The Differential Aptitude Tests®, Fifth Edition (DAT®), provides a valid and reliable assessment tool for course and career selection. It measures students' abilities in verbal reasoning, language usage, numerical reasoning, mechanical reasoning, and space relations. The Counselor's Report, available from combined administration of DAT and the Career Interest Inventory, provides an effective starting point for career discussion with counselors, parents, and students. Level 1 is primarily for students in grades 7 through 9; Level 2 is primarily for students in grades 10 through 12 and adults. Both levels can be used with basic adult education, community college, vocational/technical, and correctional programs.
