adat

I took the ADAT today and wanted to share my experience. I prepared by using B and B dental and doing all the pre practice tests and videos, ADAT knockout (2 times through), mental dental YouTube videos, Randy Neil biostatistics videos, and miscellaneous YouTube videos to solidify certain...

Hi all, Thank you for taking the time to read and answer this thread! I am a 3rd year dental student at Case western. I am interested in applying to an endo residency; however, would prefer to apply w/o the ADAT. I’m not a strong “standardized test taker” if you will, but my grades and school...

Hi everyone! 1. I registered for the ADAT and was wondering if schools really look at the scores for specialties (especially periodontics). It seems like they accept the ADAT but do not really care much for it. I have sent a few emails to perio programs I am interested in and they either had...

Hello folks, I am about to attend a dental school that uses P/F in addition to being rank-less. I understand it is early to think about this, but what is the process with matching into a program without those two metrics? Is taking the ADAT a must for schools like that? I am super interested...

Those that took the ADAT, what were your practice test percentiles? I last minute decided to take the ADAT and my test is coming up soon, but now I am wondering if I should cancel my test because on all 3 sections I keep scoring in the 50-60% range consistently. After each test I go through...

I'm a current D3 planning on applying this coming cycle. All of the schools I plan on applying to have it listed as "optional" so I am contemplating whether or not I should take it. How big of a role do you think the ADAT plays? What are your thoughts on taking it versus not taking it?

Looking to take the ADAT this semester, but I keep seeing conflicting opinions about different studying materials. Anyone have any advice regarding ADAT knockout or crack the ADAT? Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated!

For anyone that has used ADAT Knockout and taken the ADAT, would you mind sharing the average percentages you were achieving from Knockout and how it compared score-wise to the ADAT? Trying to get an idea of where I'm at. Thanks!

Hello. Like an international trained dentist who wants to practice in the US should I give the ADAT when I want to apply in dental school or its not required.

Do you recommend ADAT Knockout ($250 for 3 month access) or Crack ADAT ($200 for 3 month access)? Or something else to prepare for the ADAT? If you have used either of these materials and have taken the exam, would appreciate any input. Thanks!

Hey guys, Im in my 4th year, and I was considering applying to endo next cycle for 2020. I know only some programs require ADAT, while others accept it, but would it increase my chances if I were to take it?

Hey, I'm currently a 4th year dental student studying for the ADAT. I was wondering if anyone has used Crack the ADAT to study for the test? I've heard great things about ADAT Knockout, but I feel like I would like the format of CrackADAT a little better. Thanks a lot guys.

hello humans! Is anyone applying for Perio residency this year?

Anybody else notice that there are multiple wrong answers on the ADAT practice exam by the ADA??? For example number 35 is A not C. source: An evaluation of factors associated with persistent primary teeth in the European Journal of Orthodontics. Or number 5 is C, not D I think 9 is C not A but...

First time poster here. Graduated with a DDS in 2017 and am currently serving in the military with 4 years of commitment. During school I didn't feel like I got enough exposure to pursue any specific residency but now that I've been practicing for about a year I'm interested in Ortho. My GPA is...

Hi SDN! First let me apologize for posting a thread of a topic with so many posts. But I need some advice. About to start the winter term of my D1 year. I am okay with doing general dentistry going forward, but I am definitely interested in pediatrics. Currently attending a non ivy P/F...

So I haven't taken the ADAT yet, but I am getting really nervous about taking it. If I take it and bomb it, can't I just not put it on my application? Or will they still have the score?

I'm a foreign trained dentist trying to get in an endodontics residency. I graduate in 2010 with a not so great GPA, got a 90 and an 80 in NBDE I and II respectively, did AEGD in the US, got a 90 in ADAT, practicing in Florida and has been applying for endo for 3 years. I never even got an...

SO. I'm taking the ADAT this week....Anyone care to to help me not freak out? I go back and forth between worrying about it, and thinking "Eh, it's just a small portion of the residency application anyway" What are your thoughts? Applying for ortho, ask me anything about me if you want to know.

Hi I'm in Toronto area and am desperate to find someone who can help me with RC section. I have done poorly 2 times and it is the only section pulling my average down. If you are in Toronto and know how to help me encounter this section (become a faster reader + strategies) I will be willing...

So I just took the ADAT and here is my personal breakdown: How I studied: I spent 2 months total studying for this exam. I spent the first month learning/reviewing the material using board busters for the biomedical sciences and mosby’s nbde part II for the clinical sciences. The second month...

.

Wondering if anyone has used ADAT knockout and whether it is helpful or not? Also, what other resources are good to use? Thanks

For those of you that have taken the ADAT, what seemed like the most useful resources to study?

Hi guys, I've tried searching on this but couldn't find anything, so I was hoping someone might be able to comment. For those who have written both the Canadian and American DATs and have/are applying to the States, do schools even bother looking at the Canadian one if you've written the...

I have a question for those who took the ADAT this year. How did the real test compare in difficulty to the practice test released by the ADA? Thoughts? Big Hoss

3rd year pros resident here - I'm applying to ortho to piggyback on my pros training. All is going well, except for the blasted ADAT! Everyone around me tells me I shouldn't worry about it, but the uncertainty of the content has me a bit on edge. I graduated from dental school in 2010 so I'm...

Took this beast of an exam. The exam is broken up into four parts. You get breaks in between each: Biomedical sciences, Critical thinking/ epidemiology, Dental Sciences, and Ethics+Miscellaneous. There are 200 questions in total, with the majority of the questions falling in the first and...

Hi everyone, It's that time of the year! Hopefully the application process is going very well for all of you (and studying, for those of us that are taking ADAT soon) I don't see a lot of activity regarding this super awesome specialty on SDN, so I decided to make a thread for this application...
