The Dental Admission Test (DAT) is a standardized examination required for admission into dental schools in the United States and Canada. Administered by the American Dental Association (ADA), the DAT assesses a candidate's general academic ability, understanding of scientific information, and perceptual ability. The exam consists of four sections: Survey of Natural Sciences, Perceptual Ability, Reading Comprehension, and Quantitative Reasoning. Scoring well on the DAT is crucial as it plays a significant role in the dental school admission process. Candidates typically prepare extensively, utilizing various resources, to excel in this challenging exam.
