Hi everyone! I am currently a sophomore at Ohio State. I have been asking others when they took the DAT and for feedback on When it’s best to take it. I am still unsure if I should take it this summer or the summer after junior year while juggling applications. thank you!
I took the DAT just before I applied to dental school. I believe I took mid-May and submitted my application the first week of June. I felt good about this because I had finished all my courses that the DAT covers and I had a lot of time to study leading up the exam!

Hey Rachel! Thank you for the feedback, I have only taken one bio class so far. It is bio 1113 here at osu, should I wait to take the DAT until I have more bio classes under my belt?
Hey! :)
I took the DAT a few months before applying to dental school (towards the end of my junior year). While it doesn’t really matter, most people I knew waited until around that time because they didn’t finish all the courses the DAT covers until then. I would say as long as you have taken all your classes the DAT covers (bio, gen Chem, o Chem) and you feel ready to take it, go for it! :)
