DAT Study Guide
Welcome to BohrPrep general study guide for the Dental Admissions Test. In this guide we are going to talk about what you need for acing the DAT and getting into the dental school you desire.
How to choose a dental school
There are many dental schools across the US and choosing the ones that would be suited to you is not easy. Here are a few suggestions for your criteria.
Biology
The First part of the Survey of Natural Sciences on the DAT is biology. This section has 40 questions on topics that you can see the details on this article.
Top Front End
The most challenging section for the PAT of the DAT, the Top-Front-End. In this section of the PAT, you will be dealing with three different viewpoints.
Pattern Folding
In this subsection, a flat pattern will be presented which can be folded into a 3D figure. You should choose which one of the four 3D shapes it would make, if the flat pattern is folded.
Quantitative Reasoning
Quantitative Reasoning section includes 40 questions for 45 minutes, the last section, which means many students are exhausted by that point or might have mismanaged their time in other sections.
Shadowing and Volunteering
Dental students are expected to spend time shadowing a general dentist. It is best to have worked with several dentists rather than just one.
Organic Chemistry
Organic Chemistry is the last subsection of Survey of Natural Sciences and there are 30 questions in this subsection.
General Chemistry
The second sub-test of the DAT Survey of Natural Sciences is General Chemistry with 30 questions.
Hole Punching
In the paper folding/hole punching section, you are given a shape of a flat square of paper which is usually folded one or more times and then a hole or two is punched in some places of this paper.
Keyhole
