Please see the following message from the American Dental Association (which hosts the DAT):
"In an effort to improve the services we provide, the Department of Testing Services (DTS) will be moving to a new software system. In December of 2012, communities of interest were informed that testing services would be interrupted during this transition, which was anticipated to take place in early 2013. This service interruption has now been scheduled to take place from March 14 through April 3, 2013. The following services will be unavailable during the transfer:
• Updates/retrievals/requests involving personal information/DENTPIN®
• Application processing
• Score report requests
• Score processing
This service interruption could impact individuals seeking to create a DENTPIN or to retrieve their DENTPIN, delay student receipt of score reports, and delay processing of DAT registrations. The ADA indicates that this transfer process is anticipated to require up to 3 weeks. The DAT will continue to be administered at Prometric Testing Centers throughout this time—it is test registration and test score processing that will be delayed.
Please contact the ADA Department of Testing Services (hinshawk@ada.org) if you have questions."
