Predental students are required to take the Dental Admission Test (DAT) twelve to sixteen months prior to the expected date of matriculation. It is recommended that these tests be taken after completion of the Spring semester of the sophomore or junior year and only after thorough personal preparation. The DAT is available on demand in an electronic format only following an approval of an applicationform and fee payment to the Dental Admission Test Program and registration with a Sylvan Technology Testing Center at least 48 hours in advance. Applicants may retake the test after a 90-day waiting period; but they must file a new application, pay a new fee, and register with Sylvan to do so.
