You Failed the DAT. Now What? Here's the Plan That Actually Works.

First, take a deep breath.

If you're reading this, chances are the DAT didn't go as planned—and right now, you're feeling discouraged, anxious, or maybe even thinking of giving up.

But don’t.

We’ve helped thousands of students bounce back stronger than ever. With the right strategy—and the right materials—you can succeed. This blog will show you how.


Why Students Fail the DAT (It’s Not What You Think)

Most students who fail the DAT aren’t lazy or unmotivated.

They simply studied using the wrong tools.

Programs like Bootcamp and Booster may feel sleek and organized, but their over-reliance on unrealistic question banks and misleading timed tests can backfire—especially on exam day.

The problem isn’t that you didn’t study hard enough.
The problem is that you studied for the wrong test.


What Actually Works? A Proven System.

We’ve worked with struggling students for decades. Many come to us after failing with other platforms—and finally get accepted to dental school after using DAT Destroyer.

Here’s what we recommend for a successful retake:

✅ Use Realistic, High-Yield Practice

The DAT Destroyer was created by Dr. Jim Romano—an Organic Chemistry Ph.D. and former dental school professor. It focuses on the concepts that actually show up on the DAT.

✅ Focus on Mastery, Not Just Speed

Timed tests too early can destroy your confidence. Start by mastering the material untimed using detailed solutions, then add speed later.

✅ Review Biology Carefully

Most students underestimate this section. You can download Dr. Romano’s FREE Biology Review in our Facebook Study Group under the “Files” tab.

✅ Build Confidence and Community

Retaking the DAT can feel isolating. That’s why we always recommend students join our free Facebook Study Group for encouragement, tips, and direct support.


The Best Combo for Retakers

We strongly recommend the DAT Destroyer + Math Destroyer Combo. It’s our most trusted package—and you’ll automatically save $50 when you bundle.


💬 Final Advice from Dr. Romano:

“The DAT is not about being the smartest student—it’s about being the most prepared. Every student I’ve worked with who refused to quit eventually made it. You can too.”
