2026 DAT & OAT Classes – Online + In Person Options | Winter and Summer Schedule

Thank you for your interest in our January–April 2026 DAT & OAT Classes!

Below are the details for both our in-person classes (Staten Island, NY) and live online classes.

No payment is required to reserve your spot — full payment will be later
Please let me know if you have any questions or if you prefer online or in-person attendance.

Important note:
For the online DAT class, Dr. Romano teaches the first hour of each session, and then our highly experienced instructor — who has been with us for over 20 years — takes over for the remainder of the class.

If you would like to be taught exclusively by Dr. Romano, you will need to attend the in-person sessions in Staten Island.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay now to reserve a spot?
No. No payment is due now to hold your spot. An email will be sent requesting payment approximately one month before the class begins. If a class becomes full, payment may be requested sooner to secure your spot.

What is the cost of the DAT and OAT classes?
The tuition for the DAT and OAT classes is $2,500, which covers 25 class sessions. Required books are not included and must be purchased separately. No refunds are given for missed classes.

What is the difference between the online and in-person classes?
In the online DAT class, Dr. Jim Romano teaches the first hour of each session, followed by Prof. Barengolts, who was trained by Dr. Romano and has been teaching with our program for over 20 years.
In the in-person class, Dr. Romano teaches the entire session.

Where is the in-person class held?

Directions and location details can be found here:

How do I access the online classes?
Online classes are held live via Zoom. A Zoom link will be emailed to enrolled students approximately 30 minutes before each class session.

Are class recordings provided?
No. We do not record lectures. All classes are live and students are expected to attend the scheduled sessions. If you miss a class, you will be given the missed work. Our best advice is not to miss class.

Which books are required for the class?
Students must purchase the current edition of the required Destroyer books.

DAT students need the DAT Destroyer and Math Destroyer.
OAT students need the OAT Destroyer and Math Destroyer. Physics is included in the OAT package.

If you are unsure which edition is current at the time of your class, please contact us and we will confirm before you purchase.

Is Physics included for OAT students?
Physics is not included in the standard class instruction. A Physics instructor is available separately for an additional fee.

When does the weekly Q and A session start?
The Q and A session begins several weeks after the course starts, once core material has been taught, so students have time to develop meaningful questions.
This session is optional, held online, and available to both online and in-person students. The exact day has not yet been set, but it will meet at 8:00 PM (Eastern). The length of the session depends on the number of students in attendance with questions.

How do I register or ask questions?
To reserve a spot or ask questions, please contact nancy.steen@gmail.com.
