Commonly Asked Questions
The Dental Aptitude Test is an admission requirement for most Canadian and U.S. dental schools. The DAT has two different versions authored by either the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) or the American Dental Association (ADA). At DATprep.ca we prepare you for the Canadian DAT and its four compulsory sections.
Standardized DAT scores are sent to dental schools selected by you. Scores are often used by dental schools alongside grade-point average, interview results, and references to determine eligibility for admission. The Canadian DAT consists of 210 multiple choice questions.
Originally, the DAT was written on paper twice a year: in November and February. Now it will take place electronically every month at testing centers throughout Canada and the United States.

Why do we charge for this resource? Tutors, engineers, and video editors cost a lot. I want this to be the best place to ace the DAT, and to do that we need to compensate people for their time.
