SirDent77 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hi everyone, I already paid to write the DAT and the test will be at the end of February but I'm not well prepared! there's lots of material I still didn't cover. No refund and no rescheduling!! should I go and write the test or just don't show up? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fentist Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Have you written it before? Some schools take the most recent and some schools take the highest so you have to be careful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's what I'm mostly worried about if I wrote the test, it maybe risky. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fentist Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 If you haven't written it before, go for the experience. You have nothing to lose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starburst Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I would go ahead and just take it. Most Canadian dental schools take a look at your best or most recent score, so you have nothing to lose. And if it helps, I've read somewhere about a girl who studied for just 2 weeks and got a 21AA, so it's possible to do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saskdent009 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I would highly recommend you take it, just to see what the fuss is about and familiarize yourself with the process/time constraints. I took it once for "practice" and I learned like a slap in the face how time constrained the PAT section is when you are in that environment. I noticed that several people also felt quite constrained with the RC sections. BIO/GC tend to be okay, either you know it or you don't lol. MDT I cannot speak from experience.

ella98 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hey everyone, I'm also in the same boat as OP...I'm very anxious and not happy with my practice test scores. How many times retaking is too many? I'm hoping that a competitive score is weighed higher than the number of times written but is 2 or 3 too many?
