DAT Scoring
The DAT is scored on a 1 to 30 scale.
For each section of the test, the actual number of multiple-choice questions you answer correctly per section is your raw score.
All multiple-choice questions are worth the same amount—one raw point—and there's no penalty for incorrect answers..
This score is significantly below the average for all test takers and will prohibit your entry to dental school.
In fact, many schools will not consider an application if a single subject is less than a 17.
An AA of 17-18 means you underperformed the average for all applicants..
A good score is 20 AA and should be most students' goal.
Scores of 23+ AA are rare and exceptionally competitive..
The DAT score ranges from 1 to 30.
According to the test prep experts at Kaplan, competitive DAT scores that rank in the top 25% DAT score percentile are 19 to 20 points.
So, a top score would be 21 or higher.
