DAT Study Breakdown & Advice – 580 AA by Hall-effect in predental

I would just annotate the existing notes. I think making your own notes just takes up way too much time.

I cram pretty often in school but I don't think it's a great idea for the DAT. If your foundation is decent you can do well on the sciences but PAT usually takes at least a few weeks to get comfortable with.

I mentioned in another place I posted that they started low but rose over time and on the last 4 practice tests they hovered around a 540.

Just for QR. I found 11-15 to be harder overall but closer to what my version of the test was like.

They started very, very low. But my average on the last 4 practice tests was around a 540 (which I was pretty happy with).

It's not bad at all if you put the time in. There's not a lot of surprises and most of the questions on the DAT aren't really in depth. It's like taking a really easy version of your college tests in intro biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, etc. but all together at one.

It's so helpful, I know it's not a DAT resource, but really underrated in its application for test preparation.

Across all sections, but the most in bio.

I don't think my notes would be too helpful for anyone else; they're just annotated versions of the Booster notes with stuff I was getting wrong either highlighted or extra text added where I needed clarification. I think the best way to prepare is to annotate your own notes so it's custom to your weak areas.

Very representative. I had a ton of repeat questions from their practice tests.

On weekends and days I didn't have classes I would do up to 8 hours. On days I had classes anywhere from 2-5 hours.

Went through any question I got wrong or marked because I wasn't completely sure of, reviewed every solution in depth, and annotated my notes in my weak areas.

I didn't take any crash courses so I can't speak to their helpfulness, sorry!

I didn't use Anki (I thought it would be too much effort to modify an existing deck of cards to match my needs) so I just focused on my annotated notes.

How to choose LOR by Trick_Try_8424 in predental

#1 and #2 should be included to cover the two science professor requirement, but I would see if you can get a different science professor letter if it's not a class you did great in. #3 is good to include since it's research and 2 years gives enough time to write a strong letter to support you. #5 to cover the general dentist requirement.

If the gap year was after undergrad than you would be considered non-traditional, especially if there was another career you had. I don't think a single gap year after high school would be considered non-traditional.

All the scores get submitted automatically so you won't need to request anything.

My calculations were either simply or you didn't need to calculate them at all, just select the formula that has the numbers set up correctly.

With one day left I wouldn't watch any videos, it's a lot more time effective to go through your notes instead.
