It’s a culmination of all those difficult science courses you took – combined with parts of the SAT – packed into a 5-hour final.  \nYet, thousands of students just like you take the DAT each year, do well, and get accepted to dental school.  \nSo how do they do it?  \nThose students took it one step at a time. First, this is the study guide those dental students used to get excellent DAT scores. It will teach you everything you need to know about the DAT from scratch to get you started on the right foot.  \nSecond, you need a study schedule that will take you step-by-step, day-by-day, to show you exactly what you need to learn to ace the DAT and get into dental school.  \nBecoming a dentist is a difficult, yet rewarding journey. It will require a lot of work and sacrifice on your part. But I can tell you firsthand, the moment when you treat your first patient – and they smile and say “thank you” – will make all the years of studying more than worth it.  \nAnd we can’t wait to help you achieve your dream of becoming a doctor of dentistry.  \nLet’s do this!  \n– Ari & the DAT Bootcamp Team  \nColumbia University  \nCollege of Dental Medicine, Class of 2018  \nIntroduction  \nThis guide is a combination of everything I have learned about test taking, the best study materials, and the DAT itself. I’m Ari, creator of DAT Bootcamp, and in this guide, I will outline a study plan that has worked for myself and thousands of students. I’m going to go through some general DAT advice, the recommended materials to use, and a breakdown on how to tackle each section on the DAT. Set aside about 15 minutes to read this DAT study  \nguide in full.  \nLet’s get started.  \nJoin our DAT Facebook Study Group  \n[https://www.facebook.com/groups/datbootcamp/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/datbootcamp/)  \nThis study group is an extremely valuable resource while you study for the DAT. I recommend signing up for two reasons: First, if you ever have a question on a science concept, practice problem, or something about the DAT, it’s very likely that someone on there will help you out.  \nSecond, you can help out other people with their questions. You remember 10% of what you read, but 90% of what you teach. Even if you don’t know the answer to someone’s question, look it up and explain it to them. You’ll learn something new, it’ll stick with you for a long time, and you will have actually helped someone else out.  \nRegister to Take the DAT  \n[http://www.ada.org/en/education-careers/dental-admission-test/](http://www.ada.org/en/education-careers/dental-admission-test/)  \nBe sure to follow the steps exactly as specified on the ADA’s website. Read the entire DAT Guide and checklists provided so that you don’t run into any trouble on test day.  \n“When should I take the DAT?”  \nThe DAT is offered year-round through the Prometric test centers. I recommend registering early – seats tend to fill up quickly and it’s common for the next available seat to be up to 2 months away!  \nThe majority of students study for the DAT while enrolled in classes, in the summer between junior and senior year. They start studying around April and take the test in the summer, around June through August. It's challenging, but it isn't anything harder than what you're going to do in dental school, consider it a test run!  \nI'd recommend taking an easier course load during the semester if possible, and starting studying around late March, planning for a June test date. That way you start studying while in school, then finish up finals, and can dedicate some time just to the DAT towards the end during the schedule. You can also reschedule the test to later in July if needed. It’s more important to take the DAT when you’re ready rather than early.  \nIf you're really rusty on your basic sciences, you can go through the first half of the study schedule (the Learning phase) on your own time, ju","cbCaiuZUKaBrotZA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuZUKaBrotZA","pdf",235494,17,"English","# Introduction\n## Register to Take the DAT\n## When Should I Take the DAT?\n## Should I Self-study or Take a Test Prep Course?\n## How is the DAT Scored?","[{\"question\":\"What is the DAT, and why is it considered difficult?\",\"answer\":\"The DAT is a comprehensive exam combining demanding science content with additional test components, compressed into a 5-hour final.
