Answer 1

When should I take the DAT?

The best recommendation is to take the DAT when you feel you are ready. You do not need to have completed the DAT to submit your application, but schools will not review your application until DAT scores are received so it is advisable to take the DAT by the end of the summer or early in the fall. One reason to get this test done with sooner rather than later is that if you do not score as well as you would like on test, you can not take it again for 90 days. So, if you took the test at the beginning of June and did not do so well, you can retake the test in early September. I would recommend taking the DAT in the spring or early summer if you are able to get studying in before then. If you can't take the DAT until much later, do not worry - you may still get in, but the later into the cycle that you take the DAT, the less chance you have of acceptance.

When to start studying?

I recommend you begin studying a few months before you take your exam.
