What is the DAT?

The Dental Admission Test (DAT) is a test administered by the American Dental Association (ADA). The test is four hours and 30 minutes long and contains four sections. The test is designed to assess your knowledge in: biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, perceptual ability, reading comprehension, and basic math.

You can begin the registration process for the DAT at the ADA's website. Be sure to apply for a test date early as the registration process may take some time.
