(No) Changes to Biology Test Specifications – updated 8/26/2014
It was previously reported that Biology test specifications would be changed in 2014. This is incorrect. There are no immediate plans for changing the Biology specifications, and they will remain the same in 2014 and 2015.

Changes to DAT Critical Thinking Content
In order to enhance testing of critical thinking skills, the Quantitative Reasoning Test (QRT) specifications have been revised to eliminate the sections for numerical calculations, conversions, geometry, and trigonometry. Items will be added in the following areas: data analysis, interpretation, and sufficiency; quantitative comparison; and probability and statistics. These changes will be implemented no sooner than 2015.
As more information becomes available, it will be posted on the DAT website at http://www.ada.org/dat.aspx.

Expansion of Fee Waiver Program
Starting in January, 2014, the DAT fee waiver program will be expanded. The waiver program assists a limited number of examinees who qualify for financial aid by waiving the DAT fee. This is a pilot program and the number of fee waivers will be regularly monitored based on demand, expenses, and resource requirements.
