"I made sure to do all 10 of the Bootcamp practice exams, and these practice exams were VERY representative of the actual exam."

I want to emphasize that if you use Bootcamp EFFECTIVELY, you WILL be prepared for this exam. I made sure to do all ten of the Bootcamp practice exams, and these practice exams were VERY representative of the actual exam. If you are on a tight studying schedule like I was, definitely make it your priority to get through all of the practice exams, and focus on studying any concepts you struggled with that consistently showed up on practice exams.

Trusted by 100,000+ students

Over 90% of pre-dental students studied with DAT Bootcamp last year. See how they used DAT Bootcamp to ace their DAT.

"You don't need every day to be a perfect eight-hour study day. Even on days when I only studied for a couple of hours, I was still moving forward."

The Bootcamp High-Yield Biology Notes were probably my most valuable resource, along with using AI to generate additional practice questions once I had worked through all of Bootcamp’s Question Banks. I also really liked the biology videos because they gave me a good understanding of the information before I went deeper into reviewing it.

"The Bootcamp schedule intentionally finishes about a week or two before your test date, giving you crucial time to review weak spots and gain experience with full-length practice exams."

The biggest takeaway I have from studying for the DAT is that consistency and passion are everything. While it’s easy to view this as just another test, it’s important to realize how critical it is for your application. The DAT is a true test of your ability to digest complex academic topics, move through material efficiently, and execute a strategic game plan, all skills that are essential for navigating dental school. Because of the intensity required, I strongly recommend finding a solid 1- to 2-month window where you can sit down and commit 110% of your effort. I began studying directly after finishing my senior year finals around May 10th and treated prep like a full-time job until my test date on June 29th, building a routine around 6 to 8 hours of daily studying.

"The number one resource from Bootcamp that helped me succeed was the Dr. Ari's 90-day schedule. The daily assignments really helped me stay on track, especially in the first few weeks."

A few things I did in the week leading up to my exam to relieve some anxiety was taking my full length exams at 8:30AM in the library so that I could simulate how test day might actually feel. I also started going to sleep earlier so that my sleep schedule would be adjusted by the time of test day.

"I would definitely focus on acid/base chemistry as a more highly tested topic, and also mentally tell yourself to slow down a little on OC to avoid silly mistakes."

I made the most of it by strategically simulating the entire testing experience every day as accurately as possible (waking up at the same actual testing time, eating the same breakfast, drinking the same energy drink, going to a random public library cubicle, leaving my phone in the car, running the same 30-minute break routine, etc.). Even though there are some things you can’t control when taking a test in an unfamiliar environment, you can control yourself, so practice exactly the way you plan to perform.

"I highly recommend Anki for biology, do as many practice tests as possible, and review those tests multiple times to make sure you know all the obscure facts that you were missing."

One thing I had to remind myself was that not every day will be perfect. One day you can get through 3 bio chapters and score super high on a practice test, and the next you can barely focus and get the easiest questions wrong. This is not a reflection of you. When you are in dental school you will have hard days, so it's infinitely better to set up good habits now so you can thrive in the future.

"My biggest tip for the DAT is to not ignore the sections you already feel comfortable with!"

The reading comprehension section goes by so quickly, so practicing and maintaining speed is very important. Have a plan in case you get one really long passage on test day. Remain consistent with your RC studying, especially if you’re not used to reading so quickly or for extended periods.

"Focus on consistent daily study, spaced repetition, and building a toolbox of strategies rather than trying to memorize everything at once."

One strategy that helped me tremendously was studying a little bit of every DAT subject every day. Instead of focusing on a single subject for long periods of time, I allowed information to gradually “marinate.” Spaced repetition made concepts stick much more naturally over time.

"My biggest advice is to take your time and avoid rushing into the exam. Everyone learns at a different pace, and you should keep studying until you feel comfortable with the material."

The key thing to remember about PAT is to train yourself to look for what is wrong in the answer choices rather than trying to confirm the entire correct option. Eliminating mistakes is often much faster than proving something is completely correct.

"The questions Bootcamp asks are very similar to questions found on the actual DAT and the format and interface of their Full Length Tests are almost identical to the DAT itself."

Two critical advantages that Bootcamp has over other study programs is that: 1. The questions they ask are very similar to questions found on the actual DAT and 2. The format and interface of their Full Length Tests are almost identical to the DAT itself.

"A few of my classmates recommended Bootcamp, and after taking my DAT, I can confidently say it is one of the best study tools there is."

"I would not focus too much on your practice test scores, as mine were often different than the actual score I received. Focus on learning the material as thoroughly as you can and you will do well. Stay consistent and often remind yourself of the reason for your studying."

"Bootcamp was my primary source of studying and practicing for the DAT, and it was one of my best decisions in life to use this site."

For future DAT test takers, I recommend watching all the lectures and taking notes, and doing the practice problems constantly throughout the whole process. Also, I highly recommend taking all the practice exams in a fairly short amount of time (probably not six in a week like I did) in order to become familiar with the structure of the exam right before test day.

"I absolutely loved using Bootcamp, everyone was so supportive and responsive, the interface is user friendly, and it was perfect for learning and refreshing old / new topics."

The DAT is a hard exam, but anything is achievable, it can be discouraging to get certain scores, but you have to remember that getting it wrong in practice will only help you retain it better for the actual exam! Good luck to everybody I hope I was somewhat helpful and feel free to reach out anytime at all!
