply?

My GPA is 3.95. I am currently working as a dental assistant (for 10 months) and two months volunteering before that.

So, when do you think I should apply?

Thank you guys!:luck:
 
I am worried abt QR too now since I didn't study for it that much. 🙁.. The rest of your scores are pretty good though. I wonder what happened?
 
What resources did you use in studying?? I would say apply as early as you can, and then send in your scores when youve retaken it.
 
Thanks for all the posts!

So, applying early....Well, I do understand that it is crutial to apply early, but my concern is that many schools are not going to even consider my application when they see QR 13. I wounder idf they are actually going to wait for my scores from the new test and then review the application. I read somewhere that people sent their application early and then faxed their unofficial test scores to the schools as soon as they had them. Any opinion?

Here are some sourced that I used for studying....
Basically, I mainly used my old test books for bio, gen chem, and org. chem. I still think that they are the best sources! You can use the Cliff's bookso also for a brief review of the main topics covered on the test. Unfortunately, I did not get Crack DAT PAT for that test! This is definitely something I recommend! I have seen lots of imporvment in my PAT since I have started using CDP. My main problem is time for the math section! I did not work on that as much (as you can see in my scores). I heard that CRACK DAT MATH is pretty good for the timing. I am justy now working on it, so I cannot say for sure it work for be but I definutely hope it will 🙂 Hope this helped a bit 🙂

Good everyone!
