  3. DAT • Overview • Dental Admission Test • Like the SATs for college, an objective method • Visit http://www.ada.org/dat.aspx • 4 Multiple Choice Sections • Survey of the Natural Sciences • Perceptual Ability Test • Reading Comprehension • Quantitative Reasoning

  4. Sections of the DAT • Survey of the Natural Sciences (90 min, 100 Q) • Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry • No physics! • Perceptual Ability (PAT) – (60 min, 90 Q) • Optional 15 minute break • Reading Comprehension - (60 min, 50 Q) • Quantitative Reasoning – (45 min, 40 Q)

  5. Scoring • Each section has its own individual score based on a scale of 1-30 • Each Natural Sciences subsection (Biology, Gchem, Ochem) also has its own section • Score will be represented as • AA – all the sections averaged • TS – the Natural Science section • PAT

  6. Survey of the Natural Sciences • Biology • General Chemistry • Organic Chemistry

  7. Biology • 40 Questions • Cellular Biology • Taxonomy • Physiological Systems • Developmental Biology • Genetics • Evolution, Ecology & Animal Behavior

  12. Which of the following ions has the largest radius • K+ • Ca2+ • Ne • F- • S2-

  13. How to prepare • Section is “like” math • Materials • DAT Destroyer • Chads Videos

  14. Organic Chemistry • Substitution and Elimination • Mechanism • Synthesis • Bonding • Stereochemistry • Aromatic

  17. How to prepare… • Crack DAT PAT

  18. Reading Comprehension • 3 Passages • Dental • Science • Non-science • 60 min – 50 Questions

  19. Quantitative Reasoning • Algebra • Numerical calculations • Conversions • Probability / Statistics • Geometry • Trigonometry • Applied Mathematical Questions • 45 min – 40 Questions

  20. How to Prepare • Materials • Math Destroyer!!

  21. Study Plan • Generally top scorers study 3 months before their test date • Dedicate a summer or break to studying DAT material only • In 2 weeks to your DAT test, begin practicing timing and taking notes of which areas you are weak in • Compile notes and study them two nights before your test • If necessary, relax the day before and take your test!
