"I recently took the DAT prep course here at BYU this past winter semester 2019. I wanted to thank the test prep program for having great teachers, and all the time and effort they invest in helping students boost their scores! I know that my score was significantly affected by the hours of instruction and all of the course materials provided. My scores ended up being phenomenal on the actual DAT!! So thank you for that! Keep up the good work preparing students to rock their entrance exams!"

"With the all of the classes, materials, and practice tests under my belt, I was able to rock the DAT and I scored a 22! When my older brother took the DAT three years ago, he took a different prep course and paid almost 3 times more. He also scored a 22." DAT scores: Perceptual, 24; Overall, 22
