r/ADAT

For those who took mocks from JADE, was the actual exam as hard as the mock or comparatively easier. I feel the mocks are quite hard while practicing.
Any input will be helpful

I just received my results today. I studied for the exam for 6 months. Should I apply or retake in August ?

I have my exam in 6 days,for those who’ve been through this before, what mindset helped you the most in the final week?

Should I focus on revision, practice questions, weak areas, or just staying calm and confident?

Any short advice or tips would really help. Thank you. 

Hi everyone, do we get an email confirmation after we submit the application and mail the notarized copies to the admissions office? Other than the automated email upon submission of course. Has anyone received this recently?

Hello all any idea when will booster offer its next coupon code? I kinda missed it last time when they gave the offer in April.
Any particular patterns observed as to when they give coupon codes? Or how many times a year??

Can anyone advise if only revising the Jade tests and mocks will be enough for the ADAT exam. I am feeling very anxious and don’t want to mess up the exam. Please if some can reply who has already appeared for the exam.
I have my exam in almost 3 weeks.

Thank you everyone for sharing your views and suggestions for ADAT .I am following this group from last year started preparing from November and did exam in April.
I got my results today - 650
I followed Jade resources for ADAT and KO for just to make myself familiar with multiple tests.

Can we all come together to create a scoreboard/thread for the 2026 ADAT cycle? It would be helpful for everyone to get a sense of the applicant pool.

Please share:

* ADAT score

* Program applying to ( US residency or Canadian IDAPP.)

* GPA (ECE or WES)

Please join in if you’re comfortable sharing!

My details: 600, Canadian IDAPP, 3.92 ECE

Hi everyone,

I’m an internationally trained dentist with a CGPA of 3.2, and I’m planning to attempt the exam this August. I also have a 6-year clinical practice gap, which honestly makes this journey feel even more intimidating sometimes.

Every time I sit down to study, I get overwhelmed and start feeling like maybe I’m not capable of doing this anymore. It feels hard seeing others move ahead while I’m trying to rebuild my confidence from scratch.

I would really appreciate hearing from people who were in a similar situation, low GPA, long study/practice gap, self-doubt, starting over later in life but still managed to make it through. I could really use some motivation, encouragement, and positive energy right now.

Thank you ❤️

I just got a 490 on my ADAT, and honestly I’m devastated because I know I could’ve done much better. My GPA is 3.9, I passed the INBDE on my first attempt, and I prepared really hard for the ADAT. The problem was that I completely panicked during the exam, ran out of time, and couldn’t control my stress.

I booked my retake for the end of August . but the application deadline for some schools is July 2, and my retake score probably won’t be available until August.

Do you think it’s still worth applying now with my current score and then updating schools with a new score later? Has anyone been in a similar situation before?

Also, with a 490 ADAT, do I realistically still have a chance at some universities, or would applying this cycle just be wasting money? I’d really appreciate honest advice from anyone who’s gone through this process.

I got my results today and scored 600 in adat . Should I go for 3 attempts or should I focus for others aspects like ielts and bench test for Canadian universities
