Predictive validity of the Dental Admission Test.
The relationship of Dental Admission Test (DAT) scales and predental grade point averages (GPAs) with freshman and sophomore dental school performance measures and National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) Part I averages were examined. The results indicated that the DAT scales had limited predictive validity with respect to summary performance measures and measures in specific disciplines. Furthermore, the DAT contributed information regarding dental school performance beyond that contributed by predental GPAs.
