Our DAT Prep Program Takes the Bite out of the Dental Aptitude Test!

The DAT (Dental Aptitude Test) for aspiring dentists can be challenging. Not only does it test your perception and reading comprehension, but it also covers a broad range of natural science topics. In order to score competitively, you need to have a detailed knowledge of biology and chemistry.

At Hit the Books, our expert tutors build up this much-needed knowledge and ensure that you know how to apply it to the DAT’s fast-paced question format. Our biology, chemistry, and language tutors are PhD candidates and graduate degree holders who can cover all DAT subjects and give you the tips and strategies you need to succeed.

Start with a discounted trial session in one or more of your desired subjects and sign up for a tutoring package once you are absolutely satisfied with the result. We will help you improve your weaker subject areas with targeted study and achieve a high, well-balanced score.
