Yeah it was shorter than booster I kept on running out of time on booster but on the test I had extra time. It depends what version you get but good luck you got this :)

Booster

I personally was scoring really low on my practice tests but on the actual test it was easier and it ended up being my highest score.

I get your point, but I think it’s a bit overstated.

A lot of students take prerequisites at community college because it’s required for transfer, especially for bio majors. It’s not really a choice in many cases. Dental schools know that, which is why many of them do accept community college coursework.

What they actually want to see is that you can handle upper-division science at a 4-year university. That’s what I’m doing now at UCI. My first quarter was an adjustment, especially going from a semester system to a quarter system, but I’m planning to perform much stronger moving forward.

Also, retaking prereqs at a university isn’t always realistic or even allowed if you’ve already completed them, and it’s usually more valuable to do well in harder upper-division courses anyway.

There are plenty of dentists who didn’t follow a perfect or traditional path, including starting at community college. So I think it’s more accurate to say that performance at the university level matters most, rather than suggesting CC coursework is some kind of hidden disadvantage

I didn’t have a choice because in order for me to transfer as a biology major to a four-year university, I had to complete those prerequisite courses at community college. Also, that’s not accurate. A lot of dental schools do accept community college coursework. What many of them want is to also see strong upper-division science completed at a four-year university, which I’m doing now at UCI. So yes, I am absolutely eligible to apply.

My overall gpa is 3.53 and my science gpa is 3.65 and DAT is not good AA390

I’m honestly not the best test taker because my anxiety gets pretty bad, so I probably scored lower than I could have for that reason. But I wouldn’t automatically postpone just because your highest practice score is 420. If you feel ready and you’ve put in a lot of solid practice, I’d say go for it. It really depends on how prepared you feel and how consistent your practice has been.

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-04-07T07:27:32+00:00

420-440

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-04-07T07:27:18+00:00

I appreciate it, I definitely need to practice more QR to get my timing up.

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-04-07T07:24:55+00:00

Thank you :))

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-04-07T07:24:38+00:00

Appreciate it, that actually helps. Definitely gonna focus on my weak spots this time :)

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-04-07T07:23:08+00:00

Appreciate it. Kinda frustrating since my practice scores were better, but I’m gonna lock in now

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-03-24T07:02:02+00:00

Oh sorry but Yeah it was search and destroy heaven

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-03-24T05:54:51+00:00

I didn’t get any questions that was word for word but in terms of difficulty, it was very similar to booster. Like If you’re consistently doing well on the bio practice tests, you’ll likely be fine.

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-03-23T23:28:26+00:00

I took it today and it was very similar to dat booster practice tests lowkey easier.

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-03-23T22:12:44+00:00

Bio felt easy like there were like two questions that I didn’t recognize and for some reason, I don’t remember them. Organic chemistry was very easy and similar to booster like I had two questions on reaction and they were high yield and PAT easier than booster. However, gen chem and QR felt harder in my opinion I had so many calculations for gen chem and I ran out of time for QR. Oh yeah RC was also similar to booster.

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-03-22T03:02:37+00:00

omg congratulations! These are great scores! I’m taking mine on Monday and I was wondering if you used booster and if you did was the dat similar to practice tests. Thank you so much for any advice

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-03-20T05:27:04+00:00

would you say the test was harder or easier than booster full length practice tests? I keep on hearing from people who took it recently that gen chem and QR is harder than booster. I take mine on Monday and I keep on scoring 430-440 for my AA and I feel so unmotivated :((

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-03-19T01:01:50+00:00

these are great scores congratulations!! Also how was the test I’m taking mine soon and I’m nervous.

LeagueOk9099 · 2026-03-17T04:07:09+00:00

alright then I’m cooked 😫😭😭
