DAT — Additional Resources

The Dent Student — @thedentstudent

DAT strategy Reels from pre-dental mentor Gavin Yarbrough, built around score tiers — what to fix if you're aiming for 420, 450, 480, 510 or 520+ on the current 200–600 scale, from timing rules to weekly timed full-lengths.

Best for: Turning "study harder" into a concrete score-target plan.

@asra.dentistry

DAT improvement content from Asra, a University of Michigan dental student who climbed from the 80th to the 96th percentile — timing strategy, a daily PAT practice routine, and the Reading Comprehension mistakes she stopped making.

Best for: Students mid-prep who need strategy changes, not more content.

@razelindentistry

Dr. Razel's "Dear Pre-Dents" series includes her own DAT story — a 19 AA, a retake during a gap year, three months of studying, and seven interviews. A rare honest account of a non-perfect score.

Best for: Retakers and anyone who needs proof that a modest score isn't the end.

@singhbytes

A Tufts dental student's DAT journey and study content, shared from inside the process rather than after it.

Best for: Seeing how a recent student actually structured Booster-based prep day to day.

Chad's Prep (Chad's Videos)

The classic DAT supplement: video lessons for General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology and Quantitative Reasoning. The core chemistry videos have been free on YouTube for years; his own site adds structured DAT courses with practice questions.

Best for: Chemistry content review alongside any main course — SDN breakdowns have called Chad's videos a "must" for a decade.

Freemium (core videos free; courses paid)

The Organic Chemistry Tutor

A free whiteboard-teaching channel with full DAT reviews — roughly four hours for Organic Chemistry and three and a half for General Chemistry — plus biology and math videos.

Best for: Free, worked-example-heavy chemistry review; one breakdown from a 27 AA scorer called it the single most useful tool in their prep.

Feralis Biology Notes

The most famous free DAT document ever made: dense biology notes compiled by a student who scored a perfect 30 on the Biology section, passed around the pre-dental community for years and still cited in 2025 score breakdowns.

Best for: Biology deep review and final-weeks high-yield cramming (OAT students use the same notes).

Free (original notes)

DAT Destroyer + Destroyer Study Group

A standalone, deliberately harder-than-the-exam practice book (2,300+ problems across the sciences and QR) from independent publisher Orgoman — plus a free Facebook study group with daily questions and a free Biology Review file, and a YouTube channel of walkthroughs.

Best for: Students who've finished content review and want to over-prepare; the free group is worth joining even if you never buy the book.

Paid book ($189.95) · Free group/YouTube

Anki for DAT

The free spaced-repetition flashcard app DAT students use mainly for biology facts and organic chemistry reactions — the retention layer on top of everything else.

Best for: Long study windows (8+ weeks) where forgetting is the enemy.

Student Doctor Network — DAT Breakdowns

Thousands of first-person score breakdowns — the materials each student used, their practice scores versus the real thing, and what they'd change. Still active on the new 200–600 scale.

Best for: Researching any resource (including every other entry on this page) against real outcomes before you commit.
